Pietta 1858 NMA shoulder stock

[Pocomoke]

For some time now I've wanted the shoulder stock for my Pietta NMA that they featured in their Italian catalogue. EMF just got some in at introductory price of $139.

Will post some pictures when it comes in.

That ought to be pretty neat.
The stocks for the Colt Navy/Army are very well finished. Be sure to tell us how it shoots.

I noticed that EMF has taken the word "Colt" out of all their blurbs. Instead of the "Colt Model", they now say "Model". Some companies have stopped using .45 Colt as a caliber
The Colt Manufacturing Company has really gotten agressive about their RIGHTS. Some companies have stopped using .45 Colt as a caliber designation. Interesting since the Colt family hasn't had a thing to do with the company since 1902

Pocomoke:

When you shoot that shoulder-stocked revolver be sure that you hold it so that the left (supporting) hand is behind the cylinder. Back in the 19th century folks were aware that not doing this could result in the loss of a hand if the gun chain-fired. A lesser danger is powder burns.

Do be careful ...

Some of the Colt revolving long guns earned the name " Colonel Colt's Revolving Wheel of Misfortune."

mec & Old Fuff,

Thanks for the reminder! I'm guessing weak side hand under strong side for support would be the best grip, tucking the elbow tight to the ribs.

Won't get the chance to shoot it any time soon though, as I'm packing up the house for a long distance move. Just grabbed it because I had been thinking about one for a long time and couldn't find one.

More of a project piece...want to make a nice period looking presentation/travel case for a brace of NMA's

Cross your arms....

If you are right handed, the trigger guard should be in the crook of your left elbow. Wear a long sleeved shirt or a jacket. Cylinder gap flash stings like a mother. Plus the unburnt powder tattoos you. Then you have to dig it out. And that stings too.

How did the stock work out for you?

I like SBR/handguns with stocks and think this may be a nice cheap way to add another one to the collection.

Oh no!! That thing won't chainfire. Don't bother with that ol' wad over the powder deal. Just folks trying to make money off of you!.And Crisco?! Oh no no no my man. You don't want to use any of that messy stuff. Why, that ol' Crisco get's all over your glasses and your hands and melt's and runs all into the revolver and all...Hell, just poke the balls into them chambers and cut loose. If they fit they fit and if they don't fit they don't fit....(!)

We're talking to the past, here, folks.

Yes it does...and raises a large red welt all around that area too!!!!! Been there done that over 35 years ago...didn't dig the grains out of my wrist though...showed it to my doctor and he said to just let nature take it's course and heal. Yeah...took many months for my body to push those tiny black grains/dissolve them out and let my skin heal!!!!!
