Hi, I just bought a 1969 Euroarms of Brescia Steel Framed 44 caliber 1851 Navy Model. I would guess it was in a little fire as the grips are charred, missing a good bit of blue & it stunk like smoke when I took it apart. After cleaning it up, it appears to have never been fired, times up nicely, light trigger pull, springs are all good except the loading lever retention spring seems too light, which I do not think was the result of the fire. It is ugly, but I kinda find it cosmetically appealing, it looks real! I paid a whopping $25 for it & have a little over a hour in cleaning it up. Is there anything inherently wrong with a '51 in 44 caliber, like too light for the recoil, frame not sturdy enough to stand up to real shooting? It does have a rebated cylinder. Thanks in advance!
