I reload and do not fear any cartridge (except for brass). From the responses, I get the feeling this project is at the mercy of the FFL game: you can go broke paying an FFL for each 'parts gun' shipped. I'll take a closer look at the C&R approach. Remember, I'm at the mercy of my nostalgia for this niche in American history.
Note: I'm pretty sure the Iver Johnson owl grips are interchangeable. So it would be possible for original owl orientation to be reversed by replacing with an incorrect owl, n'est pas? So the coil spring is the only reliable indicator of Model?

Driftwood: Are all the revolvers shown in your reply shootable? In your research, did you find any interesting facts about the black powder ammunition sold for them as the decades rolled on?
