I am bidding on a new taylors deluxe with a msrp price of 2975.Is this a pedersoli, uberti or ??. I have been dreaming of one someday.I am also aware of the montana guns,shilo,c sharps.I have been on taylors web site and they do not say who makes the gun ?.The fit and the wood quality is very nice.I am hoping pedersoli they are in the record books and competing with the shilo's for the price.

Nicest day out today for a walk.
Walked the tracks for a bit.
Did alot of that when I was a yung one.
Hunted & fished off of those rails alot.
Usually fished at the treselles.
A little hunting off in the woods by them.
Anyone ever get to do the same in your shooting area's?

I hit that age a couple of years ago where the front sight on a long barrel pistol is fuzzy looking (no offence Fuzzy), so I came up with a quick fix, a light limiting diopter made out of a cut down 45lc shell, some wire and some plastic shink tubing. The pic's are self explainitory but here's some specs anyhow. The hole is 2mm, the wire is steel and the shrink wrap is put on before twisting the wire to shape. Also, paint the inside of the casing with black paint to eliminate any glare. Guaranteed your front sight will come back into focus after you fiddle with placement on your glasses!! My spring form was a chopstick, so don't tell me you don't have the tools.

Are the Pietta brand revolvers being sold by Cabela's equal in quality to the Uberti of the Beretta group of companies?

Or is there a better brand/manufacturer of these black powder replics?

What is the best ones to buy quality wise by which manufacturer?

I need to buy a bronze brush for my 50 cal muzzleloader.
Up to now I've been using just a mop.
Question is: does a 50 cal brush allow for pulling it back out ??
I get nightmares thinking about a brush stuck way down at the bottom.
I posed the question to the gun store owner, and after pondering for a moment he said "good question"

I have a Brass Pro Shop visa and buy everything on it and build up points every month.$20 to $30 every month, so I just let it pile up. I went down and cashed them in for a Pietta. I looked at one 1860, it was really peening the cylinder bad, had some pretty grips thou. Checked another one and it seemed to be timed perfect, so I brought it home.

I have a "Colt" 1860 so I wanted one to antique. Took the blueing off and removed the writing on the barrel.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting




Took it out to the back yard and tried it out. 28gr. of fffg, lubepill, 454 ball, Remington #10. Shot at 25 yds. Point of aim is at the writing on the bottom of target, she is shooting 11" high. 18 rounds, pretty good group.

Went back and lowered the rear sight by removing the tip of the hammer,now it only shoots 4" high, same load. You can see how it is shorter than the "Colt" 1860.

Here is the new target after lowered rear sight, now only 4" high.

Now just let mother nature add a little rust, while I get up the nerve to change the sight to a taller one. Look how much taller the sight is on this "Colt" 1860.

I recently did some wrought iron work in trade for a Colt shoulder stock....it was supposed to be $$, but when you're self employed....anything's better than nothing. Anyhow, I don't want or need it. It's got some handling marks on the wood and it's stamped made in Italy inside the brass collar (lot's of patina so I think it's fairly old), and I don't think it's ever been used. I'm asking $160.00 or part trade, whatchagot? Look at the pic's and email me if you're interested before I put it on GB.

I have one of those Bass Pro Shop visa cards, and had not cashed in my points in a while. So I went and picked up a Traditions 1860 Army made by Pietta.

I,ve already smoothed up the insides and it is as slick as any of my Colts. I have also removed the blueing and it looks great. It really shoots good. I'll do pictures later, targets and all.

I have lowered the rear sight to get it on p.o.a. I will shoot it tomorrow and see how close it is. I don't think it will be enough. Here is my Question, how do I remove the front sight, and how do I replace it with a taller one? I am assuming it is soldered on, so just heat it untill it comes loose. I can make a taller one out of a penny or a piece of brass. I think silver solder is used to put another sight on, is this right?

I am not a gunsmith but I think I can do this. Where do I get silver solder, if that is what I need?

Need some tips guys, thanks for any help. I don't really want to do a dovetail.

I brought my Uberti 1862 .36 Pocket Police 5 shot to the range today. I haven't fired this gun in a year or so - it is not my favorite gun. The loading lever is small and not too easy to use. The barrel lug/stud that the loading lever clips into keeps sliding out of the dovetail even after shimming it.
Anyways, I thought I'd give it another chance. Glad I did - it's a great little gun. The barrel lug fell out so I left it out. .380 roundballs, 20 grs of BP gives a nice little jolt in this small gun.
At 50 feet it shoots very high but it's probably my best gun for singlehanded shooting. At 50 yards it was still hitting high. At 100 yards it was pretty much dead on. Impressive. When I shoot the Walker at 100 yards it's hard to see the hits in the dirt because of the smoke, but with this little gun there's less smoke and you can actually see it hit the dirt way out.
One thing I noticed is that the spent caps tend to slide down, which means the hammer is hitting then releasing from them and not holding them in place. Could this be due to the smaller size of the gun and the relatively big load (20 grs)?
Nice gun.

