Was this gun in stock? How long did you have to wait?
When I purchased mine it was the first day of a sale by EMF. I didn't realize it then but EMF is the authorized distributor for pietta in the states.Was this gun in stock? How long did you have to wait?
Getting ANY percussion revolvers out of Italy is extremely difficult right now.
Production and importation has/had all but come to a full halt. Virtually every seller of these guns is awaiting stock. I ordered a Pietta London Navy months ago and a couple weeks back got a call from the EMF company saying just one example just arrived from Italy. Great folks to deal with. Here is mine:

I got the bug for an 1860 Army about a month ago, and I’m impatiently waiting for my permit to come in, as well as the pistols themselves becoming available. I’m hoping that all comes together by the fall....hopingGetting ANY percussion revolvers out of Italy is extremely difficult right now.

By permit do you mean the FFL check? If so, that may be a while. Not sure but I think they were doing only 10 per location submitted per day.I got the bug for an 1860 Army about a month ago, and I’m impatiently waiting for my permit to come in, as well as the pistols themselves becoming available.

New Jersey Handgun permit. I know, NJ is ridiculous. Autumn can’t come fast enough...hopefully 2021 is a better yearBy permit do you mean the FFL check? If so, that may be a while. Not sure but I think they were doing only 10 per location submitted per day.
I am also definitely interested in an 1860 as well. Going to wait for the panic buying to die down.
Remember when we said 2020 was going to be a great year. Lies.

BP Arn well now I know why you must be the guy we're buying all our pistols from! Lol.Ha!!! 2020 has been one of the best years of my life, and I have had a great life!
Our lovely BP guns will be back....TP is on the shelves again, so the BP stuff will be too.I got the bug for an 1860 Army about a month ago, and I’m impatiently waiting for my permit to come in, as well as the pistols themselves becoming available.

I never shot my 1851 brassies up to full potential. 15grns. of 3F...... .36cal. or .44cal. As far as caps, #10.75 RWS was what I found was the best for staying on.Nice new gun. Except for being a .44, yours is a Schneider & Glassick Reb gun, I got my brass frame from EMF too.
T7 works fine and safely in brass frames. Keep in mind the 15% reduction rule. Some people follow it and others don't. I do and use 15 grains max in my only brass frame - a .36 Griswold. That is the equivalent of 17.25 grains of black. I don't go heavier than that in a .36 brass frame. If 25 grains of black is safe for a brass .44 then 21 grains of T7 will be fine. It's my favorite substitute.
If there's a Sportsmen's Warehouse near you they may have No.10 caps in Remington or CCI. That's where I get mine. Go Remington for best fit on stock Pietta cones. CCI fit a little tighter but also work well.

just kidding brother I'm glad it's doing well for you more power to you and I wish you best of luck in 2021 as well.
Now I have never done business with them but GunBroker (which looks like a type of eBay for guns) does have cap and ball revolvers for sale atm.
Like I said though never did business with them and some of the stuff is in fact used so buyer beware.
I bought a Colt Walker replica on Gonebroker recently, and it is supposed to arrive at my house tomorrow.
