1851 navy

First time post. Looking for 1851 new london .36 cal navy, 7-1/2”. Checked all on-line sales outlets.

Email EMF and ask to be put on the waiting list for their London model. I bought one last year from them when one trickled in.

Trust me, you want this gun. They are superb.

How about an 1851 snub nose?

YES Pietta is great.

I just purchased an Uberti 1851 London from Midway last month. They didn't have them in stock when I was looking so I clicked the "notify me" when in stock button. It took a couple of months but they did get them in.

Welcome to the board, josebob ! !

I am very pleased with my Uberti 1851 London.

I also have a Uberti 1851 with a short barrel, which I also like very much.

The barrels interchange between the two revolvers, and I like to shoot with a detachable stock sometimes. I added the lanyard ring to the grip frame shortly after I bought the gun last summer.

where can one buy those detachable stocks?

 

[B P Arn]

That is a bit of a problem these days. Everyone is out of everything.

where can one buy those detachable stocks?

Midway USA, Buffalo Arms, Dixie, Midsouth, Gun Broker, Cabellas ... lotza places.

yep I do and they are a hoot to shoot, but you need a cylinder loading press because there is no loading lever. Got snubbies in both .44 and .36 caliber. They are not target guns they are can rolling fun guns.

I picked up a cap and ball Cattleman as a prop/paperweight and cannibalized the blued steel grip for use on my Leech & Rigdon. Now I have what is essentially a round-barreled 1851 Navy with London-style grips.

Just for comparison, an older London 1851. Left loaded until the 30s it still fired.

Until my stop spring broke, my Pietta 1851 '44 cal snubbie I made (brass frame, 3" barrel plow handle grip), was a close shooter at 25 yards, offhand. I miss packing it in the woods and on the place, but I need to get it fixed. I mounted a new taller brass pin sight and sighted it in at 25 yards. Surely is a handy piece, and I love mine.
