So I was at a local gun store tonight and found this 1851 2nd gen their on consignment, and ended up walking out the door with it, doesn't appear to have ever been fired, the wedge pushed out with thumbs, but had to tap a few times with a rubber mallet to get the barrel off. Had the black box kinda beat up, no other paper work, Probably paid to much $550 but couldn't help myself. So do I shoot it or not? I am off tomorrow and was going to the range any way. I was surprised placing it next to my pieta, the pieta looks pretty good except for the grips the little tail they put on the back throws the gun off the colt fills much better and points the gun in line much better, also the finish and case color are much better on the colt, but the square back trigger guard is almost to tight but doable. Who am I kidding I am going to have to shoot it. Dose anyone know about the internal parts, can I get them or will pieta or uberti parts work if I break something? Thanks
