I recently picked up a box of 4 C&B revolver frames. They came with their barrels, and the two Colt clones came with cylinders, but all have been stripped of their remaining parts all the way down to the sights. All are branded Navy Arms, and appear to be Ubertis due to the small logo of a "U" inside a barrel on all but one. I'm planning to rebuild these as I scrounge parts for them. Can anyone tell me how well parts interchange among the various brands? For example, if I stumble across some Pietta or ASM parts, how many of them, if any, are interchangeable with the Uberti parts? I have the following frames: 51 Navy - .36 cal 60 Army - .44 cal 58 Remington - 44 cal 58 Remington - 36 cal

My new Henry Arms H011 New Classic 1860 Henry in .44-40 is the perfect match for my Kirst/Pietta 1860 cartridge conversions. (The H011 is my upcoming January Cowboy Chronicle article) I've been a Henry shooter since I started SASS in 1994, starting with Uberti and Navy Arms (pre-Uberti - US made) until I found the Henry Repeating Arms one. If the Henry Arms 1860 is a Mercedes, the Uberti, which would be a Chevy! The HRA is the slickest, smoothest, from the factory 1860 Henry I have ever had. The fit and finish, the bluing, and polished brass are the richest and nicest of any rifle I have ever owned. Before I got it, the Marlin 1894 Century Limited .44-40 with Doug Turnbull color case and engraving held that spot. -
Just have to brag and gloat a bit. The 8" is a standard Pietta 1860 .44 with a Walt Kirst gated "Saber River" engraved Konverter and ejector rod. The recoil shield has been milled with a channel for loading/unloading cartridges. The other is a Taylor's exclusive 3" inch barrel 1860 snub nose with a humped backstrap Thunderer style bird's head grip. It also has a Kirst gated Konverter with the recoil shield milled for ejecting. I named in my "Avenging Angel" after Tom Berenger's 3" barreled 1860 in the Movie of the same name.

I have a set of stainless 2nd gen 1860 COLT Armies (have been shot) that I would like a good action job done on them. Who would you have work on them.

Well, I went and picked up my second 1872 Open Top out of Californication "one pistol in 30 days" jail. It is a 7.5" .barreled, 45 Colt/Schofield to go with my 4.75" one in the same caliber. Add my 1860 Thunderer 3" with the R&D .45 Colt cylinder as my back up match pistol, and my 1849 Wells Fargo .31 caliber with the .32 S&W R&D cylinder, and I am COMPLETE!!!!! I love the "pointability" of the Open Top 1860ish Colts, and the 1849 is actually a revolver you can hold. The 1863 Remmie with the .32 S&W R&D cylinder was just too darn small, and hard to hold. Now I am ready for the annual High Sierra Shootout at Railroad Flat later this month.

Being a real life retired California Lawman (Tuolumne County Sheriff, in the Motherlode), and a retired US History Teacher, I am fond of California's early Old west... By the time the 1873 Winchester and 1873 Colt Peacemaker were "Taming the West" in Arizona, Montana, and places in between, California had been the Wild West for 25 years! Initially it was 1847 Walkers, Dragoons, and 1851 Navy revolvers, along with front stuffer rifles and Shotguns that armed pioneer Californians. In 1860, during the advent of the War Between the States, the 1860 Henry was a desired, high tech arm in the gold fields. By 1868, conversions of the Remington and Colt percussions were showing up in .44 Henry, .46 French, other assorted rimfires and .44 Martin. (Colt/Remington 44/100) all over the Motherlode. To me, nothing like a couple Cartridge Conversions and a Henry say "the real Early Wild West..." Tuolumne (California) Lawman

Does anyone know if I can have the action worked on an 1860 Henry or a mid 90s Rossi 92? Just curious. I know most speed demons use 73s and 66s. Thanks

Good Afternoon! I'm finally going to get my first lever action SASS legal rifle. I've always been enamored of the classic look of the 1860 Henry, but am somewhat concerned by the brass frame. I remember being cautioned that brass framed revolvers lacked the durability of their steel framed counterparts? Is this an issue with 1860 Henrys (and 1866 Winchesters for that matter?) Or do the reduced loads that we typically use in competition make this a non-issue?

Never had one of these...any enlightenment would be appreciated on how it performs, problems, etc.. Got one at an estate sale, and upon examination found it had never been fired. The son that sold it to me said his daddy was into Civil War re-enactment and had just bought it before he died. I paid him $350.00 for it did I get a good deal? Also, can these be short stroked? Thanks pards. Diamond Jack, The Ultimate Cheater
