1858

So I received a great suprise early bday gift from my dad who lives out of state since he knows I'm into Civil War memorabilia, etc. I now have a Uberti 1858 44 caliber in Stainless (8"bbl) I've had experience with lots of cartridge guns and shotguns but this is a different beast. In my cart...

Well, after destroying 1 nipple wrench, 1 knuckle, and my ego, I come to y'all again to ask for help. I have an old EuroArms (A.S.P.) New Model Army that I was hoping to get out to the range soon, but in checking it over, and trying to get the nipples off, I ran into removal issues with 2/6 of...

I’ve been giving my Pietta New Army a good work over and am trying to figure a way to keep the hammer from striking the nipples. On my Pietta 1860 Army and my Ruger Old Army I don’t get the mushrooming nipples like I do on my New Army. It appears that on both the Ruger and the 1860 the hammer...

I recently purchased the last Uberti 1858 NMA with 8” barrel that could be found In Stock through Dixie. Their search function didn’t bring it up. I had to scroll the entire catalogue to find the item hiding miraculously In Stock for $395. Some days it’s actually good to be me for a change...

I Paid $240 for it shipped this is my first BP gun. Every single person who owns one absolutly loves theirs I'm only 5'4'' so knowing that it was made after the Beals-Rem. I suspect it'll fit me perfect. My 2nd cousin is FFL gunsmith getting Uberti parts to fit shouldn't be too much of a hassle...

Hi all. This is my first post, and it's about...well, the title gun lol. I have the sheriff's model, and it's a recent buy, I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. I measured the bore and the chambers with my digital calipers and came out to a range between .43 and change to .445. Keep in mind...

Hi Guys, I got so much from this forum in the past so I am glad to finally give back. I just want to share a solution for a problem to address the cylinder pin lock on an 1858 Remington in case that the loading lever is removed (not used) anymore. I can imagine 3 major cases for that: - to...

I'm new to black powder so forgive me if I ask a stupid question, but I am curious what I would get if I remove some lead from the front of the ball and make it into a hollow point? Would it aid expansion upon impacr? What about in the barrel, would it expand and engage the rifling more? What...

I posted this vid here about 7 years ago and had mostly positive comments except for my handling of capped cylinders outside of the gun.:what: Many people asked how I was able to keep exchanging cylinders because anybody that owns one probably had cylinder jam problems.here is my answer to...

Hi All, Just signed up to this forum because I like the informative responses and general tone of the conversations I've read so far. I have a question related to a new Pietta replica of the 1858 Remington. Specifically, I'd like to know what the correct procedure is to lower the hammer into...

I'm looking to get a holster for a '58 Pietta and I've concluded I don't want a slim jim holster or a flap holster. That's brought me to asking about a Triple K holster that has a strap that retains the gun. Is this the only option available to me?

I'd like to know if anyone here knows if CCI shotshells can be used in cap and ball conversions? I'd specifically like to know if they can be used in '58 Remington's, but really want to know if they can be used in any conversions. I'm a new forum member here and this is my first post. I've...
