Just signed up, was promted by a search for info on the CVA 1861 colt navy 44. I got mine out and did a total teardown and cleanup. Feels like a new action
. I was out of country for a few years and have lost my instructions. What is the proper ball size for this gun, anyone know? I got this kit when I first got married in the late 80's early 90's. Now I want to load up for my kids to shoot, I remeber the powder charge, but not the ball size, I thought it was .445.
I also have a .50 cal plains rifle kit that I assembled around the same time. It is a blast to shoot, and my son thinks it's the coolest
out of my collection of different firearms. John
