- I picked up this 1851 Brass Sheriff 5 1/2" barrel chambered in .44 caliber from BUDK. These are fun and functional reproduction pistols. This vid shows how they pack and ship these. Please comment with your thoughts down below.

I've been told the use of brass on the original versions was due to lack of steel vs brass availability.
Cheaper, easier and faster to cast for the confederacy
The brass frame guns were mostly made in the Confederate States of America exactly as you said because of a lack of steel.
I like the brass look . Looking forward to seeing them fire. Thanks Cobra
Right on
Just ordered my first bp navy from budk thanks for the vid 🤘🏽
Thanks for the video. I'm excited getting my first black power revolver.
excellent
I appreciate the video. Just started getting into gun collecting love the quality of these firearms and the unique style of ammo involved.
I am also starting to make my own black powder.very fun to do.i have always liked the old west and the weapons that they used.good luck with yours.
It is a fun way to own some history (well, reproduction in my case).
I've bought 2 Piettas and both I had to do a little gunsmithing on...First thing you do before anything is remove the bolt and round off the chisel sharp end of the bolt that that slips off the wedge on the hammer...if you don't it will cut through the side of the wedge it slips off and in short time mess up the timing...One of mine would slip off and the bolt would come up at half cock so the cylinder wouldn't spin unless I held the hammer just short of half cock...when I discovered that, I disassemble my other 1851 navy that was hammering before the beginning of the lead in slot on the cylinder and also carving a line on the cylinder and discovered the same thing. Had to buy new hammers for both and softened the sharp end of the bolt...took care of the problem and now the timing is perfect...These were both brand new and unfired....
Those are cool, I really like the 1860s👍🍻
My favorite so far is my 1858 Remington. Cylinder removal and installation way easier. But I haven't fired any yet.
I got a Sheriff, minus scroll work. A Blast Now the Brass will stretch, Blackie Thomas does explain takes a few years, But hey for less than $300 shipped NO FFL involvement can not complain. I only run 20 grains a load, just punching hole in paper and aluminum, hoping to keep it for a minute. Looking at some steel frames liking the 36 cal 7 inch barrel, do not know yet. Yes they black powder is awesome, The thing here is the "SAFETY" one can rest the hammer BETWEEN the cylinders and carry the full 6, instead of 5 hammer on the empty cylinder
Excellent post. thank you
Looks nice!!
Thanks. Much appreciated
How'd that loading lever work out? Seems too short to get leverage.
Here in New Mexico they just dropped it in the box. The ram rod is too short for me to do by hand. I damaged the latch by using a little pipe to give leverage.
oh
since you have both of the them, i been wondering for a while if the 5.5 inch 44 Navy Barrel will fit on the Army frame with the full sized Army grips?
1851 should fit on the 1860 army if that is what you are asking. I haven't tried any swaps but Guns of the West has some vids doing similar I believe.
@@TheRealCobraBurnout ive started making... well basically a 1962 pocket version of 1860 Army, or Navy lol... Full size Army Grips with a block front Navy barrel in 44 cut down to 6.25 inches. I just have to fit the loading lever.
@@claytonalexander9105 Oh, that sounds interesting. Are you going to put up a vid on it when its done?
I have a 1858 also, l am fixing to get me a 1851 l really like that one you got looks very nice
thanks
I converted my brass frame to steel
using ebay
Only $175.00 bucks and is even case harden
and says 2022 on it.
I also replaced the wood grips with gold flake in peal white.$35.00
Cobra, Nice gun, I really like that. Should be fun to shoot.
Thanks
.44 cal = bigger boom , more smoke, more knock down power!😎
like the remingtons
Thats my fav so far.
I like shooting them, but the reload can be a bit lengthy...lol. I cast some "mini" balls, but they don't fit under the loading ram.
My intent is to bench load paper cartridges in advance. Hopefully cutdown on potential powder spills or mess out on the old range. And speed up that part at least.
@@TheRealCobraBurnout I want to try paper cartridges, but after watching a couple videos on how to make them, I'm like, I got snack cakes to eat....lol
@@saltyshellback never interfere with snack cake consumption
I like black powder and give a thumb up for your video. PS, I so far have two Remington style pistols, one .36 and one .44. I'm seriously considering the shorter Colts style Sheriff model.
Thank you for checking out the vid and the great comment.
@@TheRealCobraBurnout My pleasure. Will you be doing a shooting video of this gun?
@@Ballenxj not in the current weather. Plus TH-cam has been flagging and pulled alot of my pistol and rifle content.
This is beautiful looking with the brass👍 . Black powder matters! If I can buy any black powder?????
indeed
Very nice 😃
Thank you kindly
Have you ever shot one of those and if so what you thoughts ?

Mine has barrel droop it's not completely at 90° to the receiver
Send it back
TheRealCobraBurnout : I have a serious question?
Have you ever had any trouble with "BudK" like in terms of identiy theft, or them just taking the money and not sending the product?
Cause I want to buy a gun from them but am worried about a shifty employee pocketing the money and not getting my gun.
lol
Getting into um hard now eh. I love my little smoke makers. Hell bro it aint that hard to make your own Black powder. And get yourself a 454 mold and all you have to buy is caps. You can make those too but they are too delicate for me.
I have a bad habit of late night internet shopping. Lol
Wpuldnt by chance know where to get caps would anyone?
not currently
What no air force edition?
Army is Air Force Heritage.
Needs to be made in 36. ASM made them in 36.
The brass part is not a receiver its called a frame
K
Very cool! BTW check your email!
Got it!
