    Pietta revolvers yes or no

    I have three 1858 Remington Piettas, and they all work fine. I even use one with an .45 Long Colt R&D conversion cylinder with no problems.

    touch hole: when to use vent pick

    I usually clean mine in between every couple of shots, it never hurts, and it can mean the difference between a little poof of smoke in the pan, or a loud boom coming from the front end. :) But you do want to clean the hole with an empty pan. :)

    TC Hawkins .50 manufacture dates?

    Your post caught me like a magnet, and now I'm wondering the same thing about mine. I also have a .50 TC Hawkins flinter. I got mine at a gun show. The guy had 4 TC Hawkins on his rack, three cap and one flint. When I left his table he only had 3 cap Hawkins left, I had the flint. I paid $150.00...

    More Flintlock Troubles

    Actually, I don't see the sense of whittlin' a wooden flint. Some of the flinch factor comes from the fear of the flash. When I want to "play" with my Kentucky's or my Hawken, I'll put a light load in the pan and Poof Fire it a couple of times. Since I'm not putting anything down the barrel, I...

    4f in a C/B?

    4f in a flashpan produces a poof, 4f in a chamber produces a hand bomb. Would you burn nitro in the family Toyota? Pustic

    Load only five of six chambers?

    I carry and shoot an 1858 Remington and I always load all six chambers, even if I use my R&D conversion cylinder, all six are loaded. I just put the hammer in a safety notch and don't worry about. I've never had any problems. Pustic

    Flintlock vs. Caplock?

    Chad, Save yourself the trouble of going and finding a flintlock to test to see if you'll like, just get the flinter, you will like, no, you'll love it. I love all three of mine. Besides, all the guns Americans killed the Red Coats with were flintlocks. Enjoy your new rifle. Pustic

    loading the 1858 Remington Army ?

    Ok, here's what you may be doing wrong, your half cock. When I do mine, I never go to half cock, not at all. Put the cylinder in place and bring the hammer back just enough to let the cylinder fall into the frame, slide the pin back in, put the lever home, cock and shoot. When you have your...

    Brass frame Question

    I have five Remingtons and three are brass frames, one I've had now for around 40 years, and the only problem I have with that is the hand spring. One of my Remingtons is a brass frame Bison, the buntline, and it makes for a fine hunting gun. When I shoot or hunt with it, I usually use 30 grns...

    Unmarked New Army Replica

    Well, I was able to date four of my Remingtons, my Richland Arms Remington doesn't have any date markings, but I gained possession of it back in the middle 1970's. Pustic

    revolver lube

    I have never greased the front of my cylinders, never, and I have five '58 Remingtons. I do however, use wads, and I've never had a bit of problem.... yet. :grin: I have been told by an old shooter that it really not needed if loaded properly, but he also mentioned that automotive bearing...

    why do we use wads in bp revolvers?

    Amen, you said it best of all, If lubricant was for SAFETY, the owner’s manual would of said so. I use wads, but I've never creased the front end and never had a problem. Yet. :grin: Pustic

    why do we use wads in bp revolvers?

    I've been told by someone a while back that some automotive greases work real good and won't run in the heat. Would Bearing Grease work? Just wondering. Pustic
