Let's see your black powder beauty's. Here's mine

Pietta 1851 in .44

Hawg · April 18, 2017, 07:49 PM

That's not a .44, my pics don't work here anymore.

sixgunnin · April 18, 2017, 08:02 PM

You have a good eye, my pics don't work either so I found one online. (that one happens to be a .36, you're right) But mine is a .44

Oliver Sudden · April 18, 2017, 08:49 PM

This one I just finished, the third long rifle I've built. 40 calibre swamped barrel, Siler lock kit, Davis triggers and a fair piece of curly maple. This is my first attempt at engraving so it's just simple lines.

Here's my .50 cal Lyman Deerstalker:

Here's my Ruger Old Army:

And here's my Pietta Remington New Model Army:

Preface: I am retired on a fixed income, and can only afford one pistol per year.

I went to the Pietta 1851 Navy .36 type pistols because of the interchangeability of parts. All repros shown below. The first three are original Pietta pistols from Cabela's. The rest are mix and match guns.

1851 Navy Second Model Squareback TG (even though the load-lever pivot screw enters from the left, which is not historically correct)

Griswold and Gunnison

1851 Navy 3rd/4th Model (depending upon TG size/shape)

Leech and Rigdon

Schneider and Glassick

My favorite 1851 Navy fantasy pistol: a Navy .36 Second Model Dragoon

Caveat: all six pistols were created from three original pistols just by swapping frames, barrels, and cylinders.

If Alessandro Pietta or his reps are monitoring, I believe there is a market for a Dance .36 based on an 1851 Navy .36 frame. I want one. The Dance .36 is historically correct. Pietta produces a Dance .44 on a modified 1851 frame (in which the water table is not cut for a rebated cylinder but is lowered) for the non-rebated Pietta cylinder that is much larger than a Pietta .36 Navy cylinder.

Dangit, why does everybody else's photobucket pics work here and mine don't?

AKexpat · April 19, 2017, 04:35 PM

Hawg, I PM'd you.

Hawg · April 19, 2017, 05:53 PM

Answered you.

Fingers McGee · April 19, 2017, 06:41 PM

Here's one of my more rare C&Bs. A true carbine.

Fingers McGee · April 19, 2017, 06:43 PM

And a few cased sets.

Bill Akins · April 19, 2017, 08:22 PM

Here's mine.

Armi San Marcos Sheriff's model .36 cal.

My restored Uberti 1858 Remington with fluted .45 Colt cartridge conversion cylinder.

My Uberti 1858 carbine .44 cal.

My two nickel plated Pietta 1860's with stainless fluted cylinders. .44 cal.
They originally came with gold wash plated fluted cylinders, but the gold flakes off if you shoot them, so I replaced the cylinders with stainless fluted ones and replaced the gold hammers with case hardened ones.

My CVA, double set triggers, mountain rifle, .50 cal.

.

Hawg · April 19, 2017, 08:48 PM

Dragoon and navy.

G&G

Uberti/Cimarron model P .44WCF

Remington navy

Guess

Hawg · April 19, 2017, 08:57 PM

P53 Enfields. A repro and an original

.54 Hawken built from scratch but not by me.

Pedersoli 12 gauge

Guess that will do for now.

sixgunnin · April 19, 2017, 10:13 PM

Very nice collections!

the possum · April 21, 2017, 09:26 AM

No one has shown a little one yet. How 'bout Navies in .36 and .17?

All navies are .36, the .44's are Italian fantasies and I never saw a .17 cap and ball before. I posted two navies and a G&G all .36. Those you posted are fantasy pieces too.

the possum · April 21, 2017, 10:40 AM

Yes. Thank you.

The mini one is a Colt, made under license in Italy. You can get a factory letter on 'em from Colt, so I think that's good enough to call genuine.

sixgunnin · April 21, 2017, 10:46 AM

I....Think Hawg will have something to say about that.

the possum · April 21, 2017, 11:03 AM

I'm sure he will.

Fantasy or not, I don't really care.

I'll believe that when I see somebody post a pic of one. The Colt 3rd gens were made under license but Colt wont letter them.

Old Stony · April 21, 2017, 12:44 PM

Hawg...now you've got me jealous ! I have a lot of muzzleloaders laying around here, but got the bug for an Enfield a while back. I picked up a nice..possibly unfired Navy Arms Enfield barrel, and figured I'd find one of those stock/hardware deals on Ebay maybe and put together one for myself. It hasn't been looking too promising so far. That's a great looking pair you have...

Hawg · April 21, 2017, 03:36 PM

Thanks OS. I bought my repro in 1980 IIRC and when I bought the original I paid less than a repro costs now.
