Has anyone else seen pictures of Pietta's new likely stainless 1860? They have a bird-head one also. Sweet! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=520630871452081&set=a.520630704785431.1073741863.100005155170075&type=3&theater...

Lately I am thinking on getting a replica Dragoon (Uberti). I know of 4 models: Whitneyville, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Which of these is your favorite and why? :confused: Thanks!

If anyone else watches AMC's Hell on Wheels, this week's episode - "Life's a Mystery" featured a plethora of Remington 1858s! There were a bunch of "ivory" gripped silvery ones (supposedly silver plated) - likely stainless, a couple of blued ones, and even a short barrelled one I believe. Nice...

Recently did total disassembly, degreasing, cleaning deburring, rebuilding of 2 1858s (Pietta). One is Blued and one is Stainless. Blued one seems to have great timing regarding cylinder rotation. This is what I noticed happens when you pull back the hammer. 1) With hammer against the...

So I am almost done fully taking apart my Remington to clean the factory grease off of everything and I realize I do not have the proper size screwdriver to remove the hand screw which screws into the hammer. I have Chapman CM-89, CM-90, CM-93 and SlixDriver --- none fit it :cuss:

So I am new to this, and have not yet shot any of the several cap and ball revolvers I have acquired over the last couple of years. Finally I have acquired all cleaning and maintenance supplies and tonight decided to do a complete tear down/degreasing/cleaning of my oldest revolver to get it...

Hey there - finally got all cleaning and shooting stuff together - and pretty much ready to give it a go! Wondering is there is an online source for what to do at the range (besides the rules for the individual range [Angeles Range] which are kind of vague). Specifically: What to do if...

There seem to be some differing opinions about the best ball siZe for Pietta .44 cal guns; what size do your recommend of the Hornady balls?

Bought a 1858 pietta some 5 months ago - it has been stored - I had inspected it but somehow missed a couple anomalies on the cylinder. There is a small ding on the surface of the cylinder (small pit between the chambers) that might be a drag mark from the loading lever or something), the rear...

Getting together the final stuff I need to shoot - kind of confused about all of the cleaning rods and jags' diameters and thread sized etc. Wondering if someone can tell me if this kit will work for both .36s and .44 cap and ball pistols (2 have 8" barrel lengths). Otherwise can someone...

Well I ordered a second Pietta 1851 Hickok Pietta to have a pair - about 4 months ago I bought the 1st one. Well it arrived and there are 2 cosmetic issues about it - it is a CL 2013 year mark like my first one - but 1) the recent one lacks the notch for the carbine stock my first one has, and...

I have a Pietta 1851 Hickok and I am considering to get one more ---- I don't shoot in any organized events or anything like that - but perhaps someday. Is it mostly for collector value, historical correctness or some practical reason people get 2? If I did get another obviously the serial...

Hey there - switching out backstrap and trigger guard off of a colt repro and having some problems. I have the right size screwdriver heads and all the screws are in fine shape but but i am just mangling the heck out of that mainspring screw - i just can't seem to get enough torque or...

Hey there. Can someone recommend a good rod - jag for cleaning a couple of .36 colt repros?

Hey there. Can someone please tell me what years the proofmarks CI and CL are on Italian repros. Thanks!

I want to learn some basic gunsmithing for my BP revolvers - any recommendations of books (I have a couple of colt clones)? Thanks

Interested in getting a nickel-like look on a Pietta without plating. So i read on this forum some posts about people putting piettas in the white by soaking them in vinegar for 30 mins - and that this may lighten the 'case hardening' but not entirely. How does it affect the case...

I received these urethane faux ivory grips from the Grip Maker - they are very nice looking and I am excited to fit them to my Pietta 1861. I removed the wooden grips and placed each half of the grips on the grip frame and see that I will have to do some fitting with files and sand paper, as...

I want an alternate set of ivory looking grips for 1861 Pietta navy - not sure which company make them that fit this pistol - Does anyone have any experience with this or know what size fits this pistol?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a holster? I prefer the 1 piece loop style holsters but can't seem to find any for 8" barrel Thanks
