Good price. My guess is its not moving because of case hardned and short barrel. Most Rems are fully blued and longer barrel.
Just my guess.

That's lovely (except for the price).

They were cheaper when new2bp made the original post a week ago. I think they had them for $360 or something, which was a pretty good price!

Just my guess.

My guess is no one want to pay $50 to $100 for a box of caps. I have several cap and ball pistols. I bought conversion cylinders, bullet molds and reloading dies. Semper Fi.

I bought mine at Cabelas in Greenville, SC for $319 a couple of months ago while visiting my son. Haven’t seen them that cheap since.

I bought mine at Cabelas in Greenville, SC for $319 a couple of months ago while visiting my son. Haven’t seen them that cheap since.

I bought a Colt model 51 Pietta last Sunday at Cabella's here in Anchorage and it was $360.00 but the only one left was the display model in the show case I got for 324.00 with a few dents and scratches but nothing significant. I got them to remove the trigger lock in the gun Library so I could check the action and fitting more closely under good light.
The stuff that really matters ( fit and function) were present in this gun so I took it home. The arbor was end fit tight in the well bottom as I have been reading the factory is doing now. The bolt lock up in the frame window/ cylinder nocks was much tighter fit than my early models were and chamber/bore alignment was exceptional.
I got to thinking about cones/nipples which I like to replace with the vented models available and suspect the ones that come from the factory on the gun now days are vastly superior to what was available on the Colt originals.
I'm going to shoot these for awhile and re-appraise how well they work and last.

That’s great Mr. D. Im surprised they took off the trigger lock cause here they won’t. Highly recommend Slixshots as replacement nipples.

He would only remove it after we went into the gun Library and I had to keep the muzzle inside the bullet trap while working the action. There was no possibility of a ND of any kind.
I have the slixshot cones on several of my guns but wanted to test the current nipples Pietta is installing.

Not a bad price, I have the 8” case harden.

I have ordered several guns and related items from Midway and up to now, had no issues whatsoever. They ship super fast and the items were as described. No complaints from me at least for now.

I started making Powder in 2019, bullets literally yesterday. I've done all the research on making caps and will start doing that soon. I found that unlike powder & ball, there is no single place to get a full set of instructions on the best way to do this. There is, for example, one critical ingredient that isn't mentioned anywhere in any official documentation on the capmaker, and one tool that makes it vastly easier to do.

(Duco Cement and and empty tray that large rifle/pistol primers came in)
