Pietta 1851 colt navy 36 cal performace report

Being brand new to this kind of firearm, but wanting one of these, I finally bought my 36 caliber from cabelas..after getting all the things needed, I finally hit the woods to try it out...Its a terrific bargain for the buck! Shoots smooth, and very accurate..One chamber failed to go off.l.when I got home and broke it down, I discovered that the nipple was loose...after I tightened it up, it fired flawlessly..I almost feel like one of you "pros"...lol..but again, its a great replica..and is 95% on target at whatever one aims it at...I'm very satisfied...now,I have to get that soapy hot water ready to clean it up...

There should be a sign up at the Cabela's black powder section. "Abandon all hope ye who enter here"
