    Cylinder gap on a 58rem.

    Now just got to bead-blast the top of the dang thing along the top o' the frame and top 3 flats o' the barrel so's it'll quit blinding me when I go a'shooting (think might want to try my hand at etching it too, later!)...

    Cylinder gap on a 58rem.

    The Remmy is a little different animal (and thus requires a different approach -) than the open-tops. The barrel-gap for a open-top is regulated by the arbor, but on a Remmy (whether Army [.44] or Navy [.36],) the barrel gap is regulated by the shoulder on the barrel itself, which nestles up...

    Parts for Other Ruger models work in Ruger old army

    Fergot to mention it above, but it is also worthwhile to mention that he could also make yer peashooter a .50 with a lot more 'bark' (can also deepen yer chambers to hold more powder, as well as modify your loading port (to accommodate the bigger bullets)! Might be worthwhile fer ya to check him...

    Parts for Other Ruger models work in Ruger old army

    Y'all know that Dave Clements (Clements Custom Guns) pretty much is a "Ruger Specialist" gunsmith, right? If you feel uncomfortable working your Ruger hammer, call him up (1-276-238-8761) and ask him what he'd charge ya to fix yer peashooter! Sorry it...

    Which model do you want, the "Mortimer Whitworth Standard" (at a pedestrian $1675,) or the "Mortimer Whitworth Deluxe", at a eye-popping $4225?

    trigger pull 1858 Pietta

    Let's see: Guy buys a gun that (just by looking in virtually any gun forum on the web -) is known to require "owner modifications" to work properly, then complains because he has to work on it for it to work as designed? Come on now, you...

    where to get a tap-o-cap machine?

    One thing you'll want to know about his "tap-a-cap" is that they work better with the heavy aluminum disposable "roasting pans" you can see in a supermarket than aluminum cans (found that out from a tip over at 1858 Remington forum, works pretty good as you can mold that to your nipples easier...

    Best 1858 clone?

    Think the best repro is the Hege-Uberti Custom Match.(P.S. - 688.00 euros currently works out to @ $761.10, according to Google's currency translater). Comes equipped with custom...

    Pedersoli-Remington Custom Target revolver?

    The Pedersoli is a pretty decent pistol (less than 1/3 -1/2 of the Hege-Uberti Ultra-Custom Match with shipping and import duties)!

    Shoulder Stocked Pietta 1860 .44

    Still has almost a week to go, but right now @ $280: not too bad for a used Pietta 1860 w/ shoulder stock.

    Conversion Cartridge for Walker Back in the Day

    After the Civil War most folks didn't have much money, so to me isn't surprising the fact that some were found converted but rather so few survived (probably quite a few met their demise during the metal recycling drives of WWI and WWII). The fact that (at least at first,) some Rangers loaded...

    Tips on building a bp home firing range

    A person can often find discarded railroad ties stacks within 10-20 miles of each other along rr lines (most rr would apprieciate folks toten em off so they wouldn't have to pay - this refers strickly to the "pulls",) and a 'pinned' (rebar driven 4' the full depth of the berm into the ground...

    uberti 1858 mainspring and caps

    That's why I recommended those nipples (Slix-shots have a bad rep on cap-eating), and they're definitely not the latest or greatest. They are properly sized for commercially-made caps availble today, however, and think you can get CCI # 11 Magnums (good caps by any measures - and I generally...

    which C&B revolver?

    For the 1858 there are these quick-change setups (yep, you lose the loading lever) like this one (they're also available there in blue,) but don't know any for ROA. 1858 is fast enough in swapping cylinders (this jig makes it even faster, but isn't really needed). Just can't see spending...
