I picked up the Pietta 1860 already, and taking it BACK to Cabela's already. As everyone knows, a BP firearm needs to be throughly cleaned of oil before shooting the first time.
WELL!! The barrel wedge is frozen in place, I cannot get it out to clean the new oil off and I am not about to shoot it and not be able to disassemble it for cleaning. It don't even wiggle.
However, that said, the action is smooth as butter, tight lock-up, excellent fit and finish and a trigger pull as good as any off-the-shelf S&W in single action. Not only that, it is purdy.
Will post again on outcome later this evening, 02-Aug-10
