to blow the oil out of the nipples, and load it up. It was my only handgun (1858 .44 Remington clone) but was a dream for a young boy. In the summer the sealing Crisco would melt and make a bit of a mess. I got good at loading so it was reliable. Make sure the caps were fully seated etc. I loaded all six and used the between safety notches on the Remington. Perfectly safe. The Colt had these little tits on the back of the cylinder, not as substantial.

I think Butler Creek came out with these little plastic discs to go under the balls, seal things, self lubricate. I used a few. Then "Wonder Wads" treated felt, seemed better to me. Might get blasted out and start a fire in the woods!

If a man attends to detail a C&B can be very reliable.
