    what peep sight for a lefty GPR flinter

    I am working up loads for my lefty great plains flinter and was wondering if anybody has any suggestions on a low tang sight that would work on it. the Lyman 57 looks good but will it be in the way of the cock? also are there any lollypop style sights that will fit? Thanks in advance, Galen

    here are some pics of my 1860 that I've started to defarb I've reshaped the grip slightly, taken off the barrel markings, and added a taller front sight. You can't see it very well in the photos but I also cut a cap grove into the frame like the originals. . I just received a set of Treso...

    1860 cylinder gap

    I have a Pietta 1860 army that has a reverse problem from most that I've seen. The cylinder gap is so close that after the first 6 shots the cylinder starts to bind from fowling, in a way I'm okay with this because the cylinder pin stays clean and it shoots great. I just find it a pain to take...

    just traded for a CVA double

    High again, I just traded for a CVA 12g double. It was a kit gun that was just thrown together and stained. The barrels are browned but are blotchy and the finish almost looks like a brown varnish. I think this will make a nice summer project, But would like to see some pictures of some you...

    new twist on an old rifle

    This rifle started out life as an FIE Italy fullstock Kentucky rifle with a 2 piece stock and wide brass spacer between the two pieces. I bought it for the wife for $75 but it was a bit too heavy so I worked my magic and ended up with this. I cut the barrel to 28" made an under rib and...

    Pietta 1860 army reliability problems

    I won a very nice Pietta 1860 army a couple of years ago in a raffle, the man who donated it is a colt collector and reworked the trigger and smoothed up the action on it so it now has a glass smooth hammer release. the problem is that with cci no. 10 caps I have to hit them twice to get them to...

    Well I bought me a CHEAP .45

    I picked up a FIE Italy .45 yesterday. It's a typical 1970s kit gun AKA cva that you could pick up at discount stores for around 80 bucks with a 2 piece stock. It looks rather good at a distance :wink: but there are gaps between the wood and the brass insert which I can make a spacer for. I may...

    Which do you like better, the 1851 navy or the 1860 army? and why. The reason I ask I just won an 1860 army at our spring shoot raffle and it looks like a better built gun than the 1851 civilian I had a few years back. ( I couldn't hit a thing with it) I'm hoping I have better luck with the...
