@michaeldaley9549 i normally use the steel wool dry and after i go over the gun, i cover the gun in lots of oil. After about a hour. Then blow off or wipe off the extra oil.

Thanks

Do you steel wool inside the barrel or just oil it good

@@michaeldaley9549 i run a barrel brush through the bore and oil

Thanks

@DeucesWildRC there are lots of great choices for riding 2 wheels. I personally am a big high cc sport bike fan. But love riding everything. less than $10 fills up the tank for a fun days ride. I just got back into riding after 17 years away. I rode in high school and college. The bike i have right now is the same year make and model i had back then. Its a 2003 honda cbr600rr. Let me know if you ever get a bike

@@snappers_antique_firearms will do! I’ve been eyeballing the RPS 150 Grom clone lol but also looking at scooters, I haven’t made up my mind yet lol

@@louisianagray8618 you have a great 4th as well.

Definitely not when it comes or original antique guns, especially prior to around 1900. They weren't made to shoot modern smokeless ammo. It's likely it would destroy the gun. Even if it's a modern made rifle or pistol, on paper, it might fit the chamber. But the pressure is a lot higher on 44 magnum. It's a high probability that you would Damage the gun. I have never done it so i really dont know. You could if the Cartridge fits, shoot 44-40 in a 44mag. Because its a far lower pressure. But i really dont know if the Cartridge would fit.

Yeah, if you watch the Wild West Extravaganza TH-cam channel. Bass Reeves accidentally did this. it was a Fairly common thing to happen in the old west. Especially if you carried a colt single action army in 45 colt and a 73 Winchester in 44-40. In person the rounds are very close in size and easy to mix up. Unfortunately, I don't own any 44 magnum or .357 magnum to try. The .357 magnum is going to be far too small in diameter to work. 38 special brass almost falls through the barrel. 44 magnum, though, might fit but be very tight. I am comparing the 44-40 to the 44mag sizes off the internet. They seem Farley close in size.

I have only heard great things about the 2nd gens. I personally dont have much experience with them other than looking at a few. I have a friend who has a 2nd gen pocket navy. it looked very nice. Even the proper silver plating on the brass. I did notice his didn't have Progressive/ gain rifling. But many people have told me there's do...🤷 if you do get it, please let me know if it does. I definitely think they are great buys, and even a good investment. the 2nd gens seem to be the very best replica made of a first gen. Seems they took the making of 2nd gens very seriously. Unlike the 3rd gens. They seemed to be a more money grad. not made to the same quality. Please let me know if you get it. I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

@@snappers_antique_firearms oh I got it for nine will let you know what I see when it comes in

@@snappers_antique_firearms it said new in the ad

@@snappers_antique_firearms I just hope it is a Gentoo and they weren't lying

@louisianagray8618 well gen 3 is called the Signature series. And samuel colts signature is engraved on the backstrap. If it's. Not there then it's a gen2 most likely. When you get it please send pics to my email. Thewildsnapper@gmail.com

I am glade squib. Hope your doing well buddy

@@snappers_antique_firearms pretty much same as always here.

Thanks for being there for us Louisiana gray. We just have to stick it out and fight through it if it happens

Thanks yeah its crazy you go from 100+ to mid 60s in like 15 mins

Happy fathers Day to you as well, Louisiana gray. Today is my sons 13th birthday, so it kind of overshadows fathers Day. But it's ok. Hes a good kid

@@snappers_antique_firearms Lord knows the best present for us is having them and the second best is watching them on their birthday

Thanks brother, its been really nice spending time with the wife.

I really enjoyed the ride up. Just because you quickly went from 101° to 66°. It was such a nice break from the heat. It is winding but never fells theres always some car going slow ruining the fun.

Its a very Bizarre feeling.

They sweet most of the time but they can be very temperamental and they hold a Grudge if you dont feed them there favorite foods. or if you keep them in the stables too long.

Thats been the best thing about it all. Wife has become obsessed with riding and trys to go out everyday. Its fun having this to do together.

Thanks gray

No not yet but boy i would love to have a set. How have you been

@@snappers_antique_firearms G'Day Snapper - I'm GREAT MATE .. just passed my 80th birthday and still playing with 'pop-pops'

@martinkavanagh196 well happy 80th birthday Martin.

Thanks i have a lot of catching up to do. I need to stop by your channel

Yeah we need to find the person ratting you guys out to youtube

WUT? What the hell for? Y'all are family friendly if anybody is!

That is a shame Garrett as good of a guy as you are and they have to pick on you

I saw they had banned your video on building the lock. Crazy!!

All it takes is for a couple Karen’s to start mass reporting and bam! Your channel is struck down. I really hope you guys can figure out who’s false reporting your channel and fix that crap. Have you tried reaching out to TH-cam via email, instead of just appealing your strike?

Sweet, thanks for letting us know. Always looking for good reputable companies we can point people to

Thanks

Yes it is! I have 3 early first gen SAAs they are my favorite guns of all time

Thanks

Thanks for stopping by Benjy

Glade you enjoyed the show Louisiana gray

I have never heard of dick Fairburn until just now. Looks like a good channel and is worth a sub. That song is one of like 15 old west sounding free music from youtubes creater page. There are quite a few of us gun channels with the same song.

