« on: August 19, 2014, 04:00:57 PM »
This is a little pistol I delivered at the CLA this weekend. It is based on the William Henry pistol made in Nazereth PA .As always all questions and comments are welcome.

Question for you sir.
I have used several of the same caps as you have on that pistol.  In fact I used my last one last week.  Now for the life of me I can't seem to remember where I got them.

Can you tell me who is casting them?
