    What's the deal with Taurus Gaucho?

    Hello THR, I'm about to start Cowboy Action Shooting, at this point only as a fun hobby, not planning to win any competitions any time soon. I've been offered a pair of used Taurus Gauchos for 600 euros, which is a very good price for two cowboy revolvers in this part of the world. So the...

    The right way to replace the cylinder of an SAA?

    I own several revolvers, but I'm a total newbie with Single Action Armys. Yesterday I got my first one, a brand-new Uberti Cattleman Flattop in .45 Colt, 7½" barrel. When checking and cleaning the gun, I run into a problem in how to replace the cylinder. The instruction manual that came with...

    Changing the front sight of a '58 Navy

    Dear friends, I need advice for changing the front sight of my .36 caliber Remmie '58 Navy replica. On top of the barrel it says "NAVY ARMS CO RIDGEFIELD N.J.-ITALY". Below the loading lever, there's Uberti's logo and number 83. So I guess it's made by Uberti in 1983. Here's a pic of the gun...

    Using lead remover cloth for bore cleaning

    Is it safe to use patches of lead remover cloth for cleaning the bore of a stainless-steel handgun? Instructions on the package of Ez-Brite "Wondercloth" recommend it for this task. I have used it after shooting lead bullets and cleaning the bore first with solvent and a bronze brush. EzBrite...

    Is the crane easily damaged?

    Is the cylinder crane easily damaged by rough or even normal handling? The reason I'm asking is this. I bought my first wheelgun a few months ago, and made my decision according advice given in the article "How To Buy A Used Handgun" (in Guns & Ammo 2000 Annual) by Rober T. Shimek. He pays...

    Quality of the King Cobra?

    Greetings to all Highroaders from Finland! I have recently bought my first revolver, a Colt King Cobra, 6" stainless, apparently shot very little, good timing, some minor external scratches. I considered the price fairly good -- 350 euros, which at the time of the purchase was roughly equal...
