Those Uberti 1866 Yellowboy lever guns look really cool too......ammo prices will keep me away from those....I have no such weaknesses, ……oh wait there is that one model that…..

Well yeah, I’d love to have one of those for sure. But your right on the ammo prices.Those Uberti 1866 Yellowboy lever guns look really cool too......ammo prices will keep me away from those....
I purchased an Pietta 1858 Remington clone from Cabellas in October. Out of the box It was shooting 2 inches to the right at 25 yards. I had to drift the sight over about 1/8 of an inch to correct the wind age, I thought the front sight was bent because looking down at the barrel the sight is leanning to the left, however with closer inspection its obvious that the dovetail is milled out of plane. I'm waiting on Cabellas to call me back. Let the poop show begin!
I’ll be receiving mine from Dixie Gun Works in a week, we’ll see how it looks and shoots! TomI purchased an Pietta 1858 Remington clone from Cabellas in October.

It drives me up the wall with my Smith, but I just got used to it. She puts them right where they need to go.Plus having a sight picture with a canted front sight would bug me to no end
That's something new for I have several 1858 models and none of mine have Dove tails. Mine All shoot point of aim at fifty yard's. Sorry for your luck
I'll probably give it a go. I may build a jig to center it.I have had barrel timing issues with both Uberii's and Piettta's. Barrel timing on a 1858 is an easy fix. less so on a 1876 rifle.
I assume you are aware, Colt never made brass frame revolvers.I said the same thing, but I'm watching Hell on Wheels again and now I need a brass frame 1860 Army and a rig for it......

I know , that's kinda what makes it cooler.I assume you are aware, Colt never made brass frame revolvers.
Half my Rugers have a little cant in the barrel, the trick is to not look too closely at a Ruger and you'll be fineIt drives me up the wall with my Smith, but I just got used to it. She puts them right where they need to go.
EMF is that company and they are impossible to get ahold of on the phone. Get ahold of their marketing folks at Rendezvous Marketing Group and they might be able to help.I sent Pietta an email today. It's my understanding Pietra now owns a company in California that does warranty work. I sent them an email also. Cabellas said Tiffany luck! Contact the manufacturer.
I had this problem with a Pietta Spiller & Burr. The barrel was over-threaded into the receiver. I chucked the barrel up in a padded vice, stuck a block of wood through the receiver, and backed it off until the sight was true. Of course, this opened up the cylinder-to-barrel gap a hair.I pulled the sight out and used a micrometer to measure it. The dovetail looks ok. Now I'm thinking the barrel is clocked to far to the left looking down the sights
Definitely has a lean to it.

They probably had the barrel slight bit cocked in the milling machine or the guy setting it up was drinking on the jobI have a Smith carbine also built by Pietta that is the exact same way. Maybe their dovetail cutter is set up out of whack.
