Shipping for my pair of Uberti's was $13 and change for the pair. Cabela's should be starting their annual fall blackpowder sale soon too...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Cabelas hasn't been putting much gun stuff on sale lately. On the positive side the Cimarron 1851 I bought earlier this year had a perfectly-fitted arbor so maybe there's hope after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Cabela’s has been Bass Pro’d. Things are going downhill there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I have a pair of .44 '51 Confederate Navies, don't think I paid that much for both of them (yeah, it's been awhile). I do believe they have the sweetest "feel" of any gun I've had in my hand. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Yep, and they're sweet as sugar. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I won one of them ".44 '51 Confederate Navies" once. Immediately turned to my son, said "Here ya go," and handed it to him. Made us both happy, I reckon. Had it been a .36 I'd-a kept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 I've had brass framed C&B's before, and ya gotta be careful with them. I've got three Griswold & Gunnison repros, and one of them had a rather loose arbor from either full loads or improper disassembly. Some super-duper two part adhesive called Belzona E-Metal took care of that problem, and it's worked fine ever since. I shoot minimum loads in them though.

Rooster Ron Wayne Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I love my 44 Pietta Colt 51s. They have become two of my favorite Cap Guns . Bought them new . Sent them to Mike too get Goonerized . I Custom fitted some Faux Ivory Grips . Installed some Sliks shot nipples and fell in love again .

Mine are even farther away from reality because they have "sheriff" length barrels. I also have Howell conversion cylinders for them. Love running .45 Colts in them with black powder. The deal from Wholesale Hunter is great. May just have to pick one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Two of mine are branded High Standard and one Navy Arms. High Standard only commissioned 2100 of them, between '74 and '76, so they're a bit uncommon. No boxes for mine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole series of Confederate pistols was at the auction but they decided to break them up and not sell in one bunch. I probably would not have had this otherwise. All of the pistols were the same serial number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
