Walker Avenging Angel...video added

[twaits]

After cutting my Walker down a while back to 5 1/2 inches I decided that that just wasn't short enough. Now it's 2 1/2 inches.
The worlds biggest cap and ball snubnosed revolver

Hey - I've heard of you!
You're that guy that gets sued all the time.

My dad told me that they always go after the guy with deep pockets........

 

[wbraswell]

Are you going to round off the butt and Fitz the trigger guard? I don't reckon you'd bob the hammer on a single action.

 

[NFrameFred]

Yeah, that'll be as much flamethrower as revolver . . . Gonna make an ankle holster for it ?

 

[DCWilson]

That's a humanitarian revolver -- you can shoot a bad guy and cauterize his wound at the same time. Maybe it will buy him a minute or two more in case the paramedics get stuck in traffic.

 

[redrover66]

I hope it was not an original.

 

[Qball]

Now, That is soo cool.

Me LIKE very much, i wish i could hit the "like button" multiple times.
If you miss the "perp" you could at least set him on fire

 

[calmex]

That's really neat. Take some photos as you touch off a full loading. I imagine it will be spectacular on both ends.

 

[Muddyboot]

Super cool and still heavy enough for a good pistol whipping if required.

Not going to do anything else to it. The other Avenging Angels I made were smaller revolvers and I rounded the butts on them. But I really like the graceful gripframe of the Walker. It looks good with the squareback triggerguard. So I'm going to leave it alone.

Yeah I bought it at the Julia auction last year for $750,000. It was a fairly clean example but that 9 inch barrel was just too long.
But there must be at least 100 old original Walkers left so I don't feel too bad about it.

That is a pretty cool concept, kinda like an 19th century Night Guard. I think we need some pictures of you lighting that thing off! I'll bet there are some fairly spectacular fireworks associated!

 

[twaits]

Here she is going off. 50 grains of black powder behind a .457 round ball at 10 yards offhand. It was also getting pretty dark out so I think it did pretty well even though I wasn't even trying

Awesome...........

Like, Like, Like, Like.

I wish i didn't sell my ASM Walker

Darn good shooting there Twaits.

I am somewhat surprised that the rig is in fact a functional modification.

To my eye, less flash than a 21/2" .357.

Another cool one for the man with no fear

 

[PatAz]

I thought you were nuts until I saw the video, now i think it's cool.

 

[sigp220.45]

That is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time!!

Now you don't have to worry about the rammer coming loose and tying up the gun!

 

[Thuer]

It is complete wacko. Do they have a Smith and Wesson .50 snub to?
The Walker looks great. Just big fun.

 

[Rule 303]

A hand held Ground Flare Very Pistol.

I gotta have one.

Really? You need to slow it down to appreciate it I think
