A friend gave me a reproduction black powder pistol that had timing issues. So, I spent some time looking it over and then I took it apart and came up with another lamp idea. I've made 4 different lamps so far, this one and my Browning shotgun lamp are my favorites.

Man, I LOVE the "Switch" function.

Now,....be honest,...when you press down on the trigger, does the wide screen come on ?

I'd gear a dimmer to the room lights to the cylinder,...click, click, click,

thanks for posting this, Bud.

Now,...just an update on a very OLD and mossy safety advisory.

Be REALLY careful about "Minty" old rollers,trapdoors, and even a few sharps cartridge conversions,....mostly ALL Military variants.

......sold at gun shows at "fantastic prices" recently, " with ammo"....they were GREAT lamps in their time.

You DO need to plug the hole under their foreends, before showing them off as a bargain.

Dirty and oily 150 year old walnut embedded in one's left forearm takes all the bragging rights outta' the deal.

LOL! I sleep next to a rolling block lamp down at the Kenedy County ranch! Pretty cool revolver lamp!!!

So,....you're certainly old enough to remember "Ye Olde Hunter's" Rolling Block and Trapdoor Springfield ramps, .....aren't ya?

Sold for the OUTRAGEOUS price of well under $25 when we were pups

MINTY Argentines and Others,....cosmetically, the BEST.

Meanwhile ,...we were buying "Shooter Grade" for ,...what,...12.50 (shipping included, USPS ?)
