Hi. Anyone put together a GPR kit lately? How's the quality? I have one on the way and am wondering what to expect here. Thankyou, tk

So, I ordered a set of ss nipples for my older Pietta 1858. They said PIR-S, 6x.75 are the correct ones. Well, they are close, but don't thread in properly. They start, but tighten up progressively and don't seem to seat. Obviously a thread that is close but not quite right. Guess these will be...

Hi. I just received a NOS 1851 Uberti from a forum member here. Nice piece, never fired. Not sure how old, but reportedly at least 5 yrs. The wedge knocked right out and the gun came apart easily enough. Upon reassembly, putting the wedge back in about where it was tended to bind up the...

Hi. Can someone please outline the procedure for checking timing on BP Remington or Colt models? Thankyou so much, tomas
