    1858 Remington 5.5 in. barrel shoots low

    So I bought a Pietta replica 1858 Remington New Model Army revolver a couple of years ago. I finally had time to take it out and shoot it last week. It shoots very low. I had to get within five feet to hit the coffee can I was using as a target, and it hit at the bottom of it when I aimed...

    Taurus PT145 Millenium Pro

    Shot mine for the first time today. It's accurate. My son's hand dropped the mag twice. You have to grip low. Limp wristing will result in failure to feed the next round. Otherwise, very nice and accurate. After my son was alerted to the limp wristing, all rounds were on target. As my son...

    Caps for Pietta 1858 Remington

    So I got the 1858 Remington with a 5.5 inch barrel from Cabelas, it's a Pietta, and I put the CCI number 11 magnum caps on it, no powder or ball just to test it out. It misfired on about 2/3 of them. I figured my caps must be bad, so I put them on my 1851 Colt and they fired just fine. They...

    The Mosin Nagant I found in a pawn shop today...

    On my lunch break I took my normal half hour walk and ended up by a pawn shop. I stepped in to peruse their offerings. I was flabbergasted. I found a 1917 Remington manufacture Mosin Nagant! But it had been badly bubba'd. A sporter stock had been put on it, the bolt turned down, the...

    Shortened my 1851 Navy

    I have a brass framed Pietta 1851 Navy, .44 caliber. I was bored yesterday, and gave in to the urge to shorten it. It's kind of a spare pistol, I have a steel framed one also, so I felt okay playing with it. I have minimal tools in my garage, so I knew going into it that I would have to...

    1851 Navy front sight?

    I'd like to replace the front sight on my 1851 Navy revolver, but I can't quite figure out how to remove it. Any suggestions? It's a Pietta from Traditions. Thanks in advance!:) happybrew
