Paper cartridge w or w/o bullet
Is there a better/preferred way to make paper cartridges for a C&B revolver, specifically with or without the bullet as part of the cartridge? Todd -

Paper cartridge longevity
I'm wanting to go out shooting my C&B revolver next weekend. I have never done paper cartridges. I have some Zig Zags and some phonebook paper and I'm going to try different methods and loads. I do have a couple of questions. 1) Is there a shelf-life for these cartridges? Does the BP absorb any... -

Timing Issue
I went to the range the other day and I was trying to pay attention to the functioning of my two 1851 Navy replica revolvers. I was with my boy so I probably missed a lot but I did have a couple of occasions where one of the revolvers didn't turn the cylinder fully, at least when my son shot...- paleryder

Cleaning Lunatic
Just got back from shooting my two 1851 revolvers. It has taken me hours to clean them. Why? :-) I disassembed the guns (quick). I remove the handle, spring, trigger spring, bolt, trigger, etc... everything. Upon inspection, just about everything was dirty. I do put lube in the chambers when I... -

I received two new holsters for my 1851 Navy revolvers the other day and I wanted to post the pics. Here are some photobucket links: http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a480/paleryder1/holsters/PC150181.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a480/paleryder1/holsters/PC150180.jpg... -

holster question
I've been searching the net for holsters for my two 1851 Navy revolvers. I'm finding the straight and crossdraw holsters. I know CAS doesn't allow it at shoots, but which would be the best holster if I wanted to carry the pistols butt forward and use a twist draw: do I wear straight holsters on... -

AAR
Went out with a couple of buddies and my kids today (13, 11 and 8). Shot, among other things, my 1851 Navy. They had never shot it before. They really liked it. We shot mostly at non-paper targets. We tried different weapons on cantelope, our training zombie head. Since real zombies are hard... -

Now that My '51 Colt Navy is getting put back in order, and I'm waiting on another one from Pietta, I'm getting my gear ready to shoot. I have an old T/C brass flasht that throws a little over 25grns. I also have a measurer. I used to shoot a 50 cal rifle and I used the flash to measure out the... -

Older EMF '51
I obtained an EMF replica Colt 1851 Navy back in the early 90's. I traded it for my .50 muzzleloading rifle so I have no idea of the cost. I do not know which company manufactured it. I shot it several times and really enjoyed it. It has a silver backstrap, which I don't see much of looking...
