    Pietta 1851 noobie first impressions

    I am a noobie to muzzle loading but not to firearms. Got the Pietta 1851 in the mail yesterday. Bought the cheapest new case hardened 1851 I could find. I was gifted a colt gen 3 1851 and didn't want to bugger it so hence I bought this. If my colt is a 10, and my Uberti 1873 Cattleman 45 LC...

    I need tools?

    Dumb question please, It is mostly flatheads with these types of arms? If so, does that hold true for the modern repros? Chapmans look good. Thanks Wheelman

    I need tools?

    Sorry, I was referring to the Grace. So buy the biggest Wheeler gunsmith set I can get? That doesn't sound like a bad plan. I ordered a nipple tool for the revolvers. Not sure if I need a different one for the rifle. I will hopefully know this Friday. Also, thinking of getting a...

    I need tools?

    Thanks After reading what all the interweb eggsperts have to say, my concern is "they don't make em like they used to" Might be worth buying an old set when the metal was still strong?
