John Zimmerman did the case hardening as well as the grips.

Thanks, I wish I loved the 1858 the way I do the 1860 Colt. I have one out for similar treatment right now...Lord love a duck, she's a beauty!
I have (2) different woods on the grips that came with my Uberti so I started looking at replacing them. Found a lot of options but one was particularly interesting, casting my own. I bought a trial kit from Smooth-On . Comes with silicone to make the mold , sealer and release sprays and polyurethane to make the parts. Here are some pics of my first effort, took about 2 hrs of my time including some fitting work post-casting but turned out not too bad.

Possibly, I can measure them and let you know what they are. If they are a fit I may take you up un that offer. Thanks.Hey those cylinder locking latch notches on your shooters model look about the same as the ones on the fluted cylinder although from a picture I can't be sure. Do you think the one I have may be a fit?
Stumbled on to another Shooters Model Pietta. Damn things just follow me home...
You wanna hear something strange? I couldn't really see it. I saw there was a flash, but when I reviewed the video at home, I was shocked. I wanted to get a good muzzle flash pic, but I had no idea it was going to look like that. I wish I'd been a little further from the iPad to catch it all. I'll betcha lots of other firearms -- like short-barreled AKs, snubby .357s, etc. -- create a flash that would be surprising to see!WOW! That's ..... an IMPRESSIVE muzzle flash!
I have a pietra 1851Confederate and a 1858 Remington also pietra and I have a Colt 2nd generation 1851 Navy with all matching serial numbers can I join your 1858 club because honestly its my favorite I had a tradition 1858 Remington target in stainless it was a joke the adjustable sights couldnt be adjusted low enough to make it accurate so I sold it lost some money and moved on my pietra 1858 with fixed sights is accurate and very reliable ive left it loaded for 6 months and it fired every round first tryWell, if it's good enough for the ROA and Walker guys......
Much as I admire Colt's open frame revolvers (I have two!) let's have a little fun and stand up for Eliphalet Remington & Sons product. As with the other 'clubs' the only entry requirement is that you own a '58 Remmie and that you post a picture! I'll start: here's mine, it's a Euroarms copy made in 1974.

The bronze one is a newcomer,
Those brass or bronze frame Remingtons sure are purdy, and it's unlikely that standard loads will cause the one-piece frame to stretch.
I dont think anyone makes bronze frames anymore. All of the current production ones are brass arent they?
