Hello, very nice introduction, and thank you for your service to our country during the vietnam war [my era], rich

I never have a problem with cylinder rotation, and i dont use lube just cornmeal, of course i dont shoot cass and i use a cylinder stand exclusively, i just simply wipe the cylinder pin down with bore butter , rich

Thata a 1858 bison or buffalo model, i have one got it from cabelas for $249 nice accurate gun but you become a slave to the brass if you like shiney, mine has adj. sights, not very historic correct they are also available in staimless and regular steel but trying to find the regular steel is...

Hello, blue brick, the frame of the civilian is indeed STEEL fake case hardened, ite the trigger guard and backstrap thats not, its very strong indeed, rich

Hello all, actually he may not be to far off,[using a cylinder stand] i can easily put 40 grains of pyro 3f and a little cornmeal on top and when i seat the ball its still about 3/16 inch in, so with no cornmeal you can come very close to 50 grains, keep in mind pyro compressies more easily than...

Hello Blue Brick, no its not magnetic, i believe its brass, but even the inside of the grips is coated, the coating is said to be silver but i really think its not, it sure is pretty and stays shiney with very little maintanence, and so far mine is still perfect, pghrich

Hey Blue Brick, less the round barrel you could come real close to that by buying a pietta 1851 civilian, rich

Hey jim, if an old woodmaker can do it then i guess a dumb retired electrician has a shot at it, off to the hobby store i go, what did all that stuff cost ya, rich

Look at item# 306728555, current bid is $223.00, how could anyone let their gun get in such deplorable condition, what do you think, good deal or junk, pghrich

could just be the little spring on the hand needs bent just a little [very carefully] i had a similar problem on one of my remmies and that fixed it, honestly the 1851 desig is really quite simple and fairly easy to figure out, you can get a intire kit from cabelas for 45 bucks, money well...

I would not shoot it, just buy a cabelas pietta for less than $200.00 you can have a lot of fun shooting and save the colt for looking and touching, pghrich

I don't know about you but after a day of shooting the only way to get all that blackpowder soot out is with pleanty of soap and water

Hello, you did not say what type [colt or remington], but either one uses the same cleaning stuff, soap and water, a bucket is handy and laundry trays help with a short hose, and a old tooth brush, complete takedown is recomended if you are unsure at least remove the cylinder grips and barrel if...

Your 1851 london is a fine start,complete disassembly is really not that difficult and something that must be done occationally, using pyrodex p permits more shooting but cleaning must be done the same day. Cap jams occur its part of the fun and realism. there is much more to know just wait for...

I like, absolutely gorgous, rich

Gander usually has it but limited supply, apparantly they are only allowed to keep 25lbs total stock in at one time, so sometimes i must wait a couple weeks for it to come in hence the reason for alternates, pghrich

I just started trying out pyrodex in lieu of real black and so far i like it, but was just wondering if 777 is really worth the extra moey, is accuracy better? Can you wait longer between cleanings? What other advantages does it offer?, thanks pghrich

good point, thanks pghrich

Hello, i was cycleing the action when the hammer kinda slipped off my thumb, when i tried the pull the hammer back again it was locked, i tried several times but no go, so i disassembled the gun and found the hand broken in half, the littlle spring just fell out, i have a late 70,s vintage...

Thaks, i just checked all looks good and shiny, pghrich
