Looking for info on cap and ball revolver

eastwood44mag
Made in Italy for Richland Arms Co. .36 cal, stainless barrel, brass frame. Resembles the later Civil War Remingtons in style. Some engraving wearing off, surface rust on recessed areas of cylinder, and some age discoloration on barrel, hammer.. Would like to know what it's worth, and what kind of loads can go through it (specify powder, please, as I've been told 2F, 3F, and 4F). Also, need to replace a nipple and a spring, so I'd like to know where I can find parts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Do a Google search for Dixie Gun Works, they'll have the parts your looking for.

    Generally the brass framed cap & ball repros don't bring the money the steel framed ones do, specially if it's not in A1 condition.

    Richland was a outfit out of Michigan, they were in business from the late 60's until the 80's. To my knowledge, most of the stuff they imported was distended for the "Economy" area of the firearms market.

    As Rufe-snow stated

    will have all the parts needed. Richland Arms made othr BP reproductions as well. Ihave a 12 ga. SxS in BP made by them that I regularly hunt with. As to loads use about 20 or less grains of FFF black powder with a wonder wad over the powder then seat the ball into it. Many use over the ball grease but with wonder wads I do not. Over the ball grease is the safest way though according to some but if you use a wonder wad and you cut a good ring of lead as you seat the ball then over the ball grease is a mute point IMHO. Worth is maybe $100 to $150 IMHO.

    The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
