STORM / Re: 1866 uberti stains on brass receiver
« Last post by Coffinmaker on Today at 10:05:46 AM »

Actually, Black Powder and Subs will greatly speed the "Patina" process, but, unfortunately it isn't a quick process.  Takes time.  Just have to convince yourself to ignore the stains until the stains are everywhere.  8)

Oh, also, you may consider coming over to The Dark Side  ::)

So, asking again, a pre-war 38/40, serial #113840 black powder frame. Is this one a US made pistol? Priced at $1800.

They aren't much to look at, but I love shooting my .50-70 NYS Roller. It's one of the few guns I own that it seems like if I point it in the general direction of the target, I'll hit it. I don't miss often with it..

The 1866 receiver is BRASS.  It will stain whether shooting Smokeless or Black Powder or Subs.  I am also surprised Brasso didn't do the job. 

There are those of us who champion Brass rifles who actually prefer to allow the brass rifles to stain (patina??) and like the look.  All of my Brass rifles are well patina'd and I prefer that look.  It is however your rifle and it's your choice.

DO NOT USE SANDPAPER unless you use 2000 or 3000 grit wet/dry.  Any larger grit will actually leave scratches you may not be able to remove.


I tried neverdull and it worked better then brasso but the stains still remain. I would love to acquire that patina look tbh. Is there a way to speed up the process? I don’t shoot black powder unfortunately as I read that can speed the process up.

This is very strange.  Three people had their first post on this topic.  I'm thinking at least the last two are AI bots and will report them as such, and let the moderators figure it out.

 If either cloakedoink or celemtine are real people, I invite them to come back on and prove me wrong.

USFA CSS / Re: Rodeo II deal?

I could be mistaken, but a pair of Rodeo II's in that caliber would be rare.  I've never seen them in that caliber before.

When my H&R did the same thing, it wasn't that the cam had turned on the shaft, but that the weld on the thumb piece had broken and the thumb piece had turned on the shaft which didn't allow the shaft to turn far enough to fully engage the cam.  You might check that ???
