Hang fire, Pedersoli do it http://shop.davide-pedersoli.com/accessorio-scheda.asp/idpr_420/idt_6/pallottieri-professionali-blocco-1-cavit--palla-per-cartuccia-di-carta.html both caliber .451 and .547. rusty

I have a navy Richard mason conversion cal .38 special, buyed here in italy, ordered from Uberti, it's arrived at hte shop with "Cimarron" stamped on the barrel and no one Uberti marks, now i am sure that "cimarron" gets from Uberty factory and sells to you as it is :) ciao Rusty

Gary, i don't think Uberti outlaw is only for black powder cartridge, i have one in 44/40 and i reload my round with smokeless, black powder in this revolver is good but not the only "fuel" you can load! Look the marks if you find a "PSF" mark go quite with smokeless too:) Rusty

My caplock Hawken .54 Pedersoli:)

A "normal" Pedersoli tryon, that i use for match, with 1:48 twist, with a .445 round ball, a 0,01 patch, and 37 grains of FFFg, can make a single hole of 1" at 50mt with 10 shot, with the rifle on the rest, offhands depends only from you:) This make it a good match rifle, not intended for hunt...

For a rifle a 500 grains flat base, for a carbine a 405 grains, good the lee HB. Lubed with "Lyman black powder gold" or a home made recipe grease of the same consistancy, a soft lube with hot weather can contaminate the powder charge. A cardboard wad over the powder is good. With a drop tube...

That's mine H&R carbine dated 1973, 100 years past the original born :) [/IMG] Here in the field [/IMG] ciao Rusty

A my friend ordered a Uberti .45colt winchester '73, here, in Italy. It's arrived with the barrel marked "Cimarron":) So i have understand some things, the mark is impressed directly from uberti, and the general quality is the same of all the other Uberti products, He payed the normal price...

[/IMG] Bad reloader are always at work:( Good notice is the guy that stripped this garand is still alive. Proof house can't prevent accident like this. Many people here try to understand from italian proof house how they test black powder arms, but nobody get a explicative answer, my be...

It's hard to say after 30 years what really mr Bondini really makes, i think at the time nobody knows really if it makes it's own arms or resell other "shadow" manufacturer, or a mix of both, for sure he buyed the all the barrel and may be the lock from Gardone Val trompia area! Back in the '70...

Are you sure that Uberti makes Trapdoor?? The only trapdoo replica i know is Pedersoli and Harrington & Richardson, Pedersoli sights is quite correct, the H&R (no more produced) have a dovetail front sight blade and a modern style Lyman rear sight. This is my H&R carbine with a...

Articap, i like you show my town:) I live acually in a small village 8Km from Cesena:) The oldest men in my shooting club remember the Bondini Pistol, there is one Lepage pistol in the club safe with stock in olive wood very fancy, but was made by Armisport-chiappa and only named by...

http://www.davide-pedersoli.com/?item=Distributors&lang=en In this page you find all the UK inport and distibution, i think if you mail or call them you got an help. For left hand holster you can find priced item form cabela's or something better from buffalo arms, both in US, but they sell...

No no, absolutely no, i talk about the shell, not the rifle muzzle, a 45/70 shell can be reloaded by hand if you use it with black powder in a single shot rifle like trapdoor or sharp, i have seen people win a match with a hand reloading. The only breech loading rifle you can reload safe from...

I made a glass bed under the tang in all my .58 musket, and a paper bed under the barrel band, everthings must be lock and don't shatter for good accuracy, but sometimes this way doesn't work for some "costruction bug" in the rifle, and the only way is to sell it to someone that need for wall...
