I called Leon McBride on this one. The ones used in the Circus Are equipped with a .38 caliber blank cartridge. This is not a DIY project. Leon said they were dangerous and must be built very well. The firing mechanism and chamber must be made from steel. I think I would find a reputable gunsmith who could construct the mechanism for you. Leon said the hammer could be made out of Schedule forty, but the mechanism must be steel.
