    Case Mouth Uniformer

    Where can I find a real one? I do NOT want all this 30 degree or whatever chamferring crap that Google will ONLY lead me to. I just want to be able to make the case mouth round again. The AGI video I watched talked about one that would have different inserts for different calibers, and I...

    Recoil shield mishap

    I just thought I'd let folks know that I had a failure yesterday with an R & D conversion kit. The recoil shield cracked off at the firing pin and that part came flying out. This was a 51 with the kit properly installed. I have had it quite awhile. This would be somewhere around the 200th...

    Suggest .308 bullet mold please!

    I have been looking around for 7.62x51 or suitable .308 bullet molds. I can't seem to find anything suitable. Of the 308 molds, all seem to have a flat or round nose. No 7.62x51 molds to be found anywhere. I am looking for something a little more ballistic friendly. I have found nose...

    Barrel Work

    Does anyone have any numbers or links to where I could get one of my 36 barrels resleeved to 38 special? I used an R&D converter with a gate in my 51. I realize that the 38 rounds sort of slap their way down the barrel. This isn't real good for consistent shooting. I know that R&D used...

    Parts getting harder to find?

    Is anyone else experiencing this? I was looking around for a bolt for my ASM 2nd Dragoon. Almost every place these days seems to have some generic bolts, or only Uberti or Pietta parts. I found one of these generic bolts at buffaloarms for 45.00 $ (???) I ordered a pair from VTI...

    Does anyone have any Uberti barrels?

    I am looking for an 1861 barrel that is 5 1/2 in (roughly) or one I can saw off. The last site it seems that is still selling parts, seems to be VTI with the same supplying places like midway as the prices are the same. Those things have doubled in price since the last time I looked and...

    Conversion Cylinder Problems

    I have two Uberti 1858 models. One is a carbine, the other a millenium pistol. The cylinder fits and works well in the carbine, but not in the pistol. Its an R&D conversion drop in. When it is placed in the revolver, it will not cycle. Seems to be really tight. Its bad enough that if I...

    Got a source for sight blades?

    I need some taller front sight blades for my Dragoons and one of my remingtons. Anyone know where to find them? Or am I going to have to make my own?

    Question about this gun.

    Is this gun already configured to accept a cartridge cylinder? Its a bp gun as you can see in the second picture, but has a loading gate as you can see in the first. Sure I understand that the loading gate is there to install caps. But it seems like all that is required is getting a...

    Cowboy Gun Question

    I don't mean to be too far off topic, but I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with Lightning Pump Rifle clones. Do they hold together well? Do they jam frequently? In other words are they worth a darn? thanks, Scott

    Resizing

    Does anyone know if a cylinder designed for 45 S&W like the ones made for Uberti's Cimarron RM Conversion guns can be satisfactorily and safely reamed to accept 45 Colt?

    This is a good discussion site.

    I really appreciate this place. You folks all seem nice, eager to share what you know, and are very informed people. Thanks for being here. I had been looking and messaging at gunbroker for awhile, and there are some nasty folk that make things negative for a lot of people. This place is a...

    Cylinder Base Pin Maintenance

    I just picked up an Uberti 1860 model. The guy said the base pin was a "little" loose. It turns out to be a rattle gun. I do have a couple of cylinder base pin retaining pins which are the same as the barrel pins from VTI. It "looks like" the pin goes in from hammer side to stabilize the...

    Colt Clone Base pins

    Can any one steer me to a link that can instruct me on how to replace the base pin properly on a Uberti 1860, or the 51/61s for that matter? Or can anyone tell me how to do it and provide any pictures? Thanks
