At 26:34 you say "detachable volleys" rather than "detachable volley sights."

Guido Schriewer

right. have to mix new moosemilk. btw I use that as cleaner with smokeless. barrels and cylinders are done rather easy with that. call it blasphemy but... this is not my favorite single shot. give me a trapdoor, sharps, rolling block or highwall. but that... nope.

Bruce Brodnax

Stronger action than a trapdoor, faster to reload than a RB. Can't fault you on taking a Sharps or Highwall over a Martini, but there's a much of a muchness about all of them. Would love to have a MkIV in the .40 cal that never got adopted, just for the cool factor; the 577-450 "Short Boxer" is a miserable beast: I think the U.S. did a better job of things with their standardizing on the .45-'70 cartridge.
