Howdy Folks

I couldn't find a 'how-to' guide on the interwebs for stripping the Westlake Alfa revolver. So I made one.

So if you want to see what's inside an Alfa .357 ;

Apologies for video quality, only had a webcam handy at the time. Still useful if you want to strip yours for trigger fiddling or deep cleaning. Or if, like me, you just like to see how things work. Hope it's useful for someone.
Cheers! thankssign

I'm thinking of getting a Westlake MLR soon. Do you have to get a variation on your FAC to buy the shotgun primers?

As said, no.

The fact you have a gun which requires shotgun primers to operate is sufficient reason to acquire them.
They aren't recorded on your FAC, though the RFD will likely want to see your FAC to check that you have a legitimate use for the primers before selling them.
