I should have been a little more specific on that post when I advised drilling a hole. On most of the trigger/bolt springs the gap between the trigger and bolt leaves/springs, what ever is the proper term is for the most part a proper gap. Down where they meet at the gap, if the metal is...

Ya know, I started reading this thread at the start but quit as I don't sit around and worry about this and that reference the general point of this thread. I have more guns and guitars, tools also that I really need, but don't worry about what's going to happen to them after the Lord decides...

Glad to see this thread resurrected, always enjoyed the information contained in it. Great movie (the last one), sort of like Outlaw Josey Wales, never get tired of watching it even though you know what happens throughout the movie. Every time I do watch L of the M, I get all fired up to grab a...

Well, I mentioned the 1860 Army in my other post (#14), did so as I is one of the most popular, graceful, thought of, and if tuned and run right, one of the most reliable. It is a 44 and the OP did advise he wanted a 44. Ifin a 36 was wanted, either the '51 or '61 Navy. As I mentioned, if not...

My vote goes to an 1860 Army, but handle both the Colts and a Remington, shoot if possible. Ifin I were to have only one it would be my 2nd Model Dragoon. If ya like the Colts and don't mind the weight, one of the four Dragoon Models would be a good choice.

Well at least you had the shag carpet to kinda take some of the bite outa a jack, back in the 80's I stepped on one in the dark on a tiled floor that didn't give at all. My kids after playing with them missed one when picking up. That metal jack embedded itself into my foot. Was limping for a while.

I've bought two batches from Justin (3rd on the way) and its great stuff, casts great balls for my MZ loaders and lead bullets for my Colt conversions using blk powder. Test's 5-6 BHN with my lead hardness tester. CC

If I could take a picture of mine it would be my two hands, the left and right one. I like loading as black powder firearms were designed to be loaded. I'm sure back in the day at some uppity range they used loading stands but in order to reload six (five if need be) or even one, I don't care to...

Great link Grenadier---Saw Mako's percussion cap thread some years back on CAS Forum. Have mentioned it a number of times here on this forum but never really posted it as a link, just described where to find it and posted a picture of the cap chart. Computer gymnastics isn't my best asset to...

Been there, had alot of it happen!!!!!! Lost the cylinder latch spring on a revolver once, still looking for it. Very small out of a small frame Colt, luckelly area gun shop had an extra one laying around at no charge. Magnetic bowls, flat tupperware containers work well when messing with...

Good move 'brazosland'! Alot of good information on styles that I've wondered about myself. Never saw this thread in the times I was 'in the way back machine' reading older threads.

deleted post, messed up on posting:doh:

Rich44, that appears to be a original with alot of gray hairs or a repo that has had a hard life and been rode hard and put away wet. 😂😂

OK, but the way you penned it impressed me as though it was something that was told to you or you read somewhere and you were asking anyone if it was something anyone was aware of or had heard about. Back in 2010 I walked along a local river in early February one Sunday afternoon shooting a...

🤔 Where in the world did that thought come from Captain? That's the first I've ever heard anything about that. I've been shooting Italian replica's since '72, have read numerous books and articles on them, have been on alot of forums, and have read alot of internet this and that about Uberti's...

IMO the best part of the deal was that Bianchi X-15 shoulder holster. One of the finest if not the finest shoulder holster ever made. I have four of them. One for short barrel revolvers, two for around 4", and one for longer barreled hoglegs. Used them through out my 21 year LEO career, balance...

Good grief-that would be considered a heat wave during the winter here in North Iowa. As has been suggested dress warm, fingerless wool gloves- the one's with the attached flappers to put over your fingers are nice. I wear a pair of polypropylene gloves under the fingerless gloves at times (when...

Ah good grief Mike, you're not that far away from me. I get my Kibler SMR done I'll drive down some afternoon and let ya shoot it so as you can get the fever. OR just order a Kibler kit for yourself and shoot it, you may not have as much temptation to sell it. Just a thought! :)

Hey Justin, I'll take this lead. Sending ya PM. CC

Checked back on the CAS forum reference your spring problems. One of the members who claims he's a retired gunsmith, but he still works on guns yet, advised that the Pietta springs are softer than Uberti's. Softer meaning not as stiff of a feel. His recommendation is for anyone with a Uberti...
