Those elk grips will look great I'm sure. Don't worry, Chris will do an excellent job for you. Chaz

Just to offer another alternative, I have also had custom grips made by one other shop and that one was Classic Single Action run by Joe Perkins in Tucson AZ. He made a set of ebony grips for me and I was equally pleased with them. He does also offer american holly. You can check out his site as...

If you are talking about 1 piece grips, the type you need for colt style revolvers, you need to get these custom made by sending your revolver frame and backstrap to your grip maker. I had a set made for a Pietta 1851 at a place called Chisel and Plane workshop in Cincinnati, OH. The man...

I got one a couple of years ago mainly because the appearance appealed to me and I got it at a good price. It turned out to be the worst percussion revolver I have owned. The action was extremely rough and the cylinder wanted to lock up and quit turning even without being fired. The other...

Re the Skinner sight option Regarding the possibility of Skinner (or anyone else) making a commercial front sight replacement It might be worth mentioning that Pietta's sight has different dimensions than Uberti, and I would say there are just as many Piettas out there as Ubertis. Chaz

The only R&S reproductions being made were manufactured by Euroarms and Pedersoli, but these are both out of production. As far as I know, there are none being made by anyone right now. You can find Euroarms models for sale on gunbroker or on cowboy action shooting classifieds from time to...

It's not as easy as buying some ready-made grips. You can't really get off the shelf grips for most single action revolvers, because individual grip frames vary, and the grips need to be fitted to your individual frame. If you are an experienced woodworker, there are lots of grip makers online...

No real problem finding #10 remingtons here in Ohio. This year I have bought several tins at a Gander Mountain, Cabelas, and at the NMLRA spring shoot in Friendship IN. I also keep a pretty good supply on hand (about 1500-2000) just in case supplies do start running low. Chaz

This is what I have done since I started shooting percussion revolvers a couple of years ago. I use empty .308 brass for my loads, and I measure out the powder into each piece the night before. About 80 percent of the brass remains empty, so there's much less chance for the powder to spill...

How close was it shooting to point of aim? Did you have to adjust your aim with Kentucky windage? Chaz

I have never seen the attraction of the BP conversion cylinders unless you don't have any cartridge revolvers, but I doubt many of us fall into that category. Presumably you got the BP revolver because you wanted to experience shooting a percussion revolver. If you want a BP looking...

I had Chris make a set of American holly grips for my colt navy. They are some of the best looking and fitting grips I have seen on any revolver. You picked the right man for the job. If the wood you have in mind is workable, I'm sure you will be pleased with the results. Chaz

I'm looking for feedback from anyone who has won an auction on Gunsamerica. I had not used their site before but I tried bidding on a rifle I was interesed in. I had read their auction and bidding FAQ and I did not see anything unusual in what I read. It turns out I won the auction at a...

I found that my colt 1851 didn't need much of a height increase to shoot at 60 feet. I used a brass rod inside of a larger brass tube and just glued the new post into the existing hole with weld-on.

I looked at gunbroker yesterday myself. There were two Ruger old armys in stainless both over 550, and the auction wasn't finished yet. There were a couple of blued models with bids around 450, but the auctions weren't over. Chaz

From your description, it definitely has a problem. The problem might be relatively easy to fix, since the internal mechanism on these colt revolvers is not very complex. It sounds like the notches in the hammer/sear need to be looked at, or there is something under the hammer (such as a smashed...

On the Dixie site you have to add it to your cart first to find out that it's out of stock. At least that's how I interpreted the message I got when I tried to order one. You might give them a call just to be sure. Chaz

Where are you looking to find one? I have a passing interest in the Starr, but the single action has been out of stock at Cabelas and Dixie Gunworks for some time. Chaz

I have four 2 Pietta 1851 Colt navies A Pietta 1860 Colt army A Euroarms Rogers and Spencer At one time I had a Pietta Spiller and Burr as well, but I didn't care for it, and I sold it. Chaz

It's a nice looking revolver, appears comparable to a pietta or uberti. Those go for about 400 dollars new, so that's about the value I would place on your pistol. Chaz
