Hello All
Hello
Thank you for having me aboard.
Sorry for my not introducing myself here sooner.
i am in my early 50s retired Locksmith.
i play PS3 games a lot and still live as a teenager in my head.
Well lets see .ok
i Love collecting and taking apart all sorts of guns and putting back together again.
As for Cap and ball i have
***Uberti 1849 Pocket (my 1st uberti)
***NAA Super Companion Magnum .22 Cap and Ball
***1858 New Army Brass Frame
***Many Air revolvers .22 and under.
***Blank Ekol 9mm Pistol
***Pietta 1858 New Army Buffalo in Stainless Steel with Kirst Conversion
that i had put in using a Dremel and file.
If anyone would ever like to see it i can take pictures of it.
i also i have many good quality air Pistols Air Rifles my Favorite Air rifle is the QB57 it comes in a cool case kind of llike james bond and the rifle breaks down into 3 pieces with the scope included
i have always been a slow learner but seem to sometimes be pretty good with mechanical things.
IF i take something apart i love to learn how to put them together
i am so glad this forum exists also youtube helps alot as well.
For example yesterday i had gotten an Uberti 1849 my 1st Uberti ever.
At first i had regrets i had ordered it because i heard bad reviews on DGW. and i was worried
what UPS was bringing me yesterday.
i ordered it from Taylors and Company.
When it arrived came i opened it up and noticed the nipples were very clogged so i decided to strip the revolver down But not the Trigger assembly.after A Good cleaning i Polished it up to a nice Mirror like finish the way i like it.
i had the hammer on half cock when this was all apart
when i tried to put the cylinder on i could not.the Hammer was Locked.
i said to myself oh no this is one of the things mentioned on Taylors if i have a Hammer lock to return it for repairs,
i decided to take the plunge and look through YouTube videos the closest i came to was the 1851 Navy and i guess the parts are almost the same.i watched several videos and finally took the Trigger Guard apart and put it back together.what ever i did and i am not sure exactly i did but the trigger was working the way it should be.
i had them put it all back together again
All Mirror Shined up i fell in love with it.
i was so happy i had the right Screw Drivers as well
i am so glad to be part of a community like this to get help and advices from.
Thanks Again All
