Well the old oil check this year was nowhere near as big as Palin's glory days, but it was enough to buy provisions for the winter and this beautiful Uberti 1860 Colt Army and friend, a very lovely Damascus steel blade by a local blacksmith who's blades I'm liking more and more. The Ubi is brand new and the barrel fit was pretty stiff when I took it apart for an initial cleaning. But it should loosen up a bit.
The balance is amazing. Even better than the 1851 Navy. It's very light in the hand and aims naturally The trigger is very nice. I'm going to reserve judgment until I shoot off some rounds in it, but so far I'm thinking this thing may even be superior to the Single Action Army, even if it is just a cap and ball. One heck of a graceful piece, that's for sure.
The little extension screws are apparently for the shoulder stock. Does someone make filler screws that will seat flush if you're not using the shoulder stock?
