Gun is sold. Mods please close

Im selling an 1851 stainless colt. Theyre very rare and were only made for a short run in the early 80s. Its used and doesnt come with box but is in great shape and extremely smooth action, it has like new pristine rifling...deep and fast twist. Im asking $650, if you run a search these guns...

I had already purchased the gun on modern muzzleloader forum...the one with the scope from user Nit Wit. Ive had it over a week already..

Still looking for a stainless lyman deerstalker if anyone has one they would like to sell or trade for. Already got they grey hawk

Heres what the "forever" hand spring set up looks like before the end is curled and adjusted to what the gun prefers. Its lots of work but well worth it.

I drill and tap and then use a stainless screw. I also have thin diameter plain stainless rods that i tap screw threads on and use that instead of a screw. Just depends on the gun. I dont stop there though, i also adjust the cam and bolt legs for utilize more of the downward force of the hammers...

I think Mike has great videos with lots of helpful info. Im sure lots of black powder enthusiasts would agree that hes a wealth of information. I dont worship him and dont know anyone who really does...but he is a man well deserved of positive reviews, and we support him with them. I dont think...

Great video! Its crazy how much heat the barrel obsorbs when from a black powder burn that is only in the barrel for a fraction of a second. That must be some extreme heat to be able to heat up a barrel that fast.

Sorry i meant cap POST, not rake. I use aftermarket nipples mainly for fitment issues ...but stock nipples will work just as good if you can figure out the fitment issies they have. Usually you can shorten the cone to allow the cap to fall lower on the taper for a tighter fit.

My cure for cap jams and fouling/cap fragments falling into the works and jamming up thee gun... Its a cap rake and hammer sheild.

I tune/slick up lots of cap n ball revolvers and i have to admit that piettas are my favorite to tune by far...especially the 2015 and newer. The ones from 2017 and above are usually quitr supurb. I have worked a handful of 2021 models and their parts and timing were the best u have seen. Pietta...

I did a write up on how i make caps in a different forum. Those interestes can check it out. I make some using roll caps a specific way and the old FA-42 and H-48 priming formula. Heres the link. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/how-i-make-hot-percussion-caps.849353/

I use Ballistol with distilled water to get rid of surface fouling etc. But if i want a good deep clea i use a cleaner from the dollar stores call "LA Totally Awesome". Since most of the lubes we use are a mix of oils and wax..when it mixes with fouling it gets stuck in the pores of the metal...

Would you trade for a rare Stainless steel colt 1851? Its worth more than the gun but have no use for it.

Would you consider trades for cap and ball revolvers that are highly customized and set up for competition? New gun, come with cap post to prevent cap jams, hammer sheild to prevent fouling and cap fragments from falling into the action, two peice torsion bolt and trigger spring to replace the...

Would you consider a .45 t/c hawken or perhaps a customized open top built for competition?

thanks again everyone! Ive been going through the forum reading up on previous posts. Great stuff!

Looking to sell?

I just purchased a grey hawk from a forum member in .50 cal, would have been interested in the .54 though lol. What condition is your grey hawk? The only thing i have now that fall within the price of a grey hawk is a lyman .36 cal navy (these are rare with fast twist barrels and chamber...
