DONE Black powder revolver

[fnfalguy]

Looking for a couple for display. LMK what you may have. Figured I’d ask here before buying new.

check out your local gun stores and see what's in there cases .. new .. used .. broken ( shops with a smith there ) ..

i paid 200 for mine at a small gun shop in bath ny .. it was alone in the glass display surrounded by smokeless pistols ..

 

[fnfalguy]

Appreciate the thought. I can buy them all day new online for 280 to 350 (depending on manufacturer). My local shops have wanted much more than that for a used brass framed beat to heck one. Thus my query.

 

[Bustedknees]

I thought I'd buy another bp revolver during the big shortage but it seems everyone else had the same thoughts.. every new revolver I like is out of stock..

 

[Robin]

I cannot believe what they are getting for those things, when you can find them. You looking for a shooter of a wall hanger? I'll keep my eyes open.

[fnfalguy]

For now a wall hanger, but when I move, I imagine it will get used. Steel frame since I'm being picky.

 

[Bustedknees]

because of this thread, I rechecked on a wish list gun from Taylor firearms and it was back in stock !
I reserve the right to place blame on @fnfalguy if the wife sees the package before I can hide it..

 

[fnfalguy]

Lol. I'll take the blame. Been that sort of a day so far.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Yeah, I've been eyeing bp revolvers for a while.

Tracking number says I'll have mine on Monday.

My new 1860 Italian .44
Wish i had ordered the cylinder conversion with it, did not know they need to be fitted.
Never fooled with anything other than single shots so I'll be in need of a few accessories too..

 

[diggs223]

hope you have supplies to shoot it, BP supplies are just as hard to get as CF reloading

 

[Robin]

Busted, does the conversion cylinder make it a .44 Special? Pretty cool gun!!!!

Btt, patience is a virtue, right?

Wouldn't know, I have none..

Just bought me one of these 1851 Navys from Taylor's. I've been on the fence for a while and have missed out on some better deals. Today I went for it. It's not in the historical .36, it's a .44 and it has checkered grips but it is what is available.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

It seems black powder revolvers are out of stock everywhere. Don't know if that's a panic thing or just supply disruptions with covid. I wanted one of these for a few reasons. They are cool and a nice piece of history for one. I'm also thinking worst case....

 

[Bustedknees]

can't vouch for this site but they do have some inventory.

The battle is tough but some people just don't care. I hate it. I really do. Today we had to block a few persons from accessing our website. We also had to cancel over $20,000 in orders. Why? Because it's the right thing to do. We could have let those orders go through. But, we didn't. It cost us over $1,200 to cancel those orders. Each credit card transaction costs us about 3%. Figure in that running the card cost us 3% and then crediting the transaction cost us another 3%. How many statements do we need to put on our website? How many places do we need to put where you have to agree to the daily and individual limitations. People try to act all slick willy and figure out ways around the limitations we've placed and then act all coy like they had no idea....... Come on folks. I may look like an idiot but most of the time I'm not and this ain't my first rodeo. Heck folks, I've even had people contact me and ask for me to charge them 10% more than our listed price and allow them to purchase $50,000 to $100,000 worth of powder per month. We're not going to do it folks. I've said this over and over. We're here because we're shooters supporting shooters. We need to work together through this!

PM sent where you can find a few

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Well, she arrived yesterday, but naturally the ups guy tried to deliver when I wasn't home. Any other time they show up well after I get home from work. But when they need a signature, they show up early.... Went to UPS and picked it up myself. She's a beaut!!! It feels even better in the hand than the 1873 clone I have. I also stopped on the way home for some other things to celebrate, lol. Will post in the other thread as well.
I have most of the components to fire her on order, I just cannot find caps. I bought some nipples from Slix-Shot. If anyone has and would sell Remington#10, CCI#11 or RWS 1075 sized percussion caps, let me know.

 

[Bustedknees]

I see people changing out the factory nipples , but why ?

The stock nipples sometimes aren’t the best in terms of quality control.

As of now, I can't even get the wedge loose so I can take the barrel off. I guess this is an issue with Pietta's some times.
