    Uberti or Pietta 1858 Remington .44 With 5 1/2” Barrel.

    I have a Pietta 1858. I have two bp cylinders as well as an RD conversion cylinder. With the 45 Colt RD cylinder, I can print one ragged hole at POA at about 10 yards. This gun is one of the finest revolvers (modern or replica) that I own. Trooper Joe

    Pietta 1860 score today

    I came up with this concept of "seasoning" the bore from the advise I found on the net. It seemed like a good idea, so I tried it. The advise was to use something like bore butter before you shoot the gun. It allegedly makes clean up easier. I just tried it on my new 1851 Navy and it seemed...

    The tale of my new Uberti 1851 Navy

    Just went to the range today and fired 5 rounds. Group could be covered with a quarter at 25 feet. Had to use .380 ball (.357 actually would not stay in the chamber). Used CCI #10 and 20 grains of Goex Black Powder FFFG. I pushed the #10 caps on with a wooden dowel and had no problems with...

    The tale of my new Uberti 1851 Navy

    I just found this great forum and this is my first post. I just bought a new Uberti 1851 from Dixie Gun Woks and it is beautiful. However, even when I first took it out of the box (it was shipped direct to my home – how neat is that?), I found that the wedge was very loose (could be moved...
