Thanks for the pictures jaxenro,.... looking at that engraved Remington makes my heart skip a beat. :) I take it, it was originally blued instead of being "plated"???? I think it's an excellent example of how a pistol can be beautiful without being gawdy.

Ruger's "billboard" doesn't bother me in the least. :) ....., and as for your earlier question pertaining to a hypothetical Italian made replica of Ruger's Old army "without the billboard",..... I agree with CraigC's reply! :)

In no way was I trying to be sarcastic,.... however, the remainder of your reply is correct, as difficult as that seems to be for you to believe.

I have no problem with non-replicas looking however they want. rep·li·ca /ˈrɛplɪkə/ Show Spelled [rep-li-kuh] Show IPA noun 1. a copy or reproduction of a work of art produced by the maker of the original or under his or her supervision. 2. any close or exact copy or reproduction. Origin...

Are you overlooking the fact that Ruger's Old Army, was never meant to be a "replica" of a historical revolver of the 1800's?? I understand the "liability" reasoning behind the BLACK POWDER ONLY stamps,... but I haven't heard of Uberti pistol owners blowing themselves up because their...

I do consider the placing of Pietta's address on top of the barrel, which is the traditional "location" for such things, to be an improvement by Pietta,.... and if they've relocated the BLACKPOWDER ONLY stamp (out of casual sight) to the bottom of the barrel on all their offerings, I'm impressed.

I think the point is,... the difference in price between a Pietta and the Colts, ALLOWS for the cheaper finish and fake color casing on $200.00 replicas. However, placing goofy stamps, such as BLACKPOWDER ONLY and proof marks in BLATANT locations on replica revolvers, strays from an honest...

I agree Willie,..... I've got 2 Pietta's now, I defarbed one of them and I'm seriously thinking about doing it to the other one. My next purchase will be a Uberti, simply because they try to make their replicas look a little more like the originals. Pietta could easily do the same if they...

Not counting Pietta's latest laser engraved nickle plated 1858 NMA's with gold plated cylinders, did Remington ever offer their original NMA's with such elaborate furnishings back in the 1860's and 1870's? Or, are these latest offerings just another one of Pietta's "fantasy ideas", like the...

I'm in full agreement with you! (see post #16)

Lower left.

Easier to remove the nipple and blow the jag out with air.

It makes my eyes hurt, just looking at it. :(

Here are a couple of mine,.....

Quote: He's shooting low. This means either lowering the rear sight, or raising the front sight. Isn't it the other way round? Yes Fred,..... it's the other way round, he has to LOWER the front sight which in turn RAISES the muzzle of the barrel to make the pistol shoot HIGHER.

Quote: "Greetings One thing for sure.. If that Remington is low at 5 yards there is no way it will be anything close at 100 yards. What is the load you are shooting ? A round ball with 30 grains will exit far faster with hardly any barrel rise than a conical with 25 grains. You can file the...

I would think a pistol sighted in for 75-100 yards would shoot HIGH at close range instead of LOW. :confused:

Thanks Tinpan58,... that's what I needed to know.

With the "rammer" removed, the cylinder pin will slide forward UNTIL it hits the rammer-latch, this is on a 5 1/2" barrel. Does the rammer-latch unscrew for pin removal? I'd like to put just a bit more "tapper" on the end of the cylinder pin to facilitate swapping cylinders, and I think...
