Question for you Cap and Ball revolver shooters??

[fortyshooter]

When you fire off a round do you notice sparks coming from around the outside of the cap?

[BigAl52]

Nope not me. Only when I fire off the rock lock do I see sparks. And lots of that good smelling smoke to. I can smell it right now just talking about it

[GunnyGene]

Never noticed any.

[Vaquero]

I have three, no make it four that I shoot and I've never noticed any sparks that I recall.

Nice looking pistola there, Gene.

Nice little collection there buddy.
I have 3 1851's, 2 in .44 and the third is a .36
Then there's the other two .44's, the 1862 Army and an old 1858 Rem. kit gun that's never been blued that I bought at an estate sale a Long time ago.
It get's shot more than the others and has a small 6 point buck with it's name on it.
