    Colt Walker/Dragoon

    IM thinking of buying one of these this year. Is the 9" barrel an accurate reproduction? I see alot of 7 1/2" barrels. IM looking at the Dixie gun works kit gun. I read good things about them.

    Remington 1858

    I like the pietta version. I have two. My older one about 2-3 years old has smaller grips than the new one I just bought.

    Uberti 1858 Remington questions.

    Just thought I would add a few bits of info. I have an R&D cylinder I fired 10 shots out of today. It worked great. The cases were stuck but not so bad that it was difficult to remove them with a stick. I used Ultramax 250 grain cowboy loads. I had another pistol loaded with 25 grains of 3f a...

    Uberti 1858 Remington questions.

    I have a couple of Pietta 1858 Remingtons. I have a new 5 1/2" barrel model I havent shot yet and the conmversion cylinder for them. I like the pietta brand better. I have had Uberti's pistols before and always had springs break and parts snap. So far the Piettas are fine. I would recomend...

    Ohio Hunt

    I take mine off once maybe twice a year. Usually its extensive cleaning to be stored awhile.

    any one ever use this

    Just thought I would add this, I dont meant to jack your thread. Use really hot water and after cleaning the hot metal parts will dry the water in the nooks and crannies. In WW2 thats what was used. Water was heated in a container big enough to hold the barreled action in and scrub it. Water was...

    Gojo patch lube and bore cleaner

    I wouldnt put anti-freeze in it. I forget what its called but one chemical in anti-freeze when its burned will flat out kill you. I dont know how much it takes but I dont want to find out. Remember years ago in Bopal India all thos epeople were killed by a gas leak from a chemical factory? Thats...

    Simulated case colors?

    Zonie, I have used a similar technique. This wasnt on a lock but the steel hardware on a rifle. I have an acetylene torch on low flame. I heated the parts up to where they started to turn red and dunked them in a mixture of motor oil and trans fluid, it gives them the rainbow effect with a dark...

    Frizzen covers

    When I take my flinter hunting I use a piece of scrap leather tucked between the flint and frizzen. I only use it for walking in for safety.

    .490 balll and .010 patch?

    Hey guys thanks for the info. The fouling I have when the barrel is dry is terrible stuff. Its almost like having a rusted barrel. Its so bad when its pushed into the breach it jams the touch hole. I start having dried crusty spots in the barrel and loading goes from tough to cant load. I swab...
