    Arbor Problem?

    There have been lots of threads on it: https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/short-arbor.153251/ https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/uberti-1860-short-arbor-fix.173899/ https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/trying-to-understand-this-“short-arbor”-on-uberti-revolvers.126633/ The...

    Colt 1851 Wedge Issue.

    All I know is the wedge screw on a Uberti is #8-32 and the nipples are #12-28

    What problem are you trying to solve with the paper?

    My 50+ year old brass 1860 Colt

    Nothing wrong with a Dremel and felt or cotton polishing/buffing wheels. Way easier than by hand!

    New Uberti 1861 Navy from Midway. Buyer Beware!

    That's excellent condition for a Uberti box! They're so fragile I'm surprised any survive warehousing and shipping at all.

    Ruger old army loads

    Using 1/8" thick felt, I too have had some make it to the target ~20 yards away

    Pietta or Uberti 1858 Remington

    All I can say is my Pietta Spiller & Burr is not as nicely made as my four Uberti Colts, but it does function fine.

    Why are Uberti pistol boxes so flimsy?

    I just wish their dang boxes would survive shipping. A pocket Colt flops around in there because the box is way too big, but on the other hand, a 1860 with 8" barrel barely fits and tears it open. When the box tears, the plastic bag sometimes tears too, so it all ends up an oily mess. :mad:

    What model is traditions wood stock

    I can't tell from your photo if my gun's frizzen is smaller. Mine is recent production, stamped 2023:

    What model is traditions wood stock

    You could be right, but didn't the Springfield Hawkens usually have single triggers and a simpler rear sight?

    What model is traditions wood stock

    Traditions Frontier. The sights look different than mine, so maybe it's an older one. https://muzzle-loaders.com/collections/traditions-frontier-muzzleloader-kits/products/traditions-flintlock-frontier-rifle-kit-krc52508

    JB Weld on oversized wood holes....??

    With all due respect, I have to disagree there. Just a few weeks ago, I repaired a severely cracked unmentionable stock partly with JB Weld. No one will know, because on the areas that are actually visible, I used thin, clear epoxy mixed with matching wood dust. It's all in how you use it.

    Competitive shooters, a moment of your time please.

    You might find this video interesting. I certainly did. Also, it is possible to set up a Colt to be able to safely dry fire, where the nipples are a few thousandths short of the hammer face.

    Teflon as a patch lube?

    The thing I don't like about the idea of using Teflon is now you've got micro-particles of a forever chemical going everywhere

    Drill Bits

    I have some drill bits (and end mills) from Drill America which are good quality. The few I have bought from Shars Tool Co. have also been good. Drill Doctors work pretty good, but the guide/cam parts are made of plastic. I recently saw some reviews on this sharpener by Vevor which frankly...

    Ballistol

    I have to admit, the first time I used Ballistol, I did not like the smell. From the second time onward, I liked the smell. So clearly, Ballistol has psychoactive properties and I became addicted. 😁 Question for the group: Does the aerosol version smell different than the liquid? I...
