Actually I have never seen any gun i disliked or did not want to own. They are all must haves in my book. If only I was a millionaire :(

You may be right on your assessment, but in this hobby I see a lot of things i feel are not worth the price. This gun shoots (groups) and operates almost up to speed with a brand new Pietta 1851 Colt. Which is really surprising for the condition the barrel and forcing cone are in. The fitting...

The owner had originally allowed me too fire it and examine it. After testing, I cleaned and returned the gun thanking them and gave my offer of $100. I explained I was not trying to low ball them, just what my opinion was, along with, some black powder history on reproductions and their values...

The sight on this gun also has squared left and right sides

I will try and see if this person knows where or when this gun was bought. that article that Theroddoc posted had the same serial #, small world. If guns could only talk.

Thanks Guys very interesting, appreciate it

It is not that i need it, i got plenty already:) . It is from a man that has passed and someone gave widow my name and that i deal in them (which i do not) just trying not to hurt someones feelings. What did interest me was the (FAGS) stamped under the barrel. Seems like it was made in 1970. I...

I have in my possession and with the possibility to purchase, an 1851 Colt Navy replica cap & ball revolver. It is a brass framed, plain cylinder (no engraving), with 71/2 in barrel. Over all condition of the gun is good to very good, blueing and brass good I have shot the gun and it does not...

Technicality, skirting the muzzle loading laws for hunting, B.S.

The shooting sports is a dying thing with the younger generation. I have been watching the decline for the past 50 yrs. in my area. I belong to 2 gun clubs, many times I have spent the best part of a day there, and not have another shooter show up. Thirty years ago at these same clubs you would...

I had acquired a Savage mod. 99 C series A in 308 cal. that needed a lot of cleaning out side and on the internals. did total take down an cleaned. on reassembly everything went back with no problem except one, the trigger spring. It is a coiled spring with a leg out both sides, angling up,or...

All new parts, spring, bolt, hammer, trigger, and hand, cylinder is not beat up

Thanks Mike, for your info and time

Do you sand the whole bolt side or just what goes in cylinder notch

I am searching for an article I read on here about filing the bolt to fit the cylinder notches. In that article I thought I read that you only file one side of the bolt, and only the part that fits the notch, but i can not remember which side it was. Am i correct at this, and if so, which side...

I can see now why the gun cleaning products industry is a multi-million dollar buisness :). Almost as bad as beauty products.

Over the years i have found neglected repro. revolvers for reasonable prices to buy and recondition to a usable condition, and make a small profit on resale. It was more less a hobby i liked and could make a few dollars in the process. Today I can buy new parts, cheaper than used, and some times...

Gun cleaning regimes are as plentiful as old wives tales. There is no 100% correct way to clean a firearm. As long as your method produces a clean and rust free firearm you are good to go. Some shooters dislike cleaning firearms, myself, i enjoy it, and at the same time learn how it ticks and...

If you can get you hands on Lubriplate 1240 it is better yet and does not dry over time. Problem is, the smallest amount you can buy is 35 lb pail. It is used a lot in mining and construction on automatic dispensing systems. I got my hands on some years ago when i worked in an iron ore mine...

lubriplate # 105 works great on internal packing and arbor lube
