Due to the Corona virus stay-at-home order, I've been watching dozens of Wild West documentaries of America's most famous and infamous figures. It's got me all excited about becoming better with cap and ball revolvers. I'm nothing to marvel at but am getting good enough to be dangerous! I really do miss my friend Joe's camera work in my last videos with his Apple iPhone. I just decided to make this impromptu video with my years-old android phone, propping it up against a 2 by 4. I've got to hand it to all the TH-camrs who make all their videos alone. Anyway, bear with this until I can come back. I've still got so many pieces in my collection that I have yet to debut!
im eager to see your collection, you could sit down and cover everything one by one :) I like the 1858, mine shoots good. Its an original but it still fires :) I carry it around sometimes in the woods. Most people think that during the western era, everyone had cartridge guns when in reality a larger percentage of the population stayed with the classic black powder gun. Also another reason why older guns, like Winchesters are rare. If you want something realistic to compare too, its like today and cars. When you have a 2019 truck and then new 2020 comes out, a very small amount of people run to get the newest one. Some even have 1990 honda civics still... same thing with guns.
All of my cap and ball revolvers are Uberti replicas. I've looked at originals, but, alas, I just don't have the money for them. Cap and ball stuck around for quite a while, and then people used conversion cylinders (which I don't own) with them. They really are a nice prepper gun.
@@littlehouseguy7782 im considering buying a conversion cylinder but I'd need to shave off alittle metal around it. I did that with a pietta cylinder for it to fit the frame. Repros are alot bigger then the originals. Mine is a. 36 cal so I would need to. 38 special cylinder but then again, it's very expensive since I'm in Canada... Us to cdn money exchange isn't great. You should do a video on your rifles. You have a nice 1886.
@@northernwoodsman Thanks, I'll consider it. I can't stand the nasal timbre of my voice, so that's why most of my videos are just standing long shots. I would like to make a video with my original 1860 Spencer Carbine in .56-.56 and my model 1867 Spencer rifle in .56-.50. I had those planned, but then all the virus stuff happened. Yeah, the reason I've decided not to get a conversion cylinder is basically that although it is legal to own one, due to California's strict gun laws, it would be illegal for me to put it in a cap and ball revolver because then I would make a gun that fires a metallic cartridge that is not registered.
@@littlehouseguy7782 I can only have this gun in Canada out in the woods because it's an antique. Anything else and I'd go to jail for that. Handguns are allowed no problem but you need to be at a range.
Yeah.....I actually own (all in Uberti) an 1847 Colt Walker (which I have damaged with hot loads), an 1851 Colt Navy, the 1858 Remington, and an 1860 Colt Army. I guess I like the sights on the Remington best, but I have done better with my 1851 Colt Navy in .36 caliber.
