Thanks for the comments folks!
Prairie Dawg – thanks for posting that link. The code on my 1860 is BH – 1996, as I suspected!
I was thinking the QC issues had to do with the gun “shooting loose”. I guess I was thinking about the brass frames. I am new to BP, but have been...
A couple years ago I mentioned to my (83 year old) dad that I wanted to get into BP revolvers. Just the other day he asked what I was looking to get and I told him I'd really like an 1860 Army. He went to one of his safes and came back with this unfired Pietta 1860 Army "Lawman (fake ivory grips...

Another fan of the old Remington 51x series. Here are my two 510s, 511, and 512. Fantastic rifles.

9mm fan, I love the framed Texas flag! I have an identical flag that is a memento of the time (1963-1969) i lived in Amarillo. I've been thinking lately of how best to display it, now I know! Thank you!
Books, schmooks. I just ask Katitmail what he does.

And seriously, I'm glad Katitmail is 250 miles away from me. I'd sure hate to find myself on the same range as he.
As an electrician, I occasionally take (legally gotten) scrap copper to a local metal recycler. After striking out at all the local tire shops, I asked the recycle guy about lead - he said he'd sell me all I wanted for the same price he pays - currently (last time I was there) $1.00/lb. Copper...
Great score! A few years ago a bowling alley near me went out of business. I heard the lanes were all sitting outside in pieces, free for the taking. Unfortunately, I heard this about a week too late. By the time I got there, there wasn't much left except some scraps that would have been more...
I, for one, did not wait for my elected representatives to consult with me regarding my opinion. I called, and e-mailed, and sent paper, letting them know exactly where I stand.
I am happy that they received my messages.
I really like the Williams on my Marlin 444. Easily adjustable and didn't need to change the front sight. I thought about a tang sight, but they look rather fragile in comparison. Especially in brush, and less to snag on. 100 yards no problem.
