1861 Navy - Full length video
I finished the full length video on the 1861 Navy revolver. It is a pretty long video, so I hope it can hold people's interest.

Thanks Duelist for the over view . I have a question . I really like my Pietta 1860 buy the rear sight grove in the hammer is not center so she shoots left by about half the front blade .
Other then welding up the hammer and re cutting the grove , is there a place where I could get a blank hammer and then file a new grove ? |

nice video, I can't wait to get a black powder one day soon. is it just me, or is that screw above your trigger backing out? probably just the camera view. anyways, great video, your camera does a great job.

Mike, are Kaido Ojama's conical bullets available for purchase or just his bullet mold?

Always enjoy your videos.
Question: the paper cartridges, do they leave unburnt paper or other detritus in the cylinders? Thanks for keeping me entertained. |

Paper cartridges do leave a little ash in the chambers.

Somewhat off topic, but have you a suggestion where to obtain the necessaries for making these paper cartridges? I have read where some folks soak newsprint in saltpeter to make the cartridges, supposedly assuring complete combustion of the paper.
Too, I wonder if you have found a suitable mould for casting conicals to work well with the paper. Lastly, the neat cartridge boxes, where do you find those to hold your finished paper cartridges? |

As I said in the video John Gurnee makes the cartridges. They are excellent.
Here's his email [email protected] |

Kaido sells his cast bullets as well. I don't know what his .36 cal bullets go for, but the .44/.45 cal bullets were $50/100 + shipping last I saw.

Hm. I guess I didn't ask my question clearly. I understand that finished cartridges may be obtained from the gentleman whose email address you have provided. I am looking for the materials to make them, including moulds for the oddly shaped conical bullets, and wondered if you had a suggestion for sourcing them.
Thanks. I'll keep looking online. If I find a good source, I'll share it here. Regards, Stubb |

Has anyone tried to purchase any conicals from Kaido Ojama? I can't seem to find anywhere selling them. I did find a post where Kaido said he would be selling moulds for his .36 cal, but I couldn't find a spot where he said "or just buy the bullets outright!"

As far as I know only he sells them, and does sell cast up bullets. You need to contact him through his email. I'm told it can take a while to get a response though.
