Christmas came late?

Boy howdy! Some body named Manless sent me a free box of guns! If I ever meet that fellow i will have to really thank him!

PBR they are hers and I will start on them next monday. I will copy the sliver blade front sight that was put on Wild Bill's 1851 Navy colts. If you want a picture for a sample let me knw and i will post one here. Also on the navy i would open up the hammer notch sight a liitlle and square it up for a good sitght picture. You will need to drift in the front sight and file it down for your load but i will try and get it close by using mine for a sample. BTW I looked through the whole box and didn't find the screw...

OH MY GOD !!!!!! Either PBR finally did something right or .......... 2M's will get the "Red" curse and MY gunsmith will be forever ruined............

Ah, great.

Yeah, I figured the 51 would have to have the hammer opened. The blade you describe will be fine. With it being brass, I probably don't want to shoot anything hotter than 20 grains of 777fff. It came with a powder flask and I hope the guy didn't use the 35gr measurement. But yeah, reasonably close is ok but I'd rather file more down when I get it than it shoot high for me.


As to the wedge screw, the only one that was there was in the wedge when I shipped it. It was all mangled up beyond use anyway (as is the wedge). Sorry for making you look through 20 pounds of peanuts!

The 58 probably feels a bit sludgy. I coated that thing with bore butter a couple years ago and haven't touched it since until the other day where I wiped it off a little.

Thanks!
