Repro Quality for Newbees

[Ratdog68]

LOL I unnerstan' !! I'm kickin' 'round a winter time leather project at some point... me thinks me needs a bag to hang over the saddle horn that has a built in holster for me "horse pistol". What better way to haul around a Walker? A buddy of mine has a book of old style bags/patterns. If I do... gonna have to go on the search for stamping tools that match the pattern of my saddle. If I can... wanna make in such a manner that it'll carry the Remmies too, if I so choose. Gonna have to do a little homework on that.

And, yup... all sorts of "monsters" out there on the trail ! "Tall grass waving in the wind" monsters, "mud puddle" monsters, "tarp flap" monsters... the list is endless !! LOL Gotta love them critters though. Once they trust ya on sumpin'... they'll do anything for ya along those lines.

Well I cant tell you anything about sweet tea then. You ever go hunting down there, I got a bunch of friends go down there after Christmas say the rut is just starting. Anything to that? By the way I really like that mickey ds tea you can get a large for a buck down here proably there too. Kinda rough on the kidneys though.

 

[Das Jaeger]

Yup

I try to avoid Mcdonalds , bad for the Pipes . I frequent Popeyes , but they stopped serving Collard greens here , so I rezent going in there anymore unless I have to have some Chicken on the fly . :banghead: .. No collard greens , communists I say !

Yes , I have hunted Louisiana , for birds not deer . I hunted the piss out of Bama though ...Couldn't say anything about LA's rutt , but wouldn't surprise me none . Being El' Ninyo going on lately , no surprise at all if the Rutt is later , warmer , you know ?

We make our own Sweet Tea here Hogshead , gall drinks it like water or Beer . Costs maybe $00.75 a gallon With Sugar

Lotsa Arabs

We have a lot of Arabs here in SE Michigan, not sure if theyr'e the same kind. I do like their food though. One pastry shop in Dearborn, Shatillas, is known even in the Mid-East for its wonderful concoctions, minimum 5000 calories each.

I do have a gun problem, with a Uberti 1860 Colt. I had a similar problem years ago with a Ruger, a.k.a. Rooger on this forum. Not Bill's fault. Had some reloads I was very happy with, my Oh my they did shoot flat in silhouette matches. Then my SS .357 Blackhawk froze up, could not get cylinder to rotate. Disassembled, unloaded. . . then I thought some more about just how I had loaded those rounds. Yeah. Dissassembled all the cartridges next. Thats about when I realized that handloading smokless ammunition might not be my forte. Gun has worked just fine ever since, with factory whatever.

Now for the Uberti. Loaded moderately, shot quite high at 25 yds. Which is the convenient distance for me to shoot on Holy Tuesday. A little nervous about controlling that Dremel to cut the hammer notch/sight deeper, so thought I'd modify POI by increasing the load, forget exactly what but in the high 20's of FFFg Swiss. POI got better but the gun froze up, pretty much, had to rotate the cylinder by hand. No, the balls were not interfering, nor were cap fragments this problem. Home in my shop I saw little burs on each ratchet. Don't think Mr. Uberti put them there. I think the hand dug into the ratchet from recoil of the max loads I was using. Removed burrs, thought about it some more & put Uberti away. Unless I change something seems to me the same thing would happen again.

Don't know what to change.

Meanwhile, my SS ROA is a pleasure to shoot. 35 gr loads no problem & the odd cap fragment that gets caught is only a minor nuisance.

Except.

Except, I do prefer the appearance of something more authentic, which for me is specifically an 1860 Army. If I can get it to shoot, I'd be inclined to doll it up with faux ivory grips as a Western gun. Heard too much from Grampa about the Civil War & effects on his Dad to be seriously enthused about the military stuff.

Anyone have similar problems with their Colt replica seizing up under heavy loads? (Remingtons have a different style ratchet, might not have same problem)

 

[hogshead]

Got my pietta 1858 today seems real tight after the Richland Arms. Shot great at 15 yards elevation wise but about 3 inches to the left. Not much I can do about windage is there? Really disappointing, very nice looking gun and I dont have to point it down to cock it.lol

file the rear sight notch in the direction you want yer ball to fly.be carefull,though,a little fileing goes a long way.

 

[hogshead]

Best to file or send back and get target model.
