    Remington 1858:Opinions and advice please.

    I was lucky enough to happen across this revolver in .44,its in pretty decent condition for its age. Alas the threads in one of the nipple holes in sloppy,I dare not fire it in this state. I was wondering who you learned folks would recommend to repair this for me? I would love to shoot with...

    Recently I was lucky enough to buy this Brown Bess,alas I know nothing about her. Caliber .75 Length 55 1/8" Barrel length 37" It would be quite nice to know roughly when she was made, I have fired her a few times on Sunday and I am still grinning.
