happycowboy,


I read an article recently about a Rebel guerrilla Civil War unit. At the end of the day back at camp, the horse soldiers would dismount and "DIP" their empty, fired C&B revolvers for a few seconds into a boiling pot of soapy water and then shake the guns, let them air dry for a few minutes and then reload them.
