Can't testify about the originals but those short handled brass molds made mostly in Italy with a round and conical IMO are nothing but impulse buying for new shooters of cap and balls thinking they will suffice. The manufacturers and sellers I believe count on that. I bought one back in '72...

I have the Pietta US Marshall 44 caliber which is basically the same as the Sheriff but with a polished engraved steel surface finish. I'm a 44 fan vs the 36 caliber and have always preferred the longer barreled cap and ball revolvers but I will say that the 4 3/4" barreled US Marshall is very...

I see no reason to keep a cap and ball revolver loaded for long periods. WHY??? If anyone is doing it for self defense and/or critter control there is a multitude of firearms (unmentionable's) that are better suited to take care of any two or four legged critter that are light years ahead in...

Unless yer shooting an unaltered Remington copy or a Ruger Old Army, after using that snail capper you'll never want to use any straight-line capper again. Hate loading those things, you can fill a snail capper and shot all day if you fill it.

I assume you are referring to the Colt 1860 Signature Model. As far as I'm aware of they take the same as the 2nd and any other Uberti made 1860. Check Track of the Wolf's site and the percussion nipple section. Track gives info on just about every percussion revolver/rifle required nipple...

High fives to Jim Kibler and crew for getting a much wanted flint fowler ready for orders and eventually sending to buyers. Maybe someday I'll make the plunge when I get caught up with a multitude of projects. I don't mean what I'm going to say in any mean, abusive, combative, demeaning way but...

Check the sources given you when you asked about your 60 Army. Spelled Slixshot--not slick. The most common reference to 36 balls is .375, many use that, but I use a .380" ball with better results and many have penned the same. I cast for my needs, but buy a box of both .375 and .380 and see...

FWIW Taylors and Cimarron also offer screw's and replacement sets for Uberti/Pietta revolvers. I got some from them cheaper than VTI. The difference between Rem 10 and CCI 11's is that the skirt of the Rem 10's is longer than the CCI 11's. This helps in the retention of the cap before and after...

Taylors offers both 'Made by' Pietta and Uberti depending on model, percussion or cartridge). Cimarron used to be Uberti only but in last few years has offered those made by Pietta also. Not sure, but I think that models offered except for real early years of the percussion replica manufacture...

Not to trash using epoxy thinners in any way, some may need it depending on what the epoxy is being used for, but if using the regular Brownell's Acraglas (not the Acraglas gel) for bedding a barrel channel, in my opinion and experience with it, it really doesn't need thinning. You put the...

Brownell's sells the floc for $10 for a bag. I bought some years ago and haven't even used half of it. The amount Brownell's sells would probably be equal to stuffing an average size sandwich bag 'to the gills'. One thing that has gotten terrible is postage. A ten-dollar item such as the bag of...

While this thread dates back to Sept/23, guess its still relevant as the OP recently posted. I have a Remington Uberti, although it is 44 caliber, I bought it back around 1985. I checked the nipple thread of the original nipples and they are 6.75"mm. Checking the charts on Track of the Wolf's...

I've never noticed any of Cimarrons Uberti's being any different than the ones marketed by Uberti except for the Cimarron stamped address. In fact believe they are better . On another forum a member who worked at Cimarron advised otherwise once stating Cimarron wants the best quality as possible...

Check the archies by searching, other posts have came up before about this problem. Here's the last one where I and others posted about the issue. I'd quote whole thread but not sure how to do. It can be found on page 4 of this section 'Handguns', a little past halfway down titled 'Uberti...

Mobile-1 works very well (I do use it), but when the temperature gets down there (and I'm saying ice makin temps, plus/minus) forget about it. It stays sorta tacky but gets stiff. I've used white lithium grease for alota years on my capper arbors (even innards) and it doesn't get stiff like...

That was my thought before I scrolled down and read L Dave's post.

Guess yer satisfied with getting damaged goods then, Midway and other sellers of goods love customers with your satisfied attitude of getting damaged new products and not standing up to your rights. Has nothing to do with degrees you have or your pastorship, well and good you have them and are a...

I would also advise Midway if it were me of the amount of business I've given them since way back in the early 90's. I had to do that with a well-known online/walk-in retailer (similar to Midway) once on a defective product. The customer service gal on the phone I guess thought she was saving...

If it were me, I'd be on the phone demanding a return, if the operator plays the corporate 'no return' play line, I'd demand to talk to her boss, maybe even up to Larry Potterfield himself. No excuse for sending a buyer something in that condition if it is rust. As 'Sam' posted, sure it isn't...

FWIW BG my take on his post was he was referring to your metal cap making die as this thread is about your metal cap making die kit not the plastic cap making printer. Also have you measured the inside diameter and the length of skirt on what you refer to #10's and #11"s? As I advised in other...
