Wife bought me a Uberti Remington 1858 for X-mas. (from Midway, so on back order of course)
The last time I had one of these was back in the 70's, and I always remember those pesky little internal flat springs breaking if shot very much. (always at the most inopportune time) Have they improved on that problem, or should I just go ahead and buy the spare springs now?
Do the factory nipples still take a #10 cap? I will likely be changing out to SS nipples later.
I know some shoot a .451 ball, but I always seemed to get best accuracy with a .454 which shaved off a nice little lead ring.
