Video shows the process of loading a R&D (Howell Old West Conversions) conversion cylinder in a Ruger Old Army revolver. The .45 Colt cartridges contained 40 grains of GOEX FFFg black powder.

MUSIC: "The Lonely Shepherd" featuring Gheorghe Zamfir, playing the pan flute, and recorded with The James Last Orchestra. Most people will recognize it as part of the soundtrack for the movie Kill Bill Vol. 1

  • Very good upload. Thank you. Just wish we could have them in the UK.

  • @martindl99 Yeah, I never did understand why y'all gave up the very limited gun "rights" you had before. From crime statistics reports I read post-gun era crime has gotten worse not better. At least you can own a Ruger Old Army configured in cap-n-ball mode.

  • What type of white grips are those & where did you get them?

  • @1776crossing There are two different grips shown in the video. Both are Ruger factory grips. One set is walnut. The other set is faux ivory.

  • Would anybody let me know the back ground music's name? Such a beautiful piece.

    Thanks!!

  • @xtigerlandx The song is called "The Lonely Shepherd" featuring Gheorghe Zamfir, playing the pan flute, and recorded with The James Last Orchestra. Most people will recognize it as part of the soundtrack for the movie Kill Bill Vol. 1.

  • @manfangle1 Production of the Ruger Old Army ended in 2008. Therefore, the only available Old Army revolvers are either used models or old stock new-in-box revolvers. Typically, the ROA can be found on any of the various gun exchange forums such as GunBroker. Conversions cylinders can be found at MidwayUSA, HowellOldWestConversions as well as GunBroker and the other gun exchange forums. TheHighRoad and TheFiringLine also have Buy/Sell forums for guns and components.

  • where can i buy one of these, i have searched everywhere!

  • It is such unfortunate we are not allowed to buy firearms in The Netherlands...unless you aquiered the difficult to get permits ofcourse. I just love firearms and rifles.

  • Nicely done! I bought one and liked it well enough to purchase a second.
