    What to put on variation form?

    Hi Guys,

    I have decided to go ahead and out in a variation for a blackpowder revolver (.44). I have an open slot on my ticket for a .44 Lever Action Rifle so I'm going to ask for that to be swapped for a BP pistol, which I believe should be a free swap.

    However, I'm not sure what to put on the form 202. Should I ask for a .44 blackpowder revolver, or a .44 blackpowder muzzle loading pistol? I'm a little concerned that a revolver isn't muzzle loading.

    Any and all advice appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Dan

    Muzzle loading Revolver or Pistol.
    Revolvers that are loaded from the front of the cylinder ARE considered Muzzle-loading.

    A BP revolver is a muzzle loader, but don't ask for a "BP revolver" - this would preclude the use of BP substitutes - ask for a "Muzzle loading revolver" in the calibre of your choice.

    Also consider that if you want a Ruger Old Army you will need a slot for a .45. To cover yourself request a slot for a .45 and a slot for a .44.
    Some people will say that a slot names as a .45/.44 will do. I have been advised by a RFD that this is not the case. You need separate slots.
    Seems over the top to me but I just went with the flow and have ended up with two Ruger Old Armies. Would you like one.
