    NEW Midway Pietta 1860 in Army Question

    What Gee said... Pietta's don't suffer from short arbor syndrome. With that wedge driven in firmly with a nylon mallet, it's not going anywhere.

    Hi, Pat! You're a ways off from your usual stomping grounds. Great to have you here!

    Re-vamp the site?

    I also ignore the classifieds. Every time I go there it costs me money, buying things I never knew I needed until there it is, staring me in the face. Even if I don't go there, they hunt me down like a **** hound.

    High praise for Two Feathers

    I have a .54 roundballs bag he made and it's slicker than a greased pig.

    New Folk Firearms Collective video

    From what I've read, there are only two repros that have been made and the cost to make them was astronomical.

    Grease in Revolver

    Thank you kindly for the nod, sir. Been doing this BP revolver thing a long time, and never too old to learn.

    Grease in Revolver

    As a former totally dedicated "rip and strip" guy after every outing...with every gun...I've found the synthetic Mobil 1 grease Mike uses works very well, and as mentioned, only needs clean-out and replacing maybe once a year...at your leisure, and not the same day you shoot the gun. Saves a ton...

    Grease in Revolver

    Bear in mind that when packed full with Mobil 1 (as Mike likes to do) it's very difficult for any fouling to get past the grease.

    Birchwood Caseys Perma Blue

    I have found Oxpho Blue (the gel form) to do a much better job than Perma Blue, and last longer as well. Brownell's carries it. Before use, wipe the part down with denatured alcohol and warm it up.

    Uberti deceiving arbor fit

    Disappointments in this life

    Too much cylinder/barrel gap? Hammer pushing the cylinder forward? Or bad caps. Check to see if the primer compound has fallen out.

    Starr revolver discoveries

    As an owner of a Pietta SA, another thing I've noticed is the Pietta bolt head is larger than the cylinder notches and quickly peens the edges over. After viewing a number of originals on line, you can see they were more oval shaped and probably worked way better. If you're going to make a...

    You're catching on, my friend.

    Are cap rakes really necessary or a solution in search of any real problem ?

    I'd give it a whirl.

    Are cap rakes really necessary or a solution in search of any real problem ?

    I am privy to owning one of Mike's guns with both the cap rake and action shield, as well as a few with just the rake. I've had nary a smidge of trouble with any of them. I'm sold.

    Confederate Revolvers

    The major issue with with the topic is it always seems to end up in a barroom brawl that gets many a good thread shut down, and many a good member given the old heave-ho. Just sayin'.
