(...and his thread about the old BP pistol he picked up recently ) When I saw the Pietta 1858 Remingtons on sale at Cabela's with free shipping (I'm such a sucker for free shipping ) I simply couldn't help myself.



That was Tuesday night. A half hour ago I got an email with a tracking number. About a half hour before that UPS pulled in and I signed for a package. Talk about quick shipping!

Inside was this:

 

[Alea Jacta Est]

Hand cannon. Bet that makes some smoke and noise...and looks good doing it.

Congrats!

 

[BossmanPJ]

Very nice looking.

 

[Melnic]

Wait till you see the conversion cylinders

I've already been looking at conversion cylinders... Once I saw the prices for them? ->

The good news is I already have nice revolvers that are made to chamber .45 Colt...

There is also Kirst:

And Howell's:
http://www.howelloldwestconversions.com/shop/products.cfm?catid=261

You might also want to replace the loading lever with a base pin, some of which are made for quick cylinder changes. These are for Ruger including the Old Army to give you the idea. They are also base pins for Pietta's and others Google will find them.

Just repeat after me "It's only money."

Preacher loaded it best.

 

[iH8DemLibz]

Nice!

And no wedge to worry about.

 

[Threeband]

I just noticed "Preacher's" has been converted.

Appropriate.

I have the Howell
You have to use "cowboy" loads so ammo price goes up unless you reload.
I already had some trail boss and 500 lead bullets so I gave it a go. My Rem58 is more accurate shooting cartridges but I did it so I could shoot it indoors in the winter and "because I could"

Still, one needs to experience the black powder once in their lives.
