Yellow forum Very comprehensive classifieds and the members are vetted to a degree. The likelyhood of being scammed is reduced. AA classifieds is rife with rifraff. You will have to join the yellow to post, but that is where your buyers are...

The kit came yesterday; fast shipping and service from Hinterland Outfitters, thankyou, Nice piece of wood and everything seems to line up ok. I'll look at it harder over the weekend and take a pic or two for anyone interested. Despite the negatives mentioned, this seems like a cool way to...

A fitted arbor.... Sure makes the wedge lock up nicely, dosen't it? I can understand why Uberti leaves them short; each gun is probly a little different and it would take too much handwork to fit. Seems like they could make and adjuster of sorts threaded into the end of the arbor. Maybe they...

Well, I guess it shipped, so I will give it a good look when it arrives and let this post know what for, lol, tk

I'm certainly no x-spurt, but seems to me you still would have a 3 legged stool with a short leg. There are more elegant solutions, but I fixed my 1851, bought from a fine member here, by gluing two #6 brass washers on the end of the arbor then dressing down to perfect length. One could also...

Yep, Investarms, another company in the Italian blackpowder valley of no return, lol, tk

Hmm, read a build thread on another forum from 2011; the stock was pretty screwed up, inletting and warpwise and Lyman was a pain to deal with. just wondering, and a moot point as I have already pulled the trigger. I am versatile so can probably deal with most issues the kit presents. Thanks, tk

Take a good look at the CZ 455 fs, and you would never even ask this question, tk

Agree with ZVP; I just bought the Pietta police from my neighbor. What a nice sized piece. just right, tk

Good question; I must rely here on TOW expertise. It may be a little bit before testing real time. They were emphatic on the phone regarding nipple correctness... We will see, tk

Well, the tap came from China in record time. I chased the threads in the Pietta cylinder, and more was cut than I guessed would be.... Bottom line is the TOW nipples now thread in correctly. I don't know what thread this 15-18 yr old Pietta had, but it was definitely NOT M6x.75 unless they were...

Home Depot George; my stepmom lives on Merritt Island, and I visit her regularly from California. PM please? I do both, new and used. There are good deals to be had on both sides of this fence. Also, sometimes a particular thing calls your heart and it is not available in one market or the...

yep, thanks. I read alot over there. been going to BP school the last couple weeks. tk

tap ordered......waiting, waiting, tk
