If you can find an good welder with a TIG, they can put a new tooth on that ratchet easily. No offense to anyone, but there are sources that refer specifically to the Starr Army and Navy Models, and the DA and SA models. Thus the Starr Model 1863 Single Action Army Model in .44 cal percussion...

Like many folks, I too got one "cheap" because they were "differrent". Also, I wanted a cheap "Model P" platform to learn internals tuning. I found , like everybody else, they are a pain to load LOL, but if one matches the cylinder throat to the bore, they can be remarkably accurate. I also...

Greetings Gents I have the same IAB Sharps 1863 paper-cutter in the business rifle form. I have had similar results as you folk, and generally make my own paper from newsprint soaked in a stump remover solution. The Christmas Tree bullets are the trick for these things as the bore seems a tish...

Very few fur traders were so romantic, nor did they have "free time" after dark for such trifles, as they had gear to mend, spare mocassins to make (the average trapper wore out several pair of soft-sole mocs a week) food prep, running lead, patching clothes & making more... they did not have...

thanks for the photo, glad you are ok! from the fracture pattern, uniform all around, I would opine that the thing may have been overtorqued .... yhs shunka

My Good Jason. to answer your question, I can relate that several acquantences have that very snubby. by loading the chambers as full as they could with triple 7 and using a 200-225 gr conical lead bullet, they consistantly achieved slightly over 700 fps without modifying the chambers. hope...

not exactly perhaps this pressure vs time chart (altho in a 12 ga ) might help? yhs shunka

Greetings My Dear Netizens if you want a laugh, check out this scam artist from missouri. he's had it up in various forms for well over 8 months. http://www.armslist.com/posts/7870459/springfield-missouri-rifles-for-sale--remington-and-sons-1858--rifle--new-model---44-ball-cap--make-offer-...

If you are looking at a new one, the Uberti's are very well made. Personally I preferr the 3rd Model Dragoon for the improvements that were made. If you are looking at used guns, watch out. Some ASM's were great ( my two are good ) and some had quality issues. One fellow had an old ASM...

This is a dead stock Pietta model 1873 revolver, except that it has been fitted with a special percussion cylinder. These were made by Pietta specifically for the Cowboy fans in the UK and EU markets that exempted ( or othrwise allowed) percussion revovlers. As our good Fingers pointed out, (...

without verifiable documentation and proven provenance one can only assume it is fake. to do otherwise is wishful thinking and sheer folly. but it's a free country, you can believe whatever you like, ( doesn't make it true, tho) I myself believe in IBM's Magic Server Pixie Dust

here is an example of what it started out looking like prior to getting cut down: https://www.collectorebooks.com/gregg01/usantique/Lot-33.htm hope this helps shunka

My Dear Cooldill - In the last 15 years I have been diligently searching books and web, especially the big name auction houses, and the only documented factory offering of a short Remington is the Remington New Model Police .36 . The available barrel lengths were 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 inch, the...

Here ya go Rodwha, a test firing from *just the cylinder* was documented here, by Old Scout in 2003: http://www.brimstonepistoleros.com/articles/capping.html yhs shunka

here is an example of a "bubba welded on" barrel. sometimes one can grind & file and recut the dovetail... sometimes not. this one is in my scrap heap junk box chest of precious parts, waiting to be cut down .... perhaps into a Capt Schaeffer's Colt ... yhs shunka

Addendum: for your educational pleasure here is another excellent step-by-step Howto by Omnivore http://1858remington.com/discuss/index.php/topic,10160.0.html yhs shunka

Greetings My Good Rodwha one can set up the barrel in a good vice (with lead or copper or hardwood pads), using a level, and then use a jig ( even home-made) to ensure that the file cuts are even and level. After enough practice it is not difficult to do free-hand. Then using a "safe-file" ( ie...

One can find a plethora of Front sight options, including brass and steel, at one of my favorite vendors, TOTW https://www.trackofthewolf.com/List/Item.aspx/874/1?PageSize=100 I myself like to keep a half-dozen of these little gems on hand for whatever needs a new front blade...

>>One question though - I wear glasses (I'm short-sighted) - so I can't really wear a protective glasses over them. >>Is that ok? If some tiny piece of lead somehow hits the glass of my glasses can it damage it? you can get some that go over prescription glasses like this...
