    Rogers & Spencer hand spring

    Have shot several hundred rounds in my R&S pistol without any issues. Yesterday at the range I noticed the cylinder not rotating now and then when cocking. Got home stripped it for cleaning and reassembled but still doing the same now and then. I believe this is due to a weak hand spring. I have...

    Rogers and Spencer at the range

    Picked up a R&S from fellow member JQuigley and shot it yesterday at my gun club. I was super impressed at how well this pistol performed. I fired a combo of 100 .454 round balls and conicals in paper cartridges containing 35 grains of Schuetzen, no lube whatsoever. The cylinder pin was sprayed...

    Fun range day with my S & B

    Looks like Pietta is cranking out the S&B into production again. I purchased mine a couple of months back from a fellow member and I’m extremely happy with it. It was made back in the late 90s and looked unfired. I installed a taller front sight and hour glassed the hammer spring for a lighter...

    Paper nitrating question

    A friend asked if the Spectricide stump remover is safe to handle without gloves when dry on the paper. I wear gloves when dipping the coffee filters in the solution and when completely dry and during cutting/gluing the paper for the envelopes.

    Wire bolt/trigger spring

    Just discovered the bolt trigger spring in my Pietta 1851 Navy snapped. I called Wolff and ordered a couple of their wire springs. They don’t list any for Pietta but for Uberti and other clones. Has anyone used the Wolff wire spring in the Pietta 1851 or 1860? He couldn’t give me a definitive...

    Bass has them

    Took the missus to get her hair done so drove to Basspro in Orlando to kill time. Found these elusive little fellers hanging so I grabbed several along with the smokeless powders I use . 😎

    Uberti front sight soldering

    I was watching Mike Beliveau’s video on replacing the front sight on the 1860 Army pistol. I have followed his instructions and checked my dimensions to match the original sight but it will not stay secured when tugged on. He did not solder his so I have questions. I have silver bearing solder...

    Frame size question

    Does the Uberti Remington New Service Navy .36 have a smaller frame size being closer to the original in comparison to the Pietta Remington NSN which is on a larger frame? A side by side picture would be great if someone has both in .36.

    Prime all question

    Which color bag is the binder that comes with the Prime all product? I’m ready to mix the Prime all to make some caps and recall reading not to add the included binder because it doesn’t work, recommending to use single based smokeless powder diluted in acetone as a binder instead. I have my...

    Lube wad over ball?

    Why is it acceptable to use lube on top of bullets after loading the cylinder or dipping the paper cartridge projectile being either round ball or conical in liquid lube but lubed wads are said to be used under and not over the projectile? The way I see it it’s the same to put a lubed wad over...

    Found my Remington Sheriff

    So we drove up to SC to visit our son and grandkids over the weekend and decided to swing by a Cabela’s store on Sunday and was delighted to find they had what I wanted to get for a while that has been out of stock at Midway. It’s was actually like 30 bucks cheaper here. Just got wiping the...

    1860 Army and Pocket Police

    Finally got around to putting in action shields on my 1860 Army and Pocket Police. Pumped up the internals with Mobil 1 Synthetic grease and both are running super smooth. I have the same mods done to my other 3 BP pistols and love how the fowling and fragments stay out of the internals thanks...

    Good Wood Stripper Recommendations

    Looking for recommendations for a good wood stripper that easily removes the thick plastic like coating found on the Uberti grips. I recently stripped the grips on my Dragoon and took a lot of work to get the finish off. I used this product: It took several applications to eventually soften...

    Goodwill find

    So I was watching a YouTube video about using a hot plate to melt the lube mix to lube up my conicals so I found this hot plate at Goodwill at a discount for $3.75. Now I can melt my concoction and warm the bullets to get a nice light lube coat on them.
