I just got an email from Midway saying that they have a sale on conversion cylinders for Pietta and Ruger Old Armies.

Might have to pick up a blued one myself.

I was thinking of buying a stainless steel for my ROA but I decided to buy deanodog's TC Buckeye carbine.

Gentlemen,

If you're ridin the fence - I'd say come on down and buy it. I got mine from Midway a couple weeks ago, for my 1858 Pietta Remington, and have had so much fun shooting it. I have gone thru a couple hundered rounds, not a single complaint.
I am thinking of hawking off a couple of the kids so I can buy more ammo ;-)
Seriously, if you can afford it - buy it.

Good day all.

Buffalo Arms always has them for less:

$259!!! That's more than I paid for the ROA, stainless, unfired in the box!
Just can't justify it - I'm allergic to paying full retail price.

[Voodoochile]

The problem with Buffalo Arms is that they only offer the Remington 1858 cylinders in .44 colt.

Not easy to find sufficient heal base or hollow based ammo nor a mould for it.

Since I only have the ROA, I'm a little more prone to point out the accessories that match it :).

Anybody got a discount code they can share? I'm thinking of ordering.
