How Many Remington Revolver shooters have we got here?

[sandy4570]

I have one Pietta Remington new army target model ,one Pietta new army with fix sight and one Urberti Remington Millenium .I can swap cylinder 5 times the pin got struck with powder fouling. Urberti shoot a bit low but Pietta hit dead on , I like Pietta better eventhough it is more rougher than Urberti ,it seem to be more accurate . I want to get short barrel Remington and hopefully Cabela will start carry them soon.

Hi Mike! Awfully cold out here today, probably as cold or colder than Spokane! Count me in on the Remington. Mine is just a cheapo Cabella's that I've reworked, but it is now very accurate; one of my favorite BP pistols. I'd put it up against most modern revolvers anyday accuracywise. Happy New Year! - "gunsmither"

Sandy:
Try taking some Ballistol or a 50/50 mix of Simple Green and water in a small squirt bottle with you to the range After shooting about every other cylinder full pull the cylinder and squirt down the cylinder pin and give it a good wipe down with a rag. I do this and I never have the cylinders lock up from fouling Remingtons do have a problem in this area including the 1875 and 1890 cartridge guns. But keeping the cylinder pins clean keeps em working.

Just got home from the gun show. I was shopping for another mule ear coachgun but didn't find one today. I did pick up a set of Buffalo Bros, Texas Star imitation Ivory grips for one of my 1875 Remmy's. Yep its cold here in Spokane. I checked a few minutes ago and we were down to 8 degrees. If you make it over this way or if I can get over to the west side we'll have to get together and do some shootin.

Mike weber thank for the advice , I will get the ballistol the next time I order reloading supply - seem like lot of folks highly recommend this lublicant. Currently I use baby wipe to quickly clean the cylinder pin and the bore after about 36-42 rounds just to get the powder fouling off the bore.

I have a EuroArms New Model Army in stainless that I bought 26 years ago. I cant begin to tell you how many rounds or cans of 3f that has gone through it. The bolt has worn some but I have a new one to replace it with. I carry it as a back up weapon during black powder season.

I also have a CVA 1862 navy in brass but have not fired it yet. A neighbor bought it back in the 70s in kit form. He gave up on building it, gave it to his unlce who gave up on it and gave it back to him. It sat in his basement for 20+ years before he gave it to me. It's now together and is looking mighty nice. I cant wait to fire it.

Take care all,

TerryBob
