    Who sells that CO2 deloader?

    Thanks for your replies. Turns out I was using the wrong terminology in my searches. You guys are right on. That's why I come to this forum. The abundance of experience and knowledge is impressive.

    Who sells that CO2 deloader?

    Can't seem to find them online, but I know they exist. I'm talking about the deloading tool that uses a pellet gun style CO2 cylinder to blow out a stuck load in your barrel. Anyone know?

    Replacing nipples?

    I have a Uberti 1858 Remington revolving carbine. I get a lot of stinging on my face when shooting it since I have to put my face close to the breech. My more experienced friends say that the Italian guns are designed for Italian caps, and our American caps fit loosely on them which causes...

    BP supplies at Wal Mart

    It's good to have a reminder of how lucky we are in the USA, in spite of the globies trying to subdue us. Thank God for the 2A. I don't know if it will help your situation, but you can make your own with aluminum cans...

    Uberti 1858 Remington Revolving Carbine

    It was shot from a rest on a bench. Yes, there was a ring most of the time.

    Uberti 1858 Remington Revolving Carbine

    I checked the bore dimension and the cylinder throats. Using dial calipers (while not ideal but close enough) the bore runs about .452". However, the throats ran .448" and one was .445" Not conducive to accuracy. You want the throats at least as large as the bore if not a bit larger. At...

    Uberti 1858 Remington Revolving Carbine

    Another range day. My carbine is shown with an unmentionable accessory. She's a beaut! Those Italians love to make their stuff all dolled up and sexy. I was surprised by the lousy 50 yard group with the conicals. Last time out, they were much smaller than the RB groups. I used ox yoke...

    Uberti 1858 Remington Revolving Carbine

    Glad to hear that. I was wondering if someone was interested in a cool rifle. I'll try to get some pictures for you.

    Uberti 1858 Remington Revolving Carbine

    Thanks for the tips. 200 yards is an impressive distance, much farther than I anticipated.

    Uberti 1858 Remington Revolving Carbine

    So that's where the rules are hidden. I tried finding them before. BTW, It's not about me not liking anything, it just seemed like a relevant option for a nice BP gun. We like options, don't we? Like I said before, not trying to be flippant, just trying to get a handle on this, so stop...

    Uberti 1858 Remington Revolving Carbine

    I've heard you say that before. Is this forum so elitist that we don't even dare to talk about brass cases, even if they're filled with black powder? We talk about revolvers, some of which were converted back in the day. Not trying to be flippant here, but I have a hard time understanding...

    Uberti 1858 Remington Revolving Carbine

    Finally got this from MidwayUSA. Shooting it was a unique experience for me, given I'm a beginner with smoke poles. Seems very well built, rugged and good looking to boot. Using the Uberti recommended loads of 30 gr. 3F with RB and 25 gr. with conicals, I was getting 4" groups at 50 yd with...

    Bismuth in 45 Colt?

    Has anyone done any bismuth casting here? I'm getting a Uberti revolving carbine, which is a black powder gun. I'm also getting the 45 LC conversion cylinder. I'm toying with the idea of using it for deer hunting here in Commiefornia and they require use of non-toxic projectiles for all...

    #10 or #11 caps?

    I was at a gun show and saw some caps and bought them knowing how hard these things are to find these days. After I got home, I noticed that they were #10. My C&B revolver uses #11 caps. So I got the revolver out to see if they fit, which they do. The only difference I can see is the #10...
