    1858 Shoulder Stock Poland

    Agreed, but the OP's shoulder stocks fit only the 1873 SAA and the 1858 Remington (good luck finding ones with the backstrap butt aperture for the J-hook), per the Polish website. The yoke fits very close to the backstrap so it won't fit most other revolvers. The one Cimarron used to carry will...

    1858 Shoulder Stock Poland

    Cimarron used to. Maybe give them a call. https://www.cimarron-firearms.com/products/revolvers.html

    dear santy claus... pretty please get me this engraved Jeff Davis 1851

    I am so glad that I don't want a Paterson. RIA always draws folks with a lot of money. I will troll the various auction sites for other revolvers that escape many guns that most folks do not have a clue about. That is where one can find treasures that most folks have not a clue insofar as the...

    Light loads, revolver

    It would depend upon the caliber and ball/bullet weight. I have a North American Arms Super Companion .22 C&B revolver with a cylinder/chamber length of their .22 Magnum cartridge revolver; barrel length is 1-5/8" for size comparison (it is a very small revolver). The pistol came cased with a 5...

    dear santy claus... pretty please get me this engraved Jeff Davis 1851

    I have recently seen two of these cased sets and one shoulder stock (without the revolver, case, and accoutrements). Are folks digging into their safes and selling stuff off due to the pandemic increased prices? Regards, Jim

    dear santy claus... pretty please get me this engraved Jeff Davis 1851

    Remind me to get my Uberti Whitneyville Hartford Dragoon engraved when my rich Uncle dies. Oops! they all died over a decade ago. I guess I am SOL. :( Regards, Jim

    1860 grip on a 1851 frame?

    The folks that state that the Uberti and Pietta parts do not interchange well are correct. I like shoulder stocks and the shoulder stock I have fits an ASM 1860 Army .44. I have a Pietta 1851 Navy that I wanted to fit it to, but the 1851 Navy gripframe is about 1/4" shorter than the 1860 Army...

    58' Remington Target Buffalo NOS

    I am leaning more toward the "H" sided spring as I really don't want to make the trigger guard side of the frame to look like a Remington. That would be the last resort, to me. I am still digesting what you said about the belly and back of the spring. I am in no hurry and plan to think it out. I...

    58' Remington Target Buffalo NOS

    I have a Navy Arms/Pietta Spiller & Burr (BL/1998) that has an atrociously stiff mainspring that takes nearly two thumbs to cock it. I am toying with buying a replacement Pietta S&B spring and lightening the spring in a shallow "H" shape lengthwise. I have also been told that I can drill and...

    dear santy claus... pretty please get me this engraved Jeff Davis 1851

    About 18 months ago, a similar stock (without the revolver) was offered and sold on GB. Yeah, cheap enough at the moment. Still 6 days left until the feeding frenzy begins. Insofar as being an exact duplicate, hardly, but close. The fact that it is cased with accoutrements will add a...

    Maker of Griswold and Gunnison repro?

    XXII is 1966 as the manufacture date. Since it has both Italian proof marks and the date code it was marketed as an assembled revolver from the factory and is not a kit gun. In the 60's there were still many small Italian manufacturers that had not been driven out of business by the likes of...

    Black Powder Pistols in the News

    The folks that want to completely ban firearms, such as Carlson's "guest", will stop at nothing to convolute the conversation with such references to .50 caliber (supposedly BMG) suppressed firearms using possibly muzzleloaders. It reminds me of the California Senator/Congressman/woman talking...

    Loose Cylinder on an Uberti '51 Navy

    Is it a brass framed revolver? Photos are very much appreciated, especially concerning the rear of the recoil shield if it is a brasser. Your description is a classic case of too hot of loads when using a brasser where the rear cylinder ratchet is repeatedly imprinted into the recoil shield...

    Finally did something I wanted to for twenty years

    She's probably doing you a favor. The heat from that fireplace insert is probably drying out the rifle's stock. ;)

    Black Powder Pistols in the News

    They are already protected by and addressed by the NFA 1934 and the GCA 1968.

    Black Powder shotshells for home defense

    And the prosecution would claim just the opposite.

    Walker or Dragoon?

    Fitting and finding a basically non-existent Dragoon shoulder stock to the Walker grip frame would be the hard part.

    Walker or Dragoon?

    Good luck with that. I have never seen a Walker that had the recoil shields cut-for-stock, nor that had an aperture cut in the butt of the backstrap for the shoulder stock J-hook. Colt did not market his Type 3 shoulder stock until 1859-1860, and those were only for the 1851-1861 Navy, the 1860...

    Walker or Dragoon?

    If you cannot decide between a Walker and a Dragoon, I found this to be my compromise. Uberti Whitneyville Hartford Dragoon. It has the same rear frame/gripframe design, oval stop slots, and V-mainspring as the Walker, but the shorter cylinder/barrel (7.5") of the Dragoon. It also has the...
