    Percussion Hammer Cam (Divot)?

    Wow I can’t believe this Jugs and Corsairs on the muzzleloading forum. I’m 66 this April once in my life I was as aviator. Had the great fortune of having an uncle that had his roots at Rosevelt Field. He introduced me to all his pals he worked at Republic in Field Service through the Korean War...

    Percussion Hammer Cam (Divot)?

    When I get back up to NH at the end of the month I will PM you with some pictures and describe my main complaint; please PM me a reminder. It will be early March. It’s a pietta I’m sorry to report and very rough unlike any of the Uberties I own. It’s called an 1851 Sheriffs Model 44 cal. It has...

    Percussion Hammer Cam (Divot)?

    Good man Curtis I learned a lot from your post. I ruined a few hammer fiddling with the bolt and trying to understand what was the correct angle on the cam. So in my infamous wisdom I ordered xtras hammer hands and bolts. I stumbled on some of my stock (lol) last week when I was looking at...

    Percussion Hammer Cam (Divot)?

    Thanks Curtis! I was fine up until i got covid in late 2020. Initially I was still able to think and not forget but a few months after it hit me hard; I was unable to work. My doctor told me you have similar symptoms as another one of his patients that had covid. Any way I take these Ivermectin...

    Percussion Hammer Cam (Divot)?

    That’s funny about the time I purchased mine and 35 is right for me they were a great buy worked in one of the 36 Caliber Revolvers I have. Plan on putting them in the others if I ever take them out again. I have to do that as I have cap’s that need to be used. Then I went to sleep for a while...

    Percussion Hammer Cam (Divot)?

    They work I just dropped mine in i actually bought a spare i will never use. They are expensive but at least they are made of quality steel nicely finished. Seriously maybe I got lucky. I never studied it closely and not sure if both hand are in play or even supposed to be. I spoke to a...

    Percussion Hammer Cam (Divot)?

    Darn I have that book someone on the forum recommended it. I should try reading it again. Though I will eventually have one of the pros do the Colt for me as I’m still dealing with concentration issues from covid and those darn vaccines. I’m a fan of the 1851; what a work of art in my eye. Great...

    Percussion Hammer Cam (Divot)?

    Thanks! The Gen 2 Colts I bought the one came in a beautiful box not the boxes that Taylors sell. Like I said they are like rock candy not for eating just for looking at 😂 I watched Josey Wales again last week end; love the Old Chief’s analogy! 200 rounds per range time that is exactly what...

    Percussion Hammer Cam (Divot)?

    At one point I purchased a half dozen spring s and buttons, I was going to try my luck with drilling the hole so to set the hand spring tension. I’m sure they will show up when Im dead and get tossed because they have no idea what they are. Maybe those recommendations are paise today. Does not...

    Percussion Hammer Cam (Divot)?

    45D and Mike I know you’re are experts with these and was wondering if you know if that cam should be heat treated. I realize they are case hardened but the case hardening IMO doesn’t hold up on any of these critical parts from revolvers to rifles it’s one of the reasons I don’t use them as much...

    1851 Pietta Sheriff’s Model

    I purchased a Taylors Pietta 44 cal import about 2 years back. I have not done the typical deburring and polishing. Though it does need especially the hand slot; It’s pretty rough and of all the revolvers I have this is the roughest but it turned well. So I figured I’d shoot it as is less...

    Ram rod wont go all the in....im stumped!

    Sounds like it’s hitting the forward lock bolt? Tighten it up mark the horizontal on the cap then file a flat spot in the bolt so the ramrod clears. This may have already been said i don’t read entire threads anymore

    How loud?

    That’s very nice of you I mean it sincerely. But I think if there are haters out there someone is going to complain. There may also be some one with an illness like autism. They can be very sensitive to loud snappy noise. For me I find the deep sound of a muzzle loader blast less annoying. A 32...
