Quote from: Galloway on Yesterday at 08:18:01 PM

 I have two without arbor modifications that will do under 4'' at 25 yards, but the poi is roughly 3'' high at 12yards, 6'' high at 25yards, and 12-15'' high at 50yards good luck


I could remedy that …thanks for the reply

Yep, Galloway needs a front sight that is .07" to .073" taller if he is talking about 1860s with 8 inch barrels and the rear sight on the hammer.  Harder to do with a blade than the round front sight on the Navy models and the Remingtons.

Typical Army thinking, have a revolver made that has the sights set for 75 or 100yds instead of the distances they would be used at.

:) Willy  ;)

Attz gonna depend (no not the ones inna plastic package).  I have own'd and set-up a lot of Open Tops.  Two inch groups are not unreasonable.  However, the first thing you would have to do is take the "slop" out of the guns.  They have abysmal Barrel to Arbor fit and that has to be addressed so guns go together solidly.  This applies to ALL of Uberti's Open Top designed guns.  Whether they be Percussion or Cartridge, that Barrel to Arbor fit must be fix'd.  Then your dow to finding the right bullet/load combination the gun likes.  It is the Way.

I am  familiar with the arbor fit on the Uberti revolvers.
I addressed the problem on all my cap and ball Uberti revolvers.

Similar but not quite the same.  I two had a real nice Chinese Trench Gun for Wild Bunch.  Then SASS put Wild Bunch inna toilette so I sold it on.  At fair profit I might add.

 :) Anyway  ;)

Speaking of accuracy, THE most accurate handguns I have ever owned were made by Armi San Marco.  ASM's Conversions were abysmal for quality control but boy would they ever shoot.  From a rest, after arbor correction, my .38 Richards conversions from ASM would shoot a five shot cloverleaf group at 25 yards.  At times I wish I had never sold 'em on.  Oh well.

A friend and former cowboy shooter once remarked- "I never heard one of Bill Hickok's victims complain about his accuracy."
