Starting off a new C&B shooter the right way
« on: March 26, 2017, 03:26:35 PM »
My oldest Grandson has his 30th Birthday today. He shoots a ML in-line Rifle, but has no C&B Revolver.
I just happen to have a spare Pietta 1860, like new condition in the box. I tuned the piece for a spare. The piece has Slix-shot nipples, new reduced springs, safety notch filled on the hammer and ready to shoot with confidence. ( I shot this piece in monthly SASS matches a couple of times, shoots great)

I also dug out from the spare's closet a snail capper, 200 Remington #10 caps, 100 44 balls, a pound of 3F APP powder, a nipple wrench, a Colt powder flask W/ 30 gr. spout, flask funnel, and a reproduction civil war black flap holster. Plus a large pistol soft rug to store the piece in.

This Grandson will be ready to shoot and make smoke !!!!!!!!!!!

I hope someone(Grandson) will be smart enough to say "thank you". ;)

BTW; he is the Master Welder who Tig-welds my hammer notches, and welds my small delicate projects. He welded the notch on the piece I gave him, and he is holding.
