All right! Can I put some grease at the top of the chamber so that my loading doesn't "fall"? I hope that everything is stuck in the chamber.

Howdy! Can you explain me the way to load my Remington for my first reenactement, just a normal charge of powder, a wad and grease? Thanks. :)

I wish I had one of these future American Remington. (USFA I think):( :( :(

I ordered an 1858 Uberti because it's a brand new production, I owned one but I sold it, so, I want another. Their shape is much more like the originals, as well as the OWA stamping on the left grip.:)

Do you know if we can find these models, this brand in France? :)

I shot muskets, Sharps, well, a lot of rifles but I can't afford one of these, so I shoot revolvers, it is as funny. I also shoot cartridges, Winchesters, Marlins... I think I also am addicted to Cowboy Action shooting, I even would like to smoke blackpowder.:D :D :D

In France, you before have to be killed, then you can shoot or call the police. :D

With Pietta, you have to check all internal parts, on Uberti guns, each part is fitted quite perfectly, you have some work to do on Pietta sometimes, I had the same problem on a Remnie Pietta, I bought several spare parts, and fitted them, I checked by reassembling the gun, sometimes 10 times a...

I think that I read on this forum a thread by Gatofeo (I don't remember) saying that if we can push the wedge out with the thumb, it's too loose. On the Navy Pietta I bought yesterday, the wedge came out after 5 mn, brand new guns out of the factory are really thight, but it's true that...

Exactly, we both are from the same French forum, funny that shooters around the world can meet wherever they go on the Internet. I shot the Navy yesterday, 4 cylinders and no particular problem, don't know if it could shoot more because I tried the Remington, it's a perfect six gun, soooooo...

Ok guys! I've just bought 2 revolvers: - 1851 Navy Colt Pietta, perfect, really tight, smooth action. - I replaced my old Uberti 1858 for a brand new one with the OWA stampings on the left grip, I know everything about Remnies and its history, the design etc... and this one has some new...

All right, thank you. It's complicated the way you measure your charges in the US, anyway, it's the same. 0.6/0.7 g for a .36 and 0.9/1.1 g for a .44. When I say that Colt revolvers are made for .36, I mean that maybe, as there is less recoil, pressure than in a Colt Army .44, maybe it...

Hello! This is my first time on an American forum because I live in France. I've been shooting blackpowder for years now and I've never owned a Colt, I love Remington revolvers. I think Colt revolvers are made for .36, that's why I'm planning to buy a 1851 Navy, Pietta. The civilian model...
