for any interested

Also the 1860 army 5 3/8" barrel half-fluted model is on sale for $330 (cheaper than the brass-framed variant currently).
 
I see Uberti has jumped on the Pietta history doesn't mean squat bandwagon.
it is not important to anyone other than a purist... they are like vegans- aren't happy tom do what they do they often demand others do as "they" choose and whine and cry when others make and enjoy different choices- news flash most shooters do not give a rats ass about "historically correct- I sure as hell do not!

I am a purist but I don't whine and cry about what anybody else likes. I'll often bring it up if something isn't correct tho. Especially if it's a new shooter and doesn't know.

Well I hate it when someone who doesn’t give a rats ass about HC (or when someone mentions that a replica revolver isn’t even remotely close to the originals) whinges about it on a forum dedicated to the use of replica firearms. Burns my buttocks…

some thing that i shoot and enjoy is one thing, but when i want a repo 1860 army like several of my GAR relitives carried in the civil war, i want it to be as near to a original 1860 army colt revolver with out the high cost of a original.

funny this is just a blackpowder forum not a re enactor or period correct forum... your post is invalid here bud...
 
To be ignorant of and indifferent toward history is childlike. It’s like living in a perpetual childhood. It really is.
not really... this is not a forum on replicas only- it is a general purpose black powder group... not ignorant of history
 
Well my first two pistols were a old army and a brass frame. I never gave a tinkers dam about history at 14. It now sounds like all of my guns are wrong and I should leave. I should find a place more about blackpowder and not historically correct arms.

Nobody is saying that or even insinuating it. You don't rag on us and I don't recall anybody ragging on you.
 
@Rustmangler you’ve been around long enough to know that we talk about everything and anything here. You, your opinions and your guns are valuable.
 
Ok thanks just started to wonder...my pistols, Rifles and Canons are not historically correct.
 
My cannons aren't historically correct. In fact one of them hasn't even been built yet. I have a brass frame Remington that was given to me after my guns were stolen and I have a non historical CVA Hawken even tho I've only fired it one time. I don't shoot it mainly because of the caliber not because it isn't correct.
 
some of my non correct BP rifles are tc,s and i love them, to me they were the best bang for the buck and i wish they were still being made. these three are small framed cap locks in .32-.36-.45.

My CVA Mountain rifles are as much fun to shoot as any other black powder rifle I have ever shot. What more do you need. I do prefer my pistols to be on the right side of HC but don't worry about anyone who doesn't care. It's all fun. Shoot what you like.
