    Antiqued 1858 Pietta

    I took a few minutes to try to get some photos of the latch setup I did.

    i found another photo of the loading lever which may be easier to see.

    Antiqued 1858 Pietta

    I took the original latch and drilled a hole in the other end of the loading lever and inserted the spring and latch in there. I also filed a deep notch along the front of the cylinder pin for the latch to seat into.

    Antiqued 1858 Pietta

    I hear what you’re saying. I’m not an aging fanatic either, I just cut the barrel off and rounded the grip frame on my Remington, and I was either blueing the cut areas, or redoing the whole gun. So I decided to redo a different way and looked up ways to get an aged finish. It was about trying...

    Antiqued 1858 Pietta

    The Ace is cool, but I wanted the barrel a bit longer and the rounded grip frame. You could round the grip frame on the Ace also if you choose to. You can remove the loading lever and purchase a lever that locks the cylinder pin in place. I believe some of the unmentionable cylinder makers sell...

    I like it. Came out great!

    Antiqued 1858 Pietta

    I did this to my Remington Sheriff’s model I bought in 2021. I like worn patina look so I mixed cold blue and water and wiped it on and immediately wiped it off a few times. Did the same thing with Laurel mountain forge browning solution. Then rinsed and wiped it down with ballistol. I stripped...

    Solved the percussion cap issue.

    Nice job! I like your die! I wish I had a lathe so I could make something similar. I have both of the dies from 22reloader, and I agree the cap skirt is rather ugly, and looking at your end product, the bottom is not nice and flat on the caps I make compared to yours. I set mine up in a drill...

    Pistol for edc?

    You could cut down a Remington or buy the Ace. I wouldn’t unload every day. You can cut some plastic hose that would fit over the caps that would help seal them a bit from moisture. I would not use lubricated wads, it can leach into the powder and cause failures over time. I would use 777 and a...

    WITHDRAWN Rogers and Spencer Silver in Color

    Some stainless is magnetic. For example 416, which is sometimes used in gun manufacturing will attract a magnet.

    WITHDRAWN Rogers and Spencer Silver in Color

    I have one and mine is stainless steel. I’m not sure if euroarms made any in nickel.

    Range day

    I love my R&S! Wish I could find a few spare parts (cylinder hand).

    WANTED What’s available left handed

    I built a lefty percussion 50 caliber version of this. Pretty nice kit and gave me something to do when I couldn’t sleep.

    No, I’m good! The only snow I want to see is in a paper cup with grape syrup!

    Making Percussion Caps

    I use about 10/1 acetone/duco cement and it works great. I have used the copper you are referring to. It works good, but the edges of the stock are very sharp and can slice you up pretty good, so be careful. I also bought .005 aluminum which works great too. And double up on the aluminum cans...
