    SOLD CVA Hawken percussion lock - $50 shipped

    Hey necchi, I just clicked on the picture I posted because it's actually a full album that's supposed to be there which had a dozen pictures but it does not want to load. I am sorry for the technical issues. The lock measures about 5" long, I'm honestly not sure if it goes to the Kentucky or...

    SOLD CVA Hawken percussion lock - $50 shipped

    I have a CVA lock for sale for $50 shipped. Good condition wtih signs of use with minor freckling or surface rust discoloration and works just fine. It measures about 5" long and I believe it goes to the earlier CVA model Hawken rifle because of the flat spring. I think in later years in the...

    How did American forces reload in battle?

    I was wondering about this the other day. For irregular forces like the militia who used their own rifles and were not issued paper cartridges, how did they measure powder for reloads in the heat of battle? Did they really take the time to put powder from the flask into a charge measure before...

    Source for Uberti spare parts?

    The spring broke on my Uberti 1860 hand pawl. I am having a hard time finding a replacement, there aren't too many vendors and the ones I find are out of stock. Do you guys have any sources? I have found a couple of vendors selling ones for Pietta 1860s, can they be modified to fit without too...

    Help with 1851 Navy mechanical issue

    You are right I think part of the issue is the hammer is not falling all the way forward, I have it in my hand and I was just fiddling with this and noticed when I am "wiggling" the hammer to try again and cock, there is a very slight "click" that happens as I push it forward again, then the...

    Help with 1851 Navy mechanical issue

    I know it's hard to diagnose issues without seeing the problem in person, but does anyone here have any thoughts on where I can start with a binding issue on my Pietta 1851 .44? The problem is as follows: while dry cycling it unloaded, every so often after the hammer is down and I go to recock...

    Pietta 1851 .36 Navy Chrono Data

    I wonder if your max powder loads are slower than lesser loads because of gas escape breaking the seal of the ball and barrel?

    Shooting Pietta Navies with red toy caps

    The caps of today are nothing like the ones years ago today's caps are wimpy. This experiment would be interesting to carry out again comparing the modern caps to vintage ones.

    Thank you, this is the one I will be buying for my newer Pietta 1858 as well. The cylinder I am offering for sale is different, it is an older model which has dimensional differences noted above, and is discontinued and not available from commercial retailers to my knowledge. I listed it...

    SOLD Pietta 1858 .44 cylinder w/ new nipples - $60 shipped

    I just measured the width of the bolt locking notch on this particular cylinder at .140" wide. This is in contrast to my very recent production 1858 Pietta Army cylinder which measures at .160" wide. Hope this helps settle any confusion. I listed this here thinking there might be someone out...
