Hi all, I finally took delivery of the 577 Howdah today. It's not in as good of condition as the 70 cal, but is still pretty nice.

The 70 cal is on the bottom.

The rear sight is missing, but I'll try to copy the one off of the 70 cal for it.
It looks like I'll be able to use some 28ga CBC brass for the cases. Then I'll just need a 58cal round ball or minnie mold and I'll be in bussiness.

That's a nice pair. Can you post a pic of the ammo when you get some extra time? Thanks.

Lar: Please keep us informed as to how these rigs shoot. Where and when were the pistols made? What are bore and groove diameters and rifling styles?