@@snappers_antique_firearms That's awesome man. Definitely check out Dick Fairburn, he's very good and delves pretty deeply into the history of handguns. He's going to have a Wild Bill Hickok coming up and what pistol he would have carried had he been alive nowadays. Carry on with your awesome Colt videos and I'll subscribe as well today. I own a 3rd gen 1860 that is my EDC so I'm always searching for new videos on Colt pistols.

@codered7453 i definitely will, and thanks again for pointing out dick fairburns channel. I am always looking for good channels. How do you like your 3rd gen? I have never had the chance to look over or shoot any 3rd gens other than a quick look at a pocket navy a friend had. i mostly only have experience with first-generation colts. Does the 3rd gen 1860 have gain twist rifling like the first gen?

@snappers_antique_firearms Man, I love my 3rd Gen. It's very well made and finished. Even though Uberti helped build them, if you put them side by side, the Colt looks much better finished. It does have 7 groove gain twist rifling, and I actually had to make a front site for mine because it shot too high, but now, it's perfect. Shoots exactly where I aim it, and I've never had a single cap jam or chainfire. I had one misfire so far from using my self-made paper cartridge, and it was only because I twisted the rear paper too much to reliably ignite. Otherwise, never a single problem. The hammer spring is very heavy, so that may be why it doesn't cap jam or fail to fire. I wanted a Ruger Old Army but found the Colt in its original case and all accouterments and it had never even been fired so I bought it and now having practiced with it so much and knowing that it is (in my experience thus far) 99% reliable I wouldn't trade it for any Ruger. I carry it everywhere and shoot it every weekend so to answer your question in the most roundabout way, yessir I'm very happy with it. I hope to see you aquire a 3rd Gen 1860 at some point and do a review on it to see how it compares to an original.

@codered7453 thats great to hear they didn't lower any standards when making the 3rd gen. I have heard many people say bad things about 3rd gens. But come to find these people dont own one and are probably just repeating something they heard off the internet. Glade to hear from someone who actually owns and shoots one. I have been thinking of getting a few 2nd or 3rd gens. I would love to get a copy of each original colt i own. So i can display them together. show what the originals looked like when new..... when it comes to shooting high. every original colt i have ever shot shoots high. The main reason is people were trained back then to shoot at the belt Buckle, not center mass. This was because of the rainbow arc you get out of large caliber blackpowder loads. This made hits on a person out to 100 yards easy by not even needing to Compensate for distance by aiming in a different location..

I personally saw it sad that the show used a brass frame 1860 army colt as a Griswold and gunnison. They really messed that up.

Thanks, yeah, very heavy hammer springs on original Colts. With all my original Colts, they rarely get cap jams. It happens just not that often.

I forgot to include that information. But right after carding with 000 steel wool, each piece is oiled heavily. I prefer Balistol. After a few hours of soaking in oil. I then blow the parts off with compressed air before assembling the firearm. Leaves just the right amount of oil on the gun.

​@snappers_antique_firearms do you have a cheap ultrasonic cleaner or an expensive one?

@awnzotheman a cheap harbor freight, but I want to get a larger, more powerful one soon. Its a good idea to use an Ultra sonic cleaner, but it's not 100% necessary.

@@snappers_antique_firearms thx

it will Definitely be in a future part

The match box route might be your best bet where you live.

Congrats, you will love it

Thanks!!

If it's a modern replica, then, of course, getting a new cylinder is the easiest option. the revolver in this video. It's a numbers matching colt model of 1849 pocket. That was made in 1858. You can buy a new cylinder, but the ones that are made for originals are not roll engraved. They wont match the finish on the revolver. It really depends how far gone a part is or if its reasonably fixable.

Hey, gray, good to see you, buddy. That 92 of yours is still a really nice revolver. Yeah, it was a light strike on that first cylinder. Forgot to tighten the screw that adds tension to the hammer spring. It's surprising that any of the rounds fired. I have gotten pretty good at working on these 1877s. The best way to get one is to find one that's broken at a way lower price.. i would be happy to get it running for you just for the price of any parts it may need. its hard to tell from the videos. These 1877s are smaller guns. The 32 rain makers, 38 lighting, and the 41 thunderer are all the same size. The frame is the same size as a 49 pockets frame. The birds head grip on the 1877 will fit on a 49 pocket. Screws dont line up, but it's the right size. So, the best way to think of the 1877s. a 49 pocket with a top strap that's double action in 41 colt. I use my thunderer as my concealed carry most of the time.

Wow, it sounds like you scored with that revolver. I would have shot it as well. A few rounds will never hurt it. If you care to get it closer to point of aim. You can get a gun smith to rotate the barrel. it will shoot closer to the point of aim left and right. All colts from the 1800 shoot high. If you look up the way people used to aim, it's different than today. Instead of shooting center mass. They would shoot at belt Buckle Height. Because of the rainbow trajectory, it would allow the shooter to hit a target at a longer range without changing the point of aim. I also have a shooting video if you care to see it. Congrats again on your thunderer.

Theres a reason i did it this way. The grips are signed by other youtubers who helped get this original Griswold and gunnison up and running. I didnt want to glue over there names. It works just fine with no issues. But they do sound Hollow when cocking the hammer. Your right it would be better to go with the original style center. Thanks for stopping by

It's a great show. I definitely recommend going at least once.
