Thanks on replies. I have similar question. Since modern factory conversions of 1860 have increased frame size in comparison with c&b frame (in order to fit 6 .45 cartridges), is the same true for 1851 factory conversions? In other words, would barrel assembly of 1851 factory conversion fit on...

So my question is really simple. Do any 6-shot conversion cylinders for 1860 Army exist? I found plenty of them but they all have 5 chambers. They say it's because rims of .45 Colt would interfere, so did anyone make .44 Colt ones (I know, it's pretty obsolete cartridge)? Also is there...

Busyhands94: That's the thing I think that is common to all young people who love guns (including me),or maybe I'm wrong?

There are two methods of increasing power in .36 navy.One I remembered was to use three commercially available powders in one chamber.Second (that I have read on TFL forum) is that you should make powder in even finer granulation than FFFFg,and then put 5 grains of that on bottom,and fill rest...

Hmm???Cutting of a bit of recoil shield will not make switching to cap and ball and shooting it impossible.It will be even more comfortable to put caps on nipples.

HMMM ???? How can you say that ? :D I absolutely love that creeping loading lever! That's why I got 1851 conversion with loading lever ''Opinions are like as*holes. Everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks'' :D

Who says that?Colt is the both from these. And for those ones that are saying that only Remington has fast cyl changes... On the original Colts wedges come out with just finger presure,same thing with broken in Ubertis.And I can change cylinders as fast as I could do that with Remington

1851 Navy,you know why

1851 ''Man With No Name''.Had it (Uberti replica) but sold it.There is no gun that points better.

I voted on Colt 1860,because I thought it was Colt 1851.There is no gun that will point better,nor there will be. Do one thing.Get the gun in your hand and point barrel in air.Watch your target and remember it's position.Then close your eyes and while holding them closed,aim at your target.Only...

Open-tops aren't weak.When you are shooting black powder with caps pressure is forced mainly on center of frame,where Colt is really strong with it's big cylinder arbor pin,and it's stronger for shooting black powder than Remington with it's thin,foul-prone cylinder pin.However,when you're...

I heard about that ''shot heared round the world'' (79 men made it,right?) Your guess is right.Our current gun laws are a little bit worse than your Washington D.C laws.That's why you sometimes hear that in D.C they have ''communist gun laws''. And I'm surprised to see that somebody even heared...

But you have freedoms,my ancestors fought 500 years against terror of Ottoman Empire,and we haven't got any freedoms.

You are absoulutely right!NM and AZ seems really good to me. Now back to guns. I know that in America you can buy black powder cap and ball revolver without any registration or so.Now,I have a question.Can you carry replica black powder percussion revolver concealed or open without permit...
