I love side slapper and underhammer rifles, but that all metal (?) goofy one - not as much.

I don't think you should take any metal off that cylinder at all, or send it back either. After shooting with it a few times the gap will probably open up to .003 - .004 anyway. If it fits and turns good now, don't mess with it.

I have a Navy Arms Rem. that was made in the early 1960's. It says A. Uberti on the bottom flat of the barrel, hidden by the loading lever.

I bought 35 cal. balls for my Numrich underhammer pistol from Track of the Wolf.

Has it been fired? Did he shoot it?

If the cap pops the problem is somewhere in the path leading to the powder. If the cap don't pop, the hammer isn't hitting it right. A more detailed description of the problem would help.

Now that caps and powder have become available again, messing around with these guns is a lot more fun. We should be glad there are the Italian reproductions being made - they really are a good quality gun for the money.

What gorgeous country! Makes eastern Wisconsin look pretty bland.

Ol Rosie might have been a good lookin gal in her time, but................

Yow! That's the ugliest hood ornament I've ever seen!

I had my doubts about that being Colt's design or intention, but you found very definite proof. Thanks!

Greetings from another place in Wisconsin! Near Road America race track.

I would love to go there someday. I was actually in Cody when I was 15 years old but wouldn't have known about the museum. I have a picture of me and my sister standing on a big statue of Buffalo Bill. We were on our way to the Seattle World's Fair in 1962 from here in Wisconsin. 8 of us in a...

Bill Cody was born in 1846 so if that picture is from 1871, he was 25 years old. Sort of a goofy picture, I wonder where and why it was taken.

In the epistemology dept. (wow - now that's a new word for me!) - what evidence is there that is more expensive to produce the top strap type over the open type? The Uberti and Pietta reproductions cost approximately the same. Taylors shows some cartridge models (mostly out of stock) also for...

In the early photograph systems, they didn't have the negatives which then got printed into pictures like we had with film cameras. The picture they ended up with was the negative - in other words things looked backwards. Like a civil war picture of a soldier with a belt buckle that should say...

Cold fusion is a great comparison! It don't work and never did.

As long as you use something better than plain old soft solder it should be ok. Make sure every bit of oil or dirt is cleaned off.

I had the catch on my 1960's Navy Arms Remington fall off a long time ago. I hard soldered it back on but don't remember what I used. The flux ran down and around the barrel and messed up the bluing bad. Tried touching it up with cold blue, and after all these years it still looks like crap...

I wonder what kind of mainspring it has. It needs a trigger guard and a different grip. Just getting rid of that pointed bottom and square it off would help.
