Randingo Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Spoke with him last week. Was going to send her out last Friday but am waiting on her little sister to arrive. This will be my first set of BP guns I've had any work done to. Am very excited to be able to shoot them in a match this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Sorry Jabez Old Boy. Those barrels are almost and just at four inches TOO LONG. 4 inches of wasted steel. The Steel conservationists will be all over ya for those. Snubbies ROCK!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellows that can't handle real guns with barrels over 4 1/8 inches can't come and Play in Canada............... So they are missing out on Barrels of Fun ....

Rooster Ron Wayne Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Just found out capping the Cones on a 51is a lot tougher then the 60. I had to modify my snail Capper and my straight line Capper to get them both to work. Has anyone tried the new polish Capper for the Colts on the Pietta 51s yet to see if they fit ?

Rooster I have the exact opposite problem. I can cap my Uberti 1851 easily, but I can't cap my Centaure 1860 through the side as the frame is still in the way and would have to take a grinder to it. So instead I have to cap it through the hammer cutout. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday Creek Kid Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Very nice! I'm hoping to get back in the game after a long layoff. I'm going to start with a pair of '51 Navy's and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is Centaure 1860 ? The Centaure was a Belgian-made 1860 replica made during the 1960s-70s. The issue I'm having is that the divot in the frame isn't deep enough and prevents sliding a cap onto the nipple. I would have to take a Dremel or some files to the frame to allow the caps to go on, which would look like hell afterwards. I've tried using a straight line capper, cash capper and of course my fingers. Since I learned I can cap it just fine by going down through the top I'm not as worried about it as I used to be.
