New Old Pietta Brasser '51 44cal
Was flipping through local listings on Armslist and saw an unfired brasser for $125. Offered the guy $100, and he said sure. Not like we all haven't seen a bunch of these, but I was surprised when the date code was 2003. Was more expecting he got this at Christmas and wasn't into black powder. I only wanted it for the barrel and cylinder, but everything lines up, timing perfect, and real narrow BC gap. Probably leave it intact, but I needed another gun like ... well.. we can always use another, right?

Those brassers are so smooth righ out of the box. As long as you only feed them 20grs or less powder they’ll go for years and years. I still shoot a couple in CAS matches even though I have plenty others.
