It was a very used one, at a local gun shop and priced within $70 of a new one. My second choice would be a Lyman Great Plains rifle, in a 50 caliber, percussion....but I'd prefer the long rifle.Georgia. Nov 25, 2004. #3. Yes, I have put fiber optic sights on a GPR.

A little perspective here - a junker can go for a hundred bucks. Someone recently sold the frame for $75. I bought a ten year old Pietta 1860 44 that needed a lot of help but looked ok for $100. So getting a nicely done Uberti for $130 is a helluva deal. and.

There's a video on youtube of the guy from the hunting show "Kentucky Afield" that gets a deer with a bounty hunter pistol like the pedersoli one and he got a doe at 25 yards with one and 55 grains of powder.

I have a couple of hundred or more 45 caliber conical bullets designed for paper patching.

They usually sponsor 3 'rondyvoos' each year, tin tipis ok.Hi, I recently re-read James Forsyth "The sporting rifle and its projectiles" as I read it for z very first time some years before and I became interested why is it that muzzloading rifles (specially those shooting patched round balls) are most accurate with one specific powder amount. It is obvious why rifle's accuracy deteriorates when loaded with too much powder.I had a couple of Uberti 1858's a while back, but gave them to my son.

The front trigger can be fired set or unset. If you lower the hammer to the nipple you can try the set function.

Make sure the flint is sharp and properly positioned in the lock. Note: I am of the belief that time slows when firing a flintlock.

If you don't already have one, get one with the brass ring that keeps the screw centered in the barrel. Screw it in and pull it. It will come out easy if the barrel was clean when it was loaded. yndex images I tried blasting it out atleast 10 times it hasn’t moved.