One of the guys in my Black Powder is a 3rd genration Gunmaker , he makes long rifles as a hobby ..2 years ago I had him make my wife a Lancaster rifle that really fits her ...she`s been shooting it for about 6 months now ..and it improved her shooting by 100% . I`ve always been the type to buy ready made rifles , I figured more is better and after years of shooting rifles that one size fits all , I`ve just got use to it and never complained . Well the wife contracted the gunmaker to make me a rifle like hers as a Christmas gift , even though to would take over a year to build .Well my bad luck has struck again ..The gunmaker called me last week and said his company is transfering him to England for a year ..eaither that or move to California untill retirement , so he chose to move to England for a year ..he` 59 years old , not that far from retirement amd vice President of the company . I went to his shop to talk about my rifle , ( he has to leave the 15th of this month ) ..what he has done is still in the rough ..he gave me a choice of getting the money back or takeing it from where he has to leave off before he leaves at a discounted price ..of course you know what I said ..I can handle finishing it ..would rather he did , but ..alot could happen in a year and I don`t want to take any chances with something I will keep as an heirloom ..anyhow I`ll post some pictures of it when I get it and also some pictures of the wife`s finished rifle .......I`ve had that dang dark clould following me around as long as I can remember ...I wish it would hover somewhere else for a change .

This is not BP so I hope you'll forgive me. Just a cute little story.
Years ago, some friend of my son's gave him a junky 22 rifle.
He in turn gave it to me, and after one look it went into a dark corner for ten years. It was a beat up looking Sears 1971 single shot bolt, lousy stock, slightly pitted on the outside of the barrel. Not the prettiest thing I ever saw.
Don't ask me why, but last week I hauled it out of the corner, cleaned it up a little, put a cheap 4x Tasco scope on it and took it to the range.
A few clicks on the scope and it was putting shot after shot into less than a 1/2" circle.
Yeah, it was only 25 yds, but it was also cheap Blazer stuff I was shooting, plus a God-awful scope.
I had always assumed it had a pitted bore. My mistake - it's shiny and sharp.
So,the barreled action has been polished, stock re-worked, scope ordered, and Cinderella will get to try her luck on the 100.
Funny, but all these years I've been waiting for a gun buy-back in order to get rid of it.

Some years back I was loading rounds for my 43 Spanish RB and slipped one into the chamber to make sure the bullet wasn't out too far [I like the bullet touching the lands]. I closed the breech and the round went off. Scared the crap out of me.
No damage, bullet went through door jamb and into hillside.
The floating firing pin has to be kept clean and lubed else it can stick - and when it sticks, Murphy makes sure it's in the out position.
Now, it's become second nature to run my finger across the block before closing it.

I once arrived at the range with my Smidt Rubin 1911 only to find I'd left the bolt at home.
Another time, the 40 Spanish rounds I wanted to shoot had no primers.
Another time my ramrod broke.
My Walker once jammed so badly it need taking apart - but not at the range.
One day, trying to shoot my RB, none of the lathe turned brass would chamber.
Had the same problem another time with lathe turned brass in my MH. The went in but wouldn't come out.
Most times I had a spare to shoot, but when the Walker jammed I didn't, and I had a short day. Driving round trip 20 miles to shoot six or so balls did not make me happy.

Nice forum you have here. I'll be in Winchester, Virgina on Friday and will be visiting Taylor's, Euroarms, and The Winchester Sutler. I will have the ability to hand pick a gun from inventory. I want a Remington, and am leaning toward a Uberti from Taylor's, but want to handle a Euroarms too. I am interested in hearing people's opinions on both guns. Which would you choose if you had one of each in front of you? And why?

Since I fired the Lyman Remington I offered to clean it. The nipples are frozen in the cylinder but that I'll leave for the owner. But, there are three little spacer washers that I'm not sure where they go (they fell out while cleaning). One seems to fit on the hammer screw but I'm not sure which side of the hammer, and maybe it doesn't matter. The other two are smaller - maybe they go on the screw that attaches the hand to the hammer, or the screw that holds the grips on. So, do all Lymans have these or were they a custom job for some reason?
I hate having parts left over.

There's a converted Walker (45 Colt) on the GunBroker. The price range is within reality. R.L. Millingtond work is very very good and he's the one that converted the gun. It should be top rate. People like Dave that like to shoot long range Walker should be interested in this one. The gun looks beautiful in the pics. It's a rare bird and probably is a good shooter. Gus in the movie "Lonesome Dove" had one.All you Texas Rangers better break the piggy banks and get into the auction.

