Thank you, yes I bought some of those.However the instructions said that it could use .38 Short Colt as well, probally due to length, and they do fit , but the bullet is just too small, so I was told about Sleeving, witch Howell conversions offers that sleeving service.However the woman from...

Ok thank you for replying , i just bought a Pietta 1861 Navy as well as a Kirst Cartridge conversion setup, ejector rod..etc..and it appears that the .38 Special bullets kind of swim in the bore Also what is your turnaround time for an 1851 Navy, fully modded

Hi Mike i wanted to ask, do you do barrel lining ?

Could i ask what the turnaround time was in one

Those are Beautiful Guns

That sounds great, im still waiting for my LTC, so I think this will be a good idea to protect my investment…in that i can do what I wanted origionally, and actually shoot these.The “F” Series Dragoon is pretty tight, and I’m very impressed with its build, and think it would be a very nice...

Thats cool…I almost bought that set, I got my plain 2nd Gen 1851 “ C” series because I did not want the “Commemorative markings on the side of the gun.Although beautiful..I wanted it to be like I went back in time and bought one of these..as close as possible anyway…so what im doing is having...

Ok, so i finally took apart my 1973 Colt “C” Series 1851 Navy, and this gun does in fact have a short Arbor, or hole drilled too deep.Just as well, the drill broke through, into the ramrod channel, like a pic you showed me Mike. The wedge was also, a little tough to get out, and when i finally...

I would like to add, in regards to making your own percussion Caps, using the Die that .22 reloader sells.Just to share a personal finding. I read a post, were a person talked about using Sheets of Brass ,instead of sheets of processed Soda Cans, to use as material for making the caps, and with...

Mike, Im not submitting my claims , to inform people that these pieces don’t suffer from this problem, regarding a Short Arbor..lol.. I clearly explained, this as well if you read my reply.In that while this issue is largely talked about in this community , what is also talked about is the...

What would you like to see? Exactly..I know it may be hard to believe..lol..but it is what it is.As i have looked around on this topic, there have apparently been other examples that had a longer than needed Arbor…or an example that is done exact. To be honest, it’s really not that serious..you...

Of course she was impressed.Thats a beautiful gun.Im going after one of those next. I was checking out my 2nd Gen Dragoon again, tonight and it appears I got lucky Maby Ivan Johnson , did this one right since they are gun builders, but the tip of my Arbor is in fact hitting home.As i made a...

Yeah, I hear you,..anyway sorry I didn’t catch it in your pic at first , but I can’t show a pic that way, because my Arbor hole is not broken through like that But anyway..yeah the reason I’m measuring and testing is so that , I can of course be sure if my Arbor is in fact bottoming out or...

Awsome pic, i wont be taking the loading rod off, however I am going to check it more once I have time.However the depth of the hole of the barrel, ..soo far seemed to match pretty tight depth wise per where I marked the Arbor itself, with the barrel installed. I also noticed that, the face of...

Ok, So my 1978 Colt “F” Series 3RD Model Dragoon, came in yesturday.It is absolutely beautifully made.I was able to get it apart,to clean it a bit, as it had some hard chunks of black gritty grease, between the nipples..etc…in my machine shop. I then , checked the Arbor fit.I noticed that there...

Yes, i didnt take into account that the Arbor is taperd, so when I tried fitting the barrel on without a cylinder, and it stopped, prematurely,..I got excited for a second. It was late, and I work from 2pm, to 1AM is when I attempted this

I wanted to update this post.As i have just started Buying these pieces, and getting heavily into them, I did not realize that this is apparently normal…these crack marks behind the trigger on the frame, are apparently the Arbour Showing through? And this frame is normal. I just don’t want to...

So , looking over this Uberti Whitneyville Dragoon, that im sending back, I decided to check the Arbour length, and it is actually on the long side…With the barrel slid all the way down, there is still a small gap between the barrel…Would this be considerd a positive? Since I assume the tip of...

Soo,..I just got my LTC, so I started buying pieces. I always wanted, and like any hobby once I go in, I go extreme Soo, i am willing to learn anything you care to tell me. With that said…My Second Gen Colt Dragoon, apparently has a short Arbour as well? I read that it’s a hit or miss thing...

So that’s normal? If so then I stand corrected…However the hammer still would only cock back half way, and get stuck due to burrs on the inside of the hammer slot sticking out and digging into it Also,my Dragoon is not soo much, as obvious as that…yours , or that pic looks almost...
