My Cabelas Pietta Remmie arrived

[Omnivore]

I tried calling their new store in Post Falls, Idaho and they knew nothing about the sale. I then called the 800 number and they knew nothing either, until I mentioned the Spring Catalog. Then they found the $169.99 deal. Ordered it. The local store personnel might have been able to find the deal if I'd mentioned the Spring catalog to them. Don't know. Thanks for posting this, Sundance and all. I've been ogling the '58 for some time and this was the clincher.

Odd, sometimes, what it takes to get things done. Guess it's true, that one can never have enough information.

Congratulations on your purchase. Hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed mine.

My 58 .44 arrived yesterday. Now i have two. I just couldn't pass up that deal.

These repo C&B revolvers have come a long way in the last 40 + years. The quality is really on the up side, compared to the older guns of the 50s, and 60s. This Latest one needs a trigger pull job, as its horendoes, but a little brass shim stock and some honning will take care of that. The fit and finnish of the parts is excellent.

Have fun, shoot straight

Rebel Dave (still unreconstucted)

Noticed the trigger will need some work, on mine, as well. There's what only comes to mind as a "grinding ledge," at the beginning of the pull. May not be an accurate technical term, but there it is. Also, the internals aren't making those wonderful sounds.

No problem. Gives me something to do, after I get home, tonight.

Will be polishing the grips, as well. But, hey, the halves match. All-in-all, not a bad buy. Especially, for the price.

Perk ..thats why I didn`t complain about the hammer spring ...I figured it could have been much worse ...Pietta is doing a much better job on the outside fit and finish though ..I kind of enjoy the smoothing up job on the internals ..gives it that custom touch ..and uasually a good shooter emerges .

I ordered mine Thursday afternoon. Said it would not arrive until the 29th. I have been reading all I can o bp 44's. Wish I had read more before ordering caps and balls, and the starter kit.

 

[Perk]

Oneiron - Welcome to the sub-forum. Do not worry over what you've missed. These guys'll help catch you up on things.

Am beginning to think that Cabela's tells everyone to expect arrival, on the 29th. Don't be surpirsed if the new arrival gets there, sooner. ('Course, don't hold me to that.)

Sundance44s – Hope I didn’t make it sound like I was complaining ‘bout the need for work, upon the new ’58 . Don’t believe I’ve come across a projectile-shooter, which didn’t need to be, ah, okay, worked-on. Not that I’m picky (well, maybe), or that companies just put out crud – they don’t, generally, from what I’ve experienced.

Cleaning and honing these things help me to learn more about them and (more importantly) provides info, on their condition, at any given time.

Do the same with other machines. Keeping ‘em clean, dry and serviceable helps in finding out what might be the cause of a problem – should one occur. Keeping at it, regularly, helps me to stay on top of general condition.

Also, have found the ritual to be somewhat calming. Am fond of things that are calming.

Enjoy yours.

 

[sundance44s]

No I didn`t mean it that way Perk ..I ment I was just lucky I keep a small box full of the parts for my Remmies I have 6 of them now ..I really haven`t had to replace many parts yet ..But I like haveing them just in case .
The small parts like springs and such are cheap and the shipping cost more than the parts ..so I ordered quite a few spare parts so the shipping wouldn`t be for one tiny part .

 

[Perk]

Very prudent. And, something, with which I agree whole-heartedly. Spares and redundancies have saved the lower regions far more than they’ve cost for their preparation. You remind that I need to buy some more of my own, for the two ‘58’s in possession. (Would have done so, for one, already. But, stretched the budget for a second ’58 purchase, at that wonderful sale.)

Now that they’ve arrived, need to finish making them at home.

Perk once you make them at home then you need to get them some beds to be tucked into each night. So let me know when you are ready for some nice custom beds for them purdy pistols.

Bigbadgun – Haven’t forgotten about you, by any means. Have been considering which kind of rig might work best with the upcoming shoulder stock addition.

Then, couldn't pass up the price of that R&D conversion cylinder. So, have also, been working upon consolidation of the required funds.

Guess, after the Remingtons arrive, more arrivals arrive, too.

Will PM you, when all is together. Your work has garnered some fine references.

 

[redneck2]

When I was at the Cabela's in Hammond, In last week there was one in the Bargain Cave at $169.

 

[bigbadgun]

Redneck they are on sale until March 3rd.
I have family in Hobart are you close to there?

 

[sundance44s]

That might have been a display on sale in the Bargain Cave .

 

[marlin.357]

Just ordered one!!!! Used the online order, once it was in the cart the discount showed.

Any recommendation on the percussion caps? CCI or Remington? #10 or 11?

Thanks for the heads up

 

[GENTLEMAN OF THE CHARCOAL]

Number 10 on the '58 .44. I use Remington. I'vd had good luck with them. So good in fact, I have never shot any other kind.
Guess it would be your choice what brand you use, but a Remington #10 fit's perfectly....

 

[Im283]

GotC, where did you get them grips on your'58? Who made that pistola?

 

[GENTLEMAN OF THE CHARCOAL]

IM283..
It's a Pietta. I bought it from Cabela's a long time ago. They still sell them. It's the color case hardened model. Those laser checkered grips come on it. Nothing fancy about it. Just a dependable, good working gun. I'vd poured a fair amount of .451's through it and have never had one second's worth of trouble out of it even after all these years. No broken springs, nothing. I got a hair up my ass once and changed out all 6 nipples about 5 or 6 year's ago after I'd accidentally dry fired on one of them....

 

[Im283]

GotC, my Remmy is a Pietta but it sure did not come with them all fired fancy handles like you got.

I am jealous.

Nice looking piece.

 

[GENTLEMAN OF THE CHARCOAL]

IM283--Thanks.

 

[Perk]

Gentleman of the Charcoal – Have seen the ad for the revolver you have pictured. But, only saw the ad – there was no photograph included, in the Cabela’s catalog. So, am guessing, that you provided the treatment to the front sight?

Fine-looking revolver, sir.

Must ask you: Was the holster, pictured, fashioned by Bigbadgun?

 

[GENTLEMAN OF THE CHARCOAL]

I put it on--Luminous paint for low light shooting....
No, this holster has nothing to do with Bigbadgun in any way....
Thanks....

 

[oneiron]

Perk, I got it to day.seems alright having trouble getting the trigger guard screw to come out. soaking it in penetration fluid. If that does not work I may just go ahead a shoot it that may jar it loose. Every other screw was loose, but that one. It looks well made. The starter kit I got from Cabela's was a waste of money. I should have got the one from thepossibles.com web site. It cost more but you get a loading stand and 100 rounds of ammo. I bet the powder flask would not have been a black plastic one with Cabels'a name on it. O'Well live and learn.
