I couldn't be happier with my recently purchased Pietta 1851 Navy .36 cal. Fit and finish are great- The timing on it is spot on perfect. I'm saving up for a set of Buffalo Bros Hickok grips for it! John

Sorry that I'm late getting back to this thread. The extra $20 off was good through Dec 23rd. John

Cabela's has their Pietta 1860, with the extra cylinder, on-sale for $229.99. Plus, they have an on-line discount code for an extra $20 off. Just a heads up, John

Ditto on the cig papers. Been using them for years, and super easy to find. I used to get the same looks from the clerk behind the counter too- Thinking Im gonna use them for wacky weed. I finally took a box of my completed paper cartridges in with me one day to show them what I was...

Thats were I just picked up my steel 1851 for $200, free shipping. John

This came in todays mail- My first gun purchase in over 3 years! It's a Pietta 1851 Navy in .36 cal. Of all the black powder guns I've owned, this is my very 1st 1851. John

I'm currently without an 1860, but I did own three at one time not so long ago. Lost them in the midst of my divorce preceedings. So I guess I'm more of an alumni. When I'm finished with alimony in a couple months, You can bet I will be getting a few back. In the meantime- Here are some pics...

When Goering surrendered to Allied troops, He turned over his Smith & Wesson .38 revolver. John

Yup- Reproduction....

Was not impressed either. In the episode with the Civil War reenactors, They bought a bunch of black powder guns for 5K. If that is how much they are buying them for, Im gonna sell them mine and go buy new ones- And make a heck of a profit!!

I can't believe they let her ramble on after her two minutes were up........

They are producing ammo everyday, 24/7. They are NOT making Bulgarian Makarovs anymore...... John P.S. I picked up (3) boxes of Tulammo at WalMart today for $5.17 per 20rd box. They had 15+ boxes on the shelf- I'll keep pecking at it until its sold out :)

- You start collecting aluminum cans just to fund ammo purchases. - The baby sitter wants to be paid in 'bullets per hour' instead of dollars per hour. - You have to take out additional homeowners insurance to cover your ammo stash. - .22 shorts are even sold out at the LGS. - The local TV...

That was a score! Very nice looking rifle! I love my rifles in original military configuration, But I'm really starting to appreciate the well done post war sporters too.

I remember watching that episode too, but I can't remember the name of the program. It is on the same channel as Doomsday Preppers. I was interested in the knife too, but didn't catch it's name. The guy was using it as an axe, pulling nails out with it, etc..... Looked like a very useful...

'Last Man Standing' with Bruce Willis is the best 1911 movie of all time! John

Here are pics of my old 645 to compare it to. I don't know about the problem you are having, but I agree that you should have a gunsmith check it out. I sold my 645 about a year ago and have been kicking myself since. It was built like a tank- I could cycle empty shell casings through that...

Here is my 1984 Bulgarian, with plenty of wear. I adore this pistol and will never sell it.

I have an LC9 with the Laserlyte mounted on the side. I have a few holsters hanging around here, but had a problem with the laser turning on when my pistol was inserted in any of my holsters. I have a DeSantis Pocket Tuk intended for my Bulgy Makarov that actually fit my LC9 better. I ended...

You sure turned that rifle into a beauty! I agree with Betty in that I really enjoy unmodified military weapons mostly for their historical connection. But I also realize that what happened to these captured weapons after they served during wartime is as much a part of their history too...
