Neat! Wonder what he does for ammo?  Fulminate of mercury is nasty stuff to...ah...stuff into the rear of a hollow-based bullet! 

[Sir Charles deMouton-Black]

I think he modernized the ammo by using .40 S&W cases.  This website doesn`t explain, but I`ll bet Hobie`s blog does.

  What a work of art, amazing, I will be amazed if that man not gone be headhunted by UBERTI or COLT or others.
He is a gunsmith to he's fingertips.

At a gun show a few years back, a fellow Seller and a long-term friend showed me his latest "treasures":

1.  A Volcanic pistol

2. An 1851 Colt Navy, and

3. A fantastic Bowie

all of which had been carefully, and recently, manufactured by one person.  The absence of serial numbers, particularly on the '51 Navy, caused my friend to be very antsy vis-a-vis to whom he showed his newly-acquired treasures.  And he wouldn't have parted with them for love nor money.

I'm here to tell ya that all three were carefully and painstakingly produced.  I would have given my right -- ah -- never mind -- for the '51 Navy, but he wouldn't sell.

I followed the thread on "Paco Kelly's Levergun" forum from start to finish.  The cartridge is a "short" .40 S&W.  That little rifle is a Work of Art!!

I want one!!  Or ....... even TWO!!

I believe this is the same fella that brought his home spun Volcanic to Thunder River Renegades Match last weekend and I did get to handle it for a few minutes,...extremely well made and very tight. Seemed almost like a toy compared to a full sized 9lb. Henry. Heard he also shot some rounds down range with the little 40S&W bullets. Also had a Volcanic revolver he was working on and near completion and would much like to experience shooting that thing. Hope he comes back soon.
