Can anyone recommend a good book or web site which shows you, step by step and with illustrations, just what is involved with loading, firing, cleaning, etc. a percussion revolver? Thanks!

That Cabela one is interesting. They don't even take the bits out of the frame. I know not everyone does, but doesn't that just let corrosive crud gather inside it?
Yes but apart from that, Mrs Lincoln, what did you think of the performance?
Thanks, mates, that's just the sort of thing I was looking for!
I enjoyed the Cabelas video on loading: but I wish he'd shown how to load the percussion caps, rather than just tell us that doing so is the next thing to do.
