Does anyone out there have any experiences with the Italian made double barreled .44 pistols produced during the late '50s through the '60s? The gun I am looking at is a Renegade , imported by Intercontinental Arms , and this particular speciman is dated 1962. I'm considering buying it to...

When I learned that my LGS has a butt-load of M&P10s in stock I started to seriously entertain adding one to my rifle selection. When I brought it up to my brother he said that he had a couple dozen M14 magazines still and that they would only need a very minor mod. to work on the newer...

I had my LGS special order an '72 Open-top .44 Special 4-3/4" Uberti for me and it was available for my inspection over this weekend, Surprise of surprises- the gun was suffering the short arbor syndrome. Since my LGS wouldn't be open on Mondays I took it upon myself to contact Cimmaron's...

While at an auction the other night, during my attempts to find some guns to add to my collection, I witnessed a so-called "expert" (long-time gun auctioneer and FFL holder) pick up EVERY single-action revolver meant for bid (several new, many others like new -or- collectible) and casually...

The "Pocket".31 ordered from BerettaUSA showed up this evening and got sent back for exchange in the same hour. The arbor was short by .023" (go figure), it's cylinder timing problems would have been enough for me to reject it by themself, and when I reassembled it the wedge bottomed against...

The Uberti 1849 .31 revolvers look quite interesting to me. My investigation about thier lead ball size needs are all over the place from .310" to .320", and a responder to the question posed here on an earlier occasion said that Uberti themselves suggest .330". The supplier of cast lead balls...

Has there ever been a successful attempt at modifying a Remington clone to use a coil spring & plunger for the hand tension flat spring? Seeing as I've only ever seen one source for the spring (alone) and haven't tried one for fit to my hand with a broken spring (yet), and all the hassle...

Does anyone have a telephone number for a customer service representative at Pietta in the United States? For that matter, how about an english speaking Pietta service rep. anywhere? I have a defective replacement part that will not be repaired/replaced by the retailer. If I send it back to...

I've been kicking around adding a 1858 revolving carbine to the BP collection and after searching on the subject and not coming up with much in the way of answers about the new ones available I thought it is time to field some questions here. I'm already quite aware of where not to place those...

While I perused the excellent online parts catalogue at the Taylor's & Co. website I found some bits and pieces there that I had been unable to access at either of the other two Uberti / Pietta / Pedersoli suppliers (VTI & Dixie ). Everything that I purchased from them besides these items were...

How much reshaping can a Pietta 1851 grip frame stand? I have found that I really don't care for thier version of the Navy grip, and since I already have to spend the effort to get the wood to fit properly I might as well rework the brass backstrap to more closely match the original profile...

Rather than stretch someone else's thread beyond the original inquiry I thought that getting a new series of questions rolling about the problems/solutions of the Pietta (& Uberti) C&B and other reproduction firearms. Adding a quote from the "1860 Pietta problem" thread as one of the answer men...

Yesterday I took receipt of an 1862 Police .36 Pietta. While checking it out today I discovered that it suffers from an ill-timed / wide bolt. When it is cocked I can find myself having to advance the cylinder by hand so that the bolt drops into it's notch on the cylinder. Now I have read the...

You'd have to ask questions before you bought, i.e. -Does it come off the display stand for actual use as a bag? ect. ... But, here you go, A possibles bag made out of -get this- A bull's scrotum , Hah! (damn that things big). Seriously, check out the photo of it in use on it's included...

In the relatively short time I have been registered here and reading all that interests me about black powder revolvers and related has led me to understand that the Butler Creek/ Uncle Mike's brand produced a respectable line of replacement nipples for the percussion cap firearms. I think that...

Here's a run-on group of questions directed at someone out there who might have spent an awful lot of money on the available replacement C&B revolver nipples out there. Of the three distinct brands mentioned in this thread, we can be sure that they all will function reliably with SOMEONE'S...

I just received my '51 style of shoulder stock from Cabelas to mount to eligible Pietta BP revolvers. I'm going to be just a bit cynical and say that "of course" it requires -some- fitting. Now I have an especially good reason to trim up the grip set of the London that this is going to mate...

I hope this doesn't ruffle anyone's feathers, and let me stress that I am not associated with the seller in any way or form. International Military Antiques (IMA for short , the folks behind the National Geographic TV channel show "Family Guns") sent out thier weekly email sales flyer this...

While putting together an order at Buffalo Arms for a rotary wad cutter ( http://www.buffaloarms.com/wad_punches_pr-3756.aspx ) I came across an item on thier site that was previously unknown to me. A company called Rydon (They also mark thier packaging RMC) are marketing stainless steel...

Of all the threads I have studied that show the cutting of the recoil shield to allow for a gated Kirst Konversion to load a cylinder in frame, I have not seem (to my recollection) any photos of the frame of an 1860 that is notched for the shoulder stock after it has been modified for the gate...