Yesterday, at gun club #1, I fired off an original Springfield and a Lymans Remington NMA.
Today I went to gun club #2 with my Walker to shoot at the 2' round metal plate out at 100 yards. Club #2 is close enough to my house that the boom of the Walker could be heard (I tried shooting then driving home to hear it but I'm not fast enough).
The damage a Walker does at 100 yds with 45 - 50 gr of BP is impressive. I put a piece of paper on the plate to mark where I was hitting it. The roundballs put holes in the front of the paper, but then they splattered and destroyed the paper from the other side. Each hit embedded in the metal plate about a half inch before splattering out. I saved some of the pieces and will post pics of them later. Scary stuff.
Driving the mile or two home I realized that something is missing from my life. Maybe I should donate money to charity, or do community service, or go to church...
Then it hit me. I knew what was missing. I need a Remington in .36 caliber.
Anyone have one they want to part with?

I went over the deep end because of an auction with a MINT unfired Belgian up fer grabs. I actually bid up to $725 for a cap&baller just because I like Belgians and it was MINT. MINT. I'm glad I was lucky enough to loose the auction because the price went into the Twillight Zone and got actually absurd and ridiculous.

Watch out........it gets to be addictive real fast and you might find yourself in my shoes bidding on auctions and offering ridiculous high money fer something that ain't worth it. I mean.......if I won the Belgian for $725 that same money could buy me three cap&ballers from Cabelas or a nice rifle or a 2nd Generation Colt or a nice single action cartridge revolver ect.ect.ect.

I just thought since the shooting season is here for all you fair weather fellows that maybe people would get out and make some smoke moe often if they were out there with a file sightin in to hit stuff easier. You know, no Kentucky windage and aiming low because the gun shoots too high. What am I getting at? Well.....I can try to find time to set some dovetailed sights fer folks. You know after I cut the grass here in the greenest state in the Union where my grass is about a foot tall from all the rain.
I take rifle sights (cast brass or steel) and work them down to pistol size. I make the dovetailed part of the sight that is integral with the base about .246-8 inch wide and about .055 inch deep. That's not too deep and not too wide as so many of the dovetailed sights end up. I fit the dovetails perfect as a human can. They move but stay put and stay where you put them. Anyway I guess I can try to find time to do a few fer the forum members. Naturally I'd be happy with a meager donation.The sights do cost me moola. I do take a good while to shape and machine the sights to pistol size and painstakingly stive to get the perfect fit that is possible if my machinist skills with my cheapy milling machine are up to par when I do the job(try not to drink too much coffee before hand). I'll try to show a pic of a new one I put on a Uberti 1851 Navy Colt. Now I imagine the sights would work on an 1860 Army too ifin I don't don't go too deep with the dovetail and fit it perfectly. You know....1860's are round barrels and 45 size holes that don't leave much steel to work with. I've done some and ain't had any complaints so.....either the sights stayed put well or the people are afraid to come back and complain since it's been rumored I'm a crazy dirt rollin foul ass mean Sonsabitch with a temper to rivil the hellish antics of Satan himself.ha ha ha ha ha ha

Shot the Howdah pistol Thursday.
It's a 20 x 20.

Used 40 to 80 grains of fake Goex 1oz to 1/1/2 oz of birdshot. Tried some buckshot as well.

Shot at some tin coffee cans at 15 yards and the shot would only penetrate the cans with a heavy load.

Shot the buckshot at a sillouette target at 15 feet all hit within less than the size of a soccer ball.
It's a heavy gun,but not so heavy that one needs two hands.

I've been thinking about buying this gun for over a year.

The following pics taken from another site convinced me to get it.

I already posted this on The High Road trying to find out some info on this gun. I bought it last night at Kittery for $45.00. It's missing one handle screw and one nipple. It cocks and fires perfectly. I don't want to shoot it but does anyone know anything about them? It's probably Belgian. How do you load them? How do you unscrew the barrels?
Oh yeah - Kittery has the Pietta version of the 1862 Pocket Police .36 for $110.00. It's not as authentic as the Uberti but it's a great little gun. I almost grabbed it.

Although I see pics of antique revolvers on auction sites & other websites, nothing is as original as when they are seen carried in the circa of their period by a person in a photograph.
Here is one of a General with his revolver.
Most pics of Generals are w/o their sidearm, or posing with a sword at the least.

To those of you who have owned or used one of these revolvers, is this statement true?
"No other reproduction comes close to the quality of these Belgian guns."

Hey guys,

I've been away for awhile, both from this board and from BP shooting. I seek forgiveness. I'm looking for a used 1851 Navy (Pietta would be great) in 36 cal with a blued frame. Due to life and kid's sports, I have only about $150 to spend. I don't care if its scratched up a bit. Does anyone here have one they could part with? I've been to the auction sites, but I have more trust in the people on this board. I can be reached at jonhooper@yahoo.com.

Thanks,

Jon

Hey, does anybody own one of these? Are they well made?

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0006120210084a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=1858+stainless&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=1858+stainless&noImage=0

I've read that the blued models are made of questionable steel, and that the stainless ones are a little harder. Normally, stainless is softer than carbon steel, but with Italian steel it might be the opposite. The guy who ran Big Iron Barrels (I think he was arrested) said as much.

But, decided to sell as is.
I have some burgandy wool felt left fot this project, if someone wanted to fit partitions to it for their gun.

Selling as is.
