    Nickel finished 2nd Gen. Dragoon

    Thanks for the information about the finish. It really looked like a highly polished nickel finish. It was number 904 from a 1000+ gun collection from an estate that Cabelas had purchased.

    Nickel finished 2nd Gen. Dragoon

    Does anyone know about 2nd gen. Dragoons with serial numbers starting with GC? I am interested in one that has a case-hardened frame and a highly polished nickel finish on the cylinder and barrel.

    Cabella's Sale of the year.

    They had about 12 in their case Thursday. I was told they had more to put out as the stock was sold. I bought a LeMat they used for display from their Bargain Cave 3 years ago for about $370.00 after using a coupon I had received in the mail and Cabelas points I had accrued. I would like to get...

    Cabella's Sale of the year.

    I was at my local Cabela's in Fort Worth and they have an assortment of used percussion pistols and rifles for sale. The salesman in the Bargain Cave said they are used and come in with other items on pallets from the parent company. They have 3 Uberti Walker's for $209.00 and I noticed a Pietta...

    Just put a Remington R1 Stainless 1911 on layaway with buds

    I just bought one today for $700 which included the Tx sales tax. It will be my fourth 1911 and first stainless model. I prefer blued finishes but I felt the flawless satin finish and walnut grips complimented each other nicely. I look forward to shooting it next week. My other 1911's were 2...

    Revolver Sale at Cabelas

    Today, I bought the 5.5" barrel Remington 1858 with an additional 10% off coupon for a total of $185.00 including tax. I will probably get the target model in the near future, it had a very smooth action and trigger pull.

    Which parts break on cap and ball revolvers?

    I have three Uberti's whose barrel lugs have fallen off and which I staked back on.. I have also replaced three hands on a ASM 1851 Navy over a 10 year period.

    THR Lemat club

    I haven't shot mine yet because of my lack of knowledge on loading the shotgun tube. Any pointers? Also, I understand the shotgun barrel should be capable of being removed for cleaning, but mine doesn't want to budge. If I am looking down the barrel, which way should the shotgun barrel be...

    BPStuff,LLC

    Does anyone have any information on Thomas Raether at BPStuff,LLC. I haven't heard from him since late September and he has about $800 worth of guns and cash of mine. He never was very communicative to begin with, but my patience is getting thin even if his web site says he is real busy at the...

    Newbie to black powder revolvers, doing research before buying

    I tried 777 before I found a couple of good sources for 3f black powder. I reduced the load on the 777 by 15% as instructed on the Hodgson situa. I now use 53 grains of black powder with a lubed wad because any more caused the loading lever to drop after every shot. Plus, at 53 grains my...

    Dragoon dissappoints greatly

    I have the Uberti 3rd and 2nd model Dragoons and have no issues, in fact, these are my favorite black powder pistols. When you say you "removed the wedge," did you completely clear it from the arbor? If it is not pulled to the wedge screw stop, it may still be slightly in the wedge slot on the...

    Most Reliable 1911

    Twenty five years ago I bought a Colt Gov.Series70 which had a stove-pipe problem. A gunsmith enlarged the ejector port and polished the ramp and no more issues,ever. I recently bought a Kimber Custom II and have fired 300 rounds without a hiccup.

    Anyone have a Triple P loader they wish to part with?

    I got mine with the wad cutter attachments for .31,.36, and .44 caliber guns. It works extremely well.The only negative on mine was cosmetic, the loading disk had a lot of deep tooling marks that I had to polish out.

    Lead Bullet Ban in the works

    It would be nice if the NRA tells where they got that information of a country wide ban. I read that this is limited to the range areas of the California Condor and Gov. Schwarzenegger signed a bill in 2007 to ban lead bullets for hunting in the Condor ranges. They found in the Grand Canyon...

    Wads and cutters.

    Wad cutters I bought two punches from Buffalo Arms for $18.00 each last year and used them only twice. I saw the Triple P loader and bought it with the wad punch option, so I don't use the others anymore. If you would like to buy them from me, I'll sell them for $9.00 each, plus the shipping...

    Finally scored one................

    I bought a Calvary LeMat at Cabela's Bargain Cave Tuesday. It was either it or a Uberti Walker, which I already own. Been wanting a LeMat for a long time, too. They had it for $650 and I gave in.

    Rem. #10 cap problem

    I can't fire CCI #10's on my Uberti 1858. The hammer strikes the cap but not hard enough for it to fire. In my Uberti 1860 Army,2nd and 3rd model Dragoon's, Walker and 1849 Pocket Colt, the CCI caps hit the back-plate and stop the cylinder from rotating. I use #10 Remington's on all of these...
