Folks, Here are the photos of the 1860 Army (.44) which I just got back from Wayne. I am pretty thrilled with the results. He did three pages worth of work to the pistol. Now it locks up tight and looks great. http://s617.photobucket.com/albums/tt259/Dochoy/?action=view&current=CentaureSN.jpg...

Folks, What powder loads are you using in your ROAs for .457s? Reason I ask is this: I have seen everything from 25 grains with a wad to 38 without. So far I have limited my ammunition to round balls and no wads. Lubed balls and lube over the balls. Anything less than 32 grains results in...

Folks, Shot my 1851 Navy brass frame Sheriff's Model yesterday. Experienced a chain fire, I think due to poor cap fit. Now the arbor is loose. To get it tight I have to turn it about 10 degrees, which of course, prevents the wedge from going into the arbor How does one fix this and still...

Experts, Picked up an 1851 Navy (.36) Sheriff's model at the gun show yesterday and the only Manuf. mark I can find is "C.O.M." and am trying to determine who made this pistol. I have looked at the various manufacturer identification data and have had no success. To be specific, the pistol...

Folks, The people at the gun shows are starting to act like sellers on eBay. Here's why I say that. I have been doing eBay for about ten years. 462 feedbacks, all positive. Ever since I started there have been a large number of bidders who do not bother to check the actual value of the...

Experts, I came up with a Belgian (Hanquet, Centaure, 1960 New Model Army) replica 1860 Colt Army (.44) steel frame at a gun show a couple months ago. Pistol is only in fair condition but I got it cheap. It is with a gunsmith who is going to tighten it up. He has experience with these...

Experts, I have an opportunity to purchase an ASM 1860 Army brass frame .44. Pistol was made about 1980 and never fired. Said to be in as-new condition. Box and paperwork included. Price is $150.00 plus shipping. Given ASM's reputation is the pistol worth the money?

Dear experts, Just bought an FIE imported 1851 Navy in .44 cal at a gun show. Gave a hundred bucks for it plus a pound of powder, a tin of caps, a box of Hornady round balls, a Deeelux powder measure, a bag of wads and a holster. The pistol is excellent but needs a cylinder stop (which is on...

Experienced Euroarms Colt replica shooters, I recently got back into C&B shooting after a looong hiatis. (20 yrs.) I bought a couple of used but good condition pistols at gun shows, one of which is a Euroarms 1851 Navy colt in .44 cal. from 1973. (I use this term loosely because I don't know...
