Congrats on you hand cannon. Yours must be a good one with tight tolerances since the loading lever is not down after firing. Who made the pistol Uberti or ASM? Long Johns Wolf

Armi san Marco (ASM) was the only manufacturer of the 3rd Model Dragoon with the folding rear sight. The yoke of the ASM Dragoon stock is made of blued steel not of brass like the Navy 51/61 or Army 1860 replica version. In addition to this common version with 7,5" barrel they did one with an...

Lighter ball will shoot lower with the same load of BP. Long Johns Wolf

Congrats on your new pistol. To lower POI you can try a lighter ball with the same loads but the impact is probably marginal only. To get POA and POI closer together you may want to consider a new higher front sight. From a piece of brass I would machine a new one, approx. 2 mm higher. These...

If I recall rightly the first revolver of the Dragoon family of pistols made by Uberti was the Walker, in the 1960s. For detailed info, suggest you check back with Suzanne Webb of Uberti in Gardone [email protected] In another context she recently confirmed that Uberti started...

Yes, Sir. Long Johns Wolf

This is not to correct but... according to my list 2004 = BU 2005 = BZ 2006 = CA 2007 = CB Long Johns Wolf

Thanks Zonie. The Belgian manufacturer Fabriques d'Armes Unies de Liège terminated production of all guns, i.e. muzzloaders & highend shotguns early summer 1977. The C&B revolver production was terminated already before 1977, assumed to be around 1975.Rumor has it that they continued as...

Zonie: could you let me have the text of that Nonte reference from the 1969 Black Powder Guide Shooters Bible as a scan (email under my profile) or fax (+49-6192-901293) for my "Belgian Colt" library, please? Much obliged, Long Johns Wolf

Further models of the Belgian Colts have been identified. # Only one model has been encountered with 7,5" barrel, dubbed Cavalry Model in Europe: fluted cylinder, 4-screw frame, serials with "F" prefix. The 4th screw functions to stabilize the shoulder-stock. Probably only a few hundreds were...

Howdy pards: further 8" model variations of the Belgian, finishes other than blue/cch: # Centaures with fully fluted cylinder, 3-screw frame with recoil shield and backstrap cut for stock, high gloss polish/"in the white" finish were produced from around 1972, very rare in the USA, quite common...

Howdy pards interested in the Belgian Colt Army aka Centaure, etc. Since I cannot load pics from my files I have to write. Below is a list of known models/variations today, sorted by barrel length. 3 basis models are known. This is an extract from the draft of my final article. 8" barrel, 6...

Well, thank you kindly for the warm welcome! Give me a shout when you are in the neighbourhood. Long Johns Wolf

Zonie: thanks for the kind words. My primary shooting interest is with replicas of early cartridge pistols, conversions and OTs, and Henries, all in .44 Colt caliber. I shoot the holy black in my 1988 ASP/Colt 1860 because she is made from stainless steel which is forgiving in the cleaning...

FVR: your Centaure pistols has a screw that looks like a trigger stop. If it can be proven that it is factory original you got yourself a rare, possibly unique pistol. If someone could tell me how to attach pics to my post I will gladly share with you the description of models and variations of...

Thanks W.T. for the kind introduction. If any of you pards is a happy owner of one of these fine Belgian Colts, aka Centennial Colts, aka "1960 NEW MODEL ARMY" as my American pards call them, or Centaure as we know these C&B revolvers in Europe, and would care to have it included in my research...

Howdy to the campfire. Being new here I'd like to introduce myself. I'm a German cowboy born to be wild Sept 11, 1946. Been hitched since 1973. My Wolf-gang includes one daughter and Willie the dog. We live near Frankfurt/Germany. Favorite guns are Uberti OTs, my steel frame Henry all loaded...
