Well I finally got out with my new 1860 Uberti Army clone. I probably shot about 30 rounds or so until it got so filthy I had to shut it down and take it home to clean it. That's okay...that's enough shooting for me...but is this normal?
My second question is about field handling - on my first trip out I needed screw drivers to pick cap shards out and a plastic hammer to tap the retaining wedge out. Is it necessary to carry those tools to keep the gun shooting or am I doing something wrong?
When I got home I cleaned it and pulled all the nipples out...and promptly ordered high end bronze replacements from TOTW. Will they help with the problems of caps falling off?
Your two bits is sincerely appreciated.
