WORTH GETING DIRTY FOR!

I really like my Pietta 1860 by Traditions. It was gifted by a good friend a couple years ago. It was a bit raspy at first but repeated cycling of the action, dismantling, cleaning and then cycling it some more seemed to smooth it out just fine. Very decent trigger and after a bit of use it's a right handy popper. I keep eyeing those 1851's and 1861's, but haven't pulled the trigger on one. Too many other needs right now. Still, I'm fascinated by them and each time I pick one up I'm reminded of what the boys from Missouri could do with them. And as a boy from Missouri, they call to me.

I really should buy an 1851. I love the handling of them and haven’t had one in a few years.

I have a little pocket .31 I got from Hoot. I used the thin file and squared up the notch in the hammer and it fixed a much better sight picture. Come to think of it I also dovetailed a beaded post front sight in it because it was shooting very high. It’s pretty much dead on now.

I was laughing the other day I got in my Z71 and the inside smelled really bad. Between the black powder handguns and the fired rocket engines we left inside it took a few days to air out.
