    Just bought 1988 Uberti New Model Navy unfired condition. Photos inside

    While this thread dates back to Sept/23, guess its still relevant as the OP recently posted. I have a Remington Uberti, although it is 44 caliber, I bought it back around 1985. I checked the nipple thread of the original nipples and they are 6.75"mm. Checking the charts on Track of the Wolf's...

    Difference in Cimarron Colt Walker vs "regular" Uberti Walker?

    I've never noticed any of Cimarrons Uberti's being any different than the ones marketed by Uberti except for the Cimarron stamped address. In fact believe they are better . On another forum a member who worked at Cimarron advised otherwise once stating Cimarron wants the best quality as possible...

    Uberti Walker disassembly

    Check the archies by searching, other posts have came up before about this problem. Here's the last one where I and others posted about the issue. I'd quote whole thread but not sure how to do. It can be found on page 4 of this section 'Handguns', a little past halfway down titled 'Uberti...

    Grease or Oil on the Arbor

    Mobile-1 works very well (I do use it), but when the temperature gets down there (and I'm saying ice makin temps, plus/minus) forget about it. It stays sorta tacky but gets stiff. I've used white lithium grease for alota years on my capper arbors (even innards) and it doesn't get stiff like...

    New Uberti 1861 Navy from Midway. Buyer Beware!

    Guess yer satisfied with getting damaged goods then, Midway and other sellers of goods love customers with your satisfied attitude of getting damaged new products and not standing up to your rights. Has nothing to do with degrees you have or your pastorship, well and good you have them and are a...

    New Uberti 1861 Navy from Midway. Buyer Beware!

    I would also advise Midway if it were me of the amount of business I've given them since way back in the early 90's. I had to do that with a well-known online/walk-in retailer (similar to Midway) once on a defective product. The customer service gal on the phone I guess thought she was saving...

    New Uberti 1861 Navy from Midway. Buyer Beware!

    If it were me, I'd be on the phone demanding a return, if the operator plays the corporate 'no return' play line, I'd demand to talk to her boss, maybe even up to Larry Potterfield himself. No excuse for sending a buyer something in that condition if it is rust. As 'Sam' posted, sure it isn't...

    Solved the percussion cap issue.

    FWIW BG my take on his post was he was referring to your metal cap making die as this thread is about your metal cap making die kit not the plastic cap making printer. Also have you measured the inside diameter and the length of skirt on what you refer to #10's and #11"s? As I advised in other...

    Need advise on possible restoration project.

    As others advised check with someone who can visibly examine it to determine if it is an original or not, if so leave as be, be worth more as is. That cylinder looks pretty tough as does the bore, IMO be a better wall hanger unless any original value. If there is powder in the chambers, which...

    Solved the percussion cap issue.

    The chart by Mako tells it all when deciding cap use. Everyone should go to the CAS Forum, Darksiders Den section, Dark Arts subsection, about 2/3rds of the way down on the page and read Mako's post titled 'Cap Gun Primer: Correct Cone Length'. Mako a very knowledgeable shooter gives CAD...

    Another option for caps.

    So BG, are you giving up on any thoughts of developing a metal cap producing die set? Have no desire or use for a so-called modern day plastic printer nor using plastic caps. Too much plastic this and that in the firearms industry.

    Solved the percussion cap issue.

    BeardedGunsmith: Curious---What caps (brand/size) are you basing your #10 and #11 cap dimensions off of? Makes a difference between a Rem 10 and a CCI 10, the CCI's are way to tight to fit on most nipples. Same as difference between a Rem 11 and a CCI 11, same approx internal measurements, but...

    Kibler Fowler

    Be an interesting and hard firearm not to have. I'd favor a 16 over the 20. Started with a single shot H&R Topper 16 gu as a young'un, hunted and scored many rabbits and pheasants with it until I got a big boy 12 pump at around 21.

    The Eras Gone Johnston and Dow wins

    BillinOregon---Interested in how the 'White' Swiss BPCR lube works out. I've been looking at it since late fall thinking of giving it a try. I've used several of the makers other lubes I bought off of the NOE Bullet Mold site, used for smokeless revolver/rifle cast bullets. Worked well, no...

    Your favorite capper for Colt Walker?

    My Ted Cash Snail capper caps my Walker as easy as it does my 1860 Army, 51 and 61 Navies, three Dragoons (all Uberti), and Pietta 51 Navy 44 and US Marshall 44. Must use straightline cappers on Remington's and Ruger OA. The Ol finger capper IMO is the worst and lousiest capper on the market...

    Uberti Dragoon issue, need help

    Broom Stick--I had a Colt Conversion revolver (new, 1860 frame) that wouldn't allow the barrel and frame to separate. I didn't have a loading lever on it of course to use as leverage and all of the tapping, pulling and such didn't budge it. I took a heavy leather thong and put a whiplash knot...

    1860 Colt vs. 1858 Remington

    My thoughts are ifin ya want to shoot +P loads in whatever caliber, buy and shoot the appropriate modern-day revolver to do so. Shoot the 1800 era revolvers with 1800 era loadings and enjoy them. To many wanna-be Elmer Kieth's trying to do to 1800 era revolvers what they were not intended to be...

Some were...
