Thanks Leo & Mason,

As promised here's the pic of my oldest c&b, the ASM 1851 "WTF" Griswold & Gunnison.  Where to even start?!?  To even start resembling anything accurate it should have a smooth cylinder for starters, and the next glaring error is the hexagonal barrel where a round one should have been replicated.  But... I think what really was the driving factor in this pistol was ASM trying to get a lower price point with CVA to sell to another type of buyer.  Meaning me, the starving college student where you decide "one for under $100, or the one over $100 dollars"?


ASM 1851 Brass Frame

Regardless.  I like it!  It's my first blackpowder firearm and I can't even begin to figure out how many round balls I've put through it!  Soon to go to Steve's Gunz for some action work.

This is my Uberti made in 1967, has the original G and G features you mentioned.  It needs an tuning too and I'm dead set on doing it at home.  Wish me luck.

Thanks!  After getting familiar with the 1860 I'm beginning to see the differences, read concessions, made for the Cimmaron RM Type II.  It's cylinder is virtually ginormous side by side to the standard 1860!

I just picked up this New Model. Delivered Dec 1864. Covered in inspector marks. about 80% Blue, mint bore, mint nipples, full blue in cylinders, probably never issued or fired. Super tight action. 100% case color on hammer. No metal wear just blue wear, probably from handling and playing over the past 145 years.

I though yall might enjoy the pics.

I have several original Civil War carbines, muskets, and pistols, and I have shot them all, at least once.

That's a fine one there.  I can see why you'd want ta change the grips.  I'm sure you'll be having lots of fun with that one.

I recently purchased a Military Model 3rd Model Dragoon w/shoulder stock off of GunBroker.  It hit the doorstep today.  The pistol was made by Armi San Marco in 1977.  At first glance, it looks to be in very good condition.  Metal was dry as a bone.  A little surface rust in the cyl notches, around the nipples and on the barrel; but nothing that a little RB-17 and 0000 steel wool won't fix.  Bore is dirty; but in excellent shape,  Nipples are in good shape, no mushrooming and only the faintest hint of nipple mark on the hammer face.  All in all - damn fine shaper for a pistol that's 32 years old and probably hasnt seen any oil in a decade.

First thing I did was cycle the action.  Boy, was that a dissapointment.  Action was terrible, and hammer hung up when the trigger was pulled.  So, I proceeded to break it down.  When I pulled the barrel off, the cylinder fell off, Bolt doesn't hold very well.  In looking at it, it looks like it's a little too short coming through the window.

Found out why the action was so bad, hammer spring screw was only screwed in about half way.  Only thing that kept it in cocntact with the hammer was the grips.  After tightening the hammer spring screw, I put the grips & backstrap back on.  Thats when I found out why the screw was loose.  The hammer spring musta come from an overload spring on a 1 ton or 2 ton truck.  It was all I could do to cock it one handed.  That'll need some lightening.

The shoulder stock furniture is brass - It just has a lot of patina.  I'm not sure if this is the stock that ASM sold with them in the 70s.  The brass around the hammer slot & the underside is too clean, so it may be an Army/Navy stock that was machined to fit.

I havent striped it down totally - yet.  That will come after I run a few cylinders full through it - with and without the shoulder stock.  I plan is to take it out tomorrow sometime and seeing what it will do.  Will save the tune-up for after the first shooting session.

Here are the first pictures of it

Love that Rogers and Spencer Conversion, you don't see too many of those. Cry That Starr Revolver is pretty nice but I'm alittle fuzzy on the reloading procedure.
