I was thinking of polishing the trigger guard on my 58, want to trade? Or you could take the trigger guard off and let it sit in the rain overnight.my daughter really likes the 1858 but doesn't like the high polished trigger guard or the frame in high polish brass either. I figure antiquing it wouldn't be too hard.
Correct, on the Colt clones (51 & 60) The barrel/loading lever assembly comes off by removing the wedge. The 1858 barrel is threaded and screws in.What does the wedge do? Is that how you remove the barrel?
Sounds to me like she will really love that 1851 Sheriff model then. It should be very accurate with 17 grains of BP an a little corn meal filler, and It's on sale for $130 right now! You can't beat that with a club.You guys are determined to turn a 250 day into 600 aren't you?
Unless accuracy really will suffer I am not really looking for a big boom. Especially for her.
Start a thread about it. I bet you can find sombody on this forum that can hook you up.I really need to find someone local with a home range that will barter usage for brass and steel targets or other shooting setups like a shooting stand or similar.
We just never have time to shoot when my back or her leg isn't giving her grief everything is closed or not open yet.
Any private ranges besides porter county cc close to chesterton?
PCCC sounds nice but I just am too embarrassed about trying to join without being able to meet their service requirements and I can't handle sitting through their monthly meeting to find a sponsor.
