Greetings from Virginia, I’m new to joining the forum, been reading it for a while. Lots of good information. I have several black powder pistols, want to get into rifles.
Never knew much about firearms, let alone black powder rifles/revolvers. My parents came into some decent land, and invited me to give them a whirl. Naturally I had a blast, and possibly got too eager with purchasing my own black powder revolvers. When the weather warms up I’ll definitely be out...
As the title states, I'm lookin for a pietta 51' navy squareback guard! Attached here is a photo of it. I've asked VTI, Taylor's, and searched ebay for a long time now with no success. I'd greatly appreciate any help or any sales! Thank you.

This spring I purchased a 1st model Uberti Dragoon from a very nice gentleman member here. And I thought some of you folks might enjoy some pictures and stories from my time with the big horse pistol.
I have really gotten to know my Dragoon this summer while packing her around the ranch...
