    Best Quality 1851 Navy Colt?

    Yeah, I know. I just wish Uberti WOULD make a "Premium" model with REAL color case hardening and with serial numbers in ALL of the correct places and those damn proof marks hidden under the grip frame! If they did those things and properly finished and hardened the internals and screws, I...

    Best Quality 1851 Navy Colt?

    I recently had the same dilema, and solved it by buying both an Uberti 1851 Navy (used) AND a Second Generation Colt 1851. I did that on purpose, to compare them. That comparison yielded some interesting results. First off, from a fit and finish perspective, the Colt wins, hands down...

    Desperately need a part!!!!

    Haven't tried him yet. UPDATE: Just got off the phone with Tip Curtis. He also recommends making a flat trigger plate and pinning through the wood under the lock plate. Sounds like a plan!

    Bess Lock for Rifle?

    OK, let's say, just for arguments sake, that you had a repro Brown Bess lock laying around gathering dust. Now, because you HAD this lock, you have this overwhelming urge to build a rifle around it, just because such a rifle would have HAD to existed during the mid 18th century(hey, work with...

    Pedersoli Brown Bess

    I am one of two guys locally shooting a Bess against the 20ga and .54 cal tradeguns. LOADS of fun! When you smack things with that .75 cal ball, they MOVE. In fact, I have a perfect record (so far) in local trade gun gong shoots: I have broken at least one steel target on every shoot. The...

    Finally got a Bess

    I was able to get out and shoot my Bess for the first time today. It's a real attention getter! As soon as I touched off the first round, I had people coming from the other end of the range line to see who was shooting the cannon! 90gr of fffg, a .715" ball with .015" patching produced a four...
