SOLD New Orleans Ace Screw Barrel 44 Pistol

[L Rupp]

I got this in a auction and looking at an old Dixie catalog it says : Classic Arms/ USA, New Orleans Ace. Barrel is 3 1/2" long and I miked the bore at .436 ?? The Dixie catalog says it's a 44 cal. and suggests 12 gr. FFFg load. The ramrod and mounts are missing from the barrel but it came with a nice ball starter. Without the ramrod it would make a nice boot or belt pistol. See pictures for condition. The bore condition is fine. 135.00 prepaid shipping in lower 48. M.O. or check preferred, no pay pal.

Put sights in the dovetails and shoot it gangsta style!

 

[L Rupp]

LOL, Maybe put the sights on and some pearl grips and call it the "New Orleans Pimp" model !!!!

 

[SOLANCO]

Surely it is not going to the range. But if you are prone to hang out at the gin mill til closing time..............

Otherwise it's a curiousity. And I'd bet most of us have at least one curiousity in their collection.

Nuts… now I’m even thinking about it. What does that say?

 

[Sparkitoff]

Does it have a half-cock? Any other “safety”?

 

[Sparkitoff]

What’s the barrel length and overall length?

 

[L Rupp]

The barrel length is 3 1/2" and AOL is 9 1/4". Weight is 14 oz (approx.) just under 1 lb. It does have a "so called" safety notch where the hammer is just off of the cap but mostly in the down position and then the full cock position.

[JoeDan]

[toot]

JoeDan, good luck to ya. hope that you get it. I have one and break it out when I am bored. and it is an easy clean up, just put it under the water faucet and, VIOLA, done!

 

[Eterry]

Please...Let's stop all the cross chatter and let L Rupp sell his pistol.

 

[mechteacher]

As I know,

1. unscrew the barrel
2. Fill breech with powder
3. Press ball on top of powder
4. Screw the barrel on
5. Cap
6. Fire
7. Repeat

 

[L Rupp]

JoeDan, got your PM and sent you one, Thanks , Linden

If it helps, these are the instructions that came with mine. Loads like any other muzzleloader. I believe the removal of the barrel would be for cleaning and the situation covered in the last paragraph of the "Cautions"

 

[L Rupp]

Olfuzzy, thanks for posting the instructions. The loading method that mechteacher posted will not work with this model. This pistol loads like any muzzle loader. Why else would they originally put a ramrod on it?

That is NOT the Liege "screw barrel" derringer. It is the new Orleans "Ace" pistol. The dovetails in the barrel held brass rings to hold a brass ramrod & it loads like any muzzleloader. The barrel does NOT unscrew for loading or cleaning. I own both & although they have a resemblance to each other are much different mechanically & in size. Hopefully whoever bought it knows what he just bought, as it was totally misrepresented by the seller. Removing the barrel, as shown in the pic is a bad idea & it should be reinstalled to the proper specs before firing again.

Old Hawkeye, would you please explain to me where in my ad I "totally misrepresented this pistol.
