    Hi JR . You said you do a complete tear down when cleaning after shooting your 1858 Uberti . How many ball's do you fire before you wipe down the cylinder pin ? Also how many ball's do you fire before you call it a day ? Do you ever worry about chain firing ? Big Z .

    How many shots fired before cleaning my 1858 new army .44 cal pietta ?

    How many shots can I fire before I have to do some cleaning ? Can I do a quick swab after a couple of cylinders , or do I have to do a total break down and cleaning ? By the way the pistol is C&B and I may be using pyrodex . Any suggestions are welcome . Big Z .
