SCORE ! .31 Uberti Model 1849 C&B Revolver

<< < (2/2)

Russ, Hadn't heard of those nipples.  Looked them up and they do look pretty neat.  And $36 isn't too bad for a set of premium nipples.  Pricey, but not too bad.  Are you aware of any chrono tests that have been made?

I have no idea how many containers of RWS 1075 caps I have, but some are even in the metal tins.  Is there a shelf life on caps?  At my current rate of fire, I am sure I have a lifetime supply, and then more.  Heck, right now, a tin of caps could be that.  And then, of course, there are the musket caps and conversion nipples I could use on the rifles.  Plus a handful of rocks for the flint guns.

Petah, I cannot help but think that you maybe should have jumped on both of those pistols while you were at it.  That Sheriff's model in .44 does indeed look interesting.  How much did they want for that one?

I've been on a short buying spree, and only had enough $$$ for the Uberti (I no longer used plastic).

The .44 Sheriff went for $275 + shipping.

I also found a .44cal 1851 Pietta 5" bbl  @ $300 shipped: https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/pietta-51-navy-44.129177/

(EDIT: It looks to have sold, in the time since I posted about it)

Someone else there has 3 C&B revolvers @ $150 each, that have some rust issues (pics in separate ads for each gun)

The Uberti arrived yesterday, and it's new/un-fired, as advertised - the grips are IMO spectacular, and the seller included a box of 100 round balls !







I'm gonna be making a presentation case for it soon.
