I have since put an 1860 barrel on the .44 '51 Colt. I want to get a 3" and a 12" barrel for it as well as a stock for use with the 12" barrel.

Are barrels for them available at a good price? It would be handy to have other options.Some of my gun porn.

Yes the 1861 is Navy Caliber and if I'm not mistaken has some upgrade on the loading lever?

Looks like dueling pistols.

The 1861 has the same 'creeping' loading lever that the 1860 does. Which is an improvement over the loading lever on an 1851.
1851 in .36 calibre
1860 in .44 cal. Note the rebated cylinder. that was so they could use the same size frame as the 1851. So that the pistol would still be just as handy to use.
1861 in .36
Oh and to Michigan Mike I used a patched ball, but you could use an over powder wad and an over ball wad like you would in a muzzle loading shotgun.

Is there any advantage getting the .36 vs the .44 in the 1860. I have the 1851 .44 and love it wxcept for the caps getting into the action.The 1861 has the same 'creeping' loading lever that the 1860 does. Which is an improvement over the loading lever on an 1851.

Well the .36 uses less powder and less lead so it is cheaper to fire, but the .44 hits harder.

If my father gives me his High Standard .36 I might get into that caliber. I would be buying a Lee double cavity mold if that happens.
