    Pietta lube recommend vs Uberti

    If using a fiber wad no lube is needed, IN fact the only time I have ever had a chain fire on me Pietta 1860 was when I used crisco for a lube, It turned out that poor fitting caps on factory nipples was the problem.

    blowing down barrel

    This is not a reply to anyone in particular but how many of you naysayers have dropped a light down the bore to check out the condition of said bore, what's the difference you still have your face in front of the muzzle right?

    Pietta 1858 loading catch stuck

    cleaning the Lyman breech

    I have a LH gpr and found a .410 shotgun mop and a little alcohol works well to clean the chamber in the breach. And when it gets really dirty just wash out with soap and water, let dry, fluff with your fingers and it's good as new. :grin:
