    Colt 1860 Cylinder Questions

    UPDATE: An Uberti cylinder fits the Armi San Paolo/Euroarms revolver. What fitting I needed to do was to remove some dings in that particular cylinders face (dropped, probably) so that it wouldn't hang up on the back of the forcing cone. After that was done, it worked without problem. Next...

    Which Italian Compny made that sign?

    FYI, I have a 1981 Euroarms 1860. I remember reading some time back on this Forum that Euroarms and Uberti parts/arms can be used (within reason, fellas!) interchangably. Armed with that fuzzy remembrance, I just took delivery of an Uberti 1860 cylinder, unfired but 'played with'. There were a...

    XX7 means it was made in 1971. Edit: Sorry! I didn't notice that someone already provided the date.

    T/C THREAD SIZE HUNTER PEEP SCREWS?

    yep, 8x32...Track of the Wolf has a 'kit' available, a #29 drill bit and an 8x32 tap. I used to suffer from having more tang sights than I had drilled/tapped tangs to mount them on.

    place to buy revolvers

    It depends on how hard you're willing to look and how much work the (used) revolver will need. And don't ever count out plain 'ol dumb luck. My 1860 was $150 (Gunbroker.com), was claimed to be unfired, but had a nipple shaped indentation in the hammer face. The first day I had it, the hand...

    Colt 1860 Cylinder Questions

    The different ratchet diameters is something new to me: thanks for letting me know. I'm well aware of some folks inability to accurately describe what they're selling. I regularly search the listings for exactly those ones, as I have gotten really good deals that way. FYI, S&S, the Euroarms...

    Colt 1860 Cylinder Questions

    I recently got my mitts on an 1860 Colt 4 screw model made by Armi San Paolo/Euroarms in 1981. I've fixed/adjusted everything else, lockwork, shoulder stock, etc, and now it's time to fix that huge gap between the cylinder face and the barrel. As I write this, there are 6 cylinders that are or...

    Correct nipple size?

    I just got an order from Thunder Ridge: I ordered two sets of Treso nipples for my Pietta 1858, and only one was shipped. I called, and the second set is on the way. I think I know whose Christmas party I want to be invited to next year!! :rotf:

    1858 Remington Pietta Sights and Caps

    Just got a set of Treso's and a set of the nipples made by Thunder Ridge. I also have a Pietta 1858 and the nipples are for sure 6x.75mm. I have CCI, Remington, and RWS caps here, all #11: they all fit very snugly on both sets. I have yet to fire the thing, so I cannot tell you if the caps stay...

    Iron for Brass

    I just checked the DGW website, and ME1205 is listed for $49.95. I got these awhile back, and everything is going to need finishing. Very nice castings to start with, however, you're going to need to fit them to your stock. I opened up the nosecap to accomodate my 1" barrel with no problem.

    GM Drop in barrel question

    I have a Green Mountain LRH (1-28" rate of twist) that's 1" across the flats, and the T/C 9930 (for Renegade) scope base fits perfectly. And for those of you who are rolling their eyes, it's for long distance fooling around at the range, not for hunting. I got ahold of some 470 grain...

    Widening a Barrel CHannel

    Yeah, I've been leaning towards a scraper, as the size of the scraper doesn't change, as opposed to the sandpaper idea, which has the potential of removing too much wood in a given spot. I had been hung up with the 'need' of some sort of built-in depth guage, ie wings on the side which would not...

    Widening a Barrel CHannel

    So, I've been gradually upgrading my Renegade, and I have a line on a nice stock with a proper LOP, but it's got a 15/16" barrel channel, and both my barrels are 1" GM's. How does one go about widening/deepening the barrel channel without ending up with expensive firewood? Having the channel be...

    GM IBS rear sight

    Both models of IBS (slow and fast twist) use rear sights that are attached by screws, even though they use different rear sights.
