I have a uberti cattleman and want to put those colt rubber/plastic single action army grips on it. Has anyone tried this? Im not sure which generation of grips to buy to fit to the uberti. I assume i should find 1st gen colt grips because the uberti is supposed to be a copy of the 1st gen colt...
ive heard people saying that they get shards of flint in their faces or powder burns and ive heard others say that the only thing they shoot is right handed flints shooting left handed and they have never had a problem so i just cant seem to find a good answer
Gary have you had any problems of...
anybody a lefty that shoots flintlocks?
i want to get into flintlocks
specifically rifles because pistols are far enough away from your face
just worried about my face being so close to the flash
the right handed ones are easier to find and can be had for cheaper
i am not looking right now...
the walkers italian markings are on the barrel underneath the loading lever so removing those might not be necessary because you wont see them unless you are really looking for them.
just a thought
I am not an at home gunsmith by any means but am willing to learn
I think I will call cabelas and see if they want to replace the pistol for me
If they don't then I think I will try both a lighter spring and get the bolt to drop earlier
How does one get the bolt to drop earlier?
ok i took some pictures and checked the distance that the hammer travels back past where it is at full cock hammer locked and cylinder locked
hammer at full cock
hammer pulled back past full cock its hard to tell but there is a little less than 1/4 inch travel
then some pics of the cylinder
I think that I can move the hammer back slightly after it has been fully cocked if that is what you mean I'm at work now so I will check that and take pics tonight
i have a set of calipers and checked the sizes so im sure the bolt is a hair smaller than the cylinder notch
there is only wear on the lead in not on the flat side of the notch
i will take some pictures tomorrow
didnt work
so i loosened the screw a full rotation and there wasnt enough tension left on it to push the bolt up
so i tried it at a half rotation and it pushed up the bolt but there was alot of right/left cylinder play waaaaay too much
so i tried 1/4 rotation and same problem
it seems with...
i recently picked up a pietta 1860 on sale at cabelas
the revolver locks up just fine but i think the bolt is coming up too soon while cocking
the bolt is sized correctly i checked but on the lead in on the cylinder groove is starting to peen a little bit just on the edge of the groove at...
ya in missouri you can use any muzzleloading firearm for gun and muzzleloading seasons
i think i might just start looking at getting a bp rifle for hunting
Shot my first deer this year during gun season and bp season is coming up and i have no bp rifles so was thinking of taking my walker or 1860 out and hunting with that. Any thoughts or ideas? What have you guys used and what have you taken with bp pistols?
I've been wanting one of these for years so i ordered myself one
But I'm freaking deployed right now and wont be home to shoot it for another 2 months my wife is gonna have to sign for it and show it to me on skype
good deal though
I remember a few years ago there was some idiot reenactor who loaded his revolver with lead for a battle thinking that for some reason the lead bullets didnt kill people anymore and killed an 80 year old veteran
