The on sale Pietta Remmie I ordered came today ...Compairing it to the older Pietta I have ...they`ve came along with fit and finish nice grips and they fit the frame well , trigger guard is a nice fit also ...the action is still quite clunky out of the box but thats not a problem ...Uberti`s are much smoother in this dept . at a much higher price too. The only thing I can complain about is ...the hammer spring , way too loose .it almost fell out when I took the grips off , I tightened the tension screw and I`m still not sure it will pop a cap every stroke .Lucky for me I had a new hammer spring in my spare tool box ..installed the new spring ..now I`m very happy with it ...Hope you other guys that ordered one do as well . Nice deal for the 169.00 bucks .
 
Mine's due to arrive, on the 21st. Tracking info came in, yesterday. Makes it seem much less further away, when I say "Tomorrow," instead of "The 21st," though. :what:

Will get back, with first impressions. Will post pictures, when the shoulder stock arrives, early next month (it is hoped). :rolleyes:
 
I went to the website but they were $199.99. Is the sale off? Thanks.
Click to expand...

I get the same thing, I wonder if they keep up with our IP addres or location of IP... I cleared my browser and it still shows $199.99

Wonder whats up with that....?

maybe post a link?
 
I cleared my browser, tried two other computers I have and it still comes up $199.99. I guess the gods of the big boom & smoke clouds are punishing me for some transgression. A link anyone?
 
Gonna give 'em a break, mykeal, on account of I gots mine :p, er sticking together, er goodness and niceness, er whatever.

Go to the thread, below, and refer to post #61 . That's the number fer the $169 deal. Use the standard stock number, or try to order online and you won't get the deal.

Mykeal's right, also. You're going to have to call Cabela's and place the order, face-to-ear, yourselves. The only way to do it. You're on your own for the number... :evil:

bigbadgun - That ain't fair, 'tall. Gotta work, this weekend, myself. Going to have to wait another week, 'til getting back to the ridge, again (if it ain't washed out, by then). Guess I'll just call it next Wednesday, instead of the 27th.

Poor me. :(

'D like lots and lots of cheese, to go with this post - thank you.

Just got my Cabelas 1858 too...but.

Hello folks. New to the forum here. I just got my Cabelas remington as well but no not on sale. :mad: Man I wish I had been on this forum a few weeks ago. I do have question though. The owners manual from Pietta says that for loading, the ball size is .454 and min-max powder 12-15 grains. That can't be right can it? Even the Cabela manual says .451 ball and max 35 grains of powder max. Am I missing something? Is the low grain in powder due to the larger ball size or what? I'm still kind of new to this stuff so any help would be great.
 
Hows it going FJ? Alright, the manual from Pietta is very conservative with the powder charges. Cabelas is right, you can throw 35 gr. in it with no problems. The size of the Round Ball doesn't affect pressures much if at all because the RB will be swagged down to fit the chamber, and a ring will be cut off. If you don't get a lead ring, go to a bigger sized ball. I prefer .454s as they shave off a better ring.

EDIT: If you use 777 instead of BP or Pyrodex, reduce the loads by 15%.
 
Thanks for the quick reply DWave. I appreciate the info. I didn't want the thing to blow up in my face. Now I need to get to the field and try this bad boy out.
 
Im my 58 the .454 ball seesm to shoot more accurately than a .451. I use 20 grains of Pyro now. Seems like point of aim is a little off but I have adjusted to it and aim a little left, no problem.
 
Fat Jimbo – Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new acquisition. Hope it gives you years of good service.

The Cabela’s ’58 was waiting, at the front door, when I came home for lunch, today. Just opened it up (late night) and took some of the grease off of it. Will check it out, further, tomorrow. So far, the biggest difference between this one and the first are the sights – but, that was to be expected.

My many thanks for the info, leading up to the savings on the companion for my first purchase. Got a manual for this one, too. Had wanted one of those.
 
Good catch you guys :) I shot them in cowboy action for a year and they are pretty fun little pistols...I finally moved on to cartridge guns just so I could talk to people between rounds vs. spending all my time reloading. Anyway I do have a conversion cylinder for 45lc in the classifieds section..I hate to pimp it here but some one should take it who will use it as I only shoot my remmies with the holy black. (I had to mail order the real stuff and 10lbs will take a lifetime for me to shoot off)
