Madhouse if there is an airsoft version of this gun the rails and covers will be available at one of the airsoft websites. When I got my 15/22 pistol I found the EXACT rail covers and accessories at an airsoft website. I compared them to my Colt covers when I received them, they HAD to be from the same manufacturer, only about 1/3 the price. Three covers + postage= $33.00 +7.80 shipping. Airsoft was $12.99 for 3 + 4.99 shipping. Just a thought......

Dougie you can google pietta .44 instruction manual and download instructions right off the net. Pyrodex fffg powder works well, #11 caps, and .454 balls. Get an adjustable powder measure, set it between 24-30 grains. Pour it in the cylinder chamber, start the ball in the mouth of the chamber and use the rammer to shove it all the way down. Don't leave ANY space between the powder and ball. A small ring of lead should be shaved off the ball when ramming it home. if you only get a partial ring move up to the next larger size ball. After charging each chamber BUT ONE, put a dab of Crisco shortening over the mouth of each loaded chamber to prevent chainfires. REMEMBER that these guns WILL fire and kill you or someone around you if dropped. Leave one chamber UNLOADED and ALWAYS carry these guns with the hammer down on that EMPTY chamber. NEVER cap the nipples unless you are in firing position. You can buy a capper that will make it very easy to deal with the percussion caps being installed on and off. ALWAYS clean the arm immediately after firing, these types of powders absorb moisture and will rust the gun quickly if not cleaned. This certainly is NOT a complete set of instructions and DON'T treat it as such, it's just to give you an idea of what's involved. Absolutely no "kick", and a LOT of fun.....Gary

Weeelll, Florida Gun Works e-mailed me yesterday and said the Paterson Colt was ''sold out''. 'Course it was listed in stock when I ordered it. A week later they let me know....I ordered a first model Colt Dragoon from the Possibles Shop, I actually spoke to a human, he had it in his hand. Shipped FedX today....We shall see.... :confused:

Naah, keep the barrel swabbed out and lead free, you'll probably never shoot out the Walther barrel... :grin: The higher the round count, the smoother these guns get.... :beer:

Ableammo.com lists them as out of stock- which means not released yet.... :grin:

Memorial Oaks shooting club lists them new thru Davidson's gun broker for $580.00....a used one might be tough to find... :grin:

Damn! Take it easy buddy, all things will pass! :beer:

sounds like fun!!! :beer:

I work at a german car dealership, their overriding philosophy is why use one bolt when you can use 6....

Smurff that's one thing I don't have is a flintlock of any style. Having to powder the pan, etc. never appealed to me. I sure it would be fun if you had a shooting buddy into it. I'd much rather blame the caps on a percussion than my ability to prime and shoot a flintlock.....LOL

NAUGHTY boy!!! :beer:

Here's some rounds for size comparison, I tossed the change in for scale.... :grin: from L to R - .22 Magnum, .223, .35 Remington, .38/55 Winchester, .45/70 Government, .45 Long Colt, .44 S&W Special, .45 ACP, .38 S&W Special, .38 Special hollowpoint, .9mm, .32 H&R Magnum.....

Dougie they are not difficult, a good adjustable powder measure, patches, and a tin of purcussion caps. Follow the procedures and cover each chamber with Crisco shortening to prevent a multiple discharge and you are good to go BOOM!!! The WORST thing is cleaning the blasted things after shooting..... >:D

Wow!

While out in Cody, Wyoming I entered every gun shop that was open. I had been thinking of buying an addition to several black powder replica pistols I own. As most of you who have been exposed to blackpowder arms know, they are not considered firearms in the modern definition and NO FFL licence or transfer is needed in their purchase. I found a Walker Colt .44 pistol by Uberti for $340.00 new. I said yeah I'll buy that, great gun- great price. The counter guy found the box, removed the price tag and boxed it up. Got it to the register and said "this is strange, it has a centerfire logbook number on it. This can't be right." He called the owner of the place who said "that's correct, if it's a blackpowder REVOLVER the transfer forms have to be filled out." I thought "wow, luckily it's blackpowder and not centerfire, so the out of state won't be an issue. It wasn't- However the state weinie we called the transfer into denied the transfer BECAUSE I DIDN'T CURRENTLY RESIDE IN THE STATE I WAS BORN IN. WTF? We called him on this ruling and he would'nt back down. I believe Wyoming has entrenched some anti-gunner Dem's in their firearm control infrastructure. Any Wyoming guys out there need to scope this out, your government is making an end run around your ability to purchase unregulated arms. By the way, I ordered a Paterson Colt pistol by Uberti online that night, no restrictions, from Florida Gun Works....delivering by US Mail.....

:laugh:

Must have been my lucky HAT!!!! :dance:

Got all my new yard equipment Friday, assembled everything Saturday morn, Tried it out Saturday and Monday morning. Saturday afternoon went to Lowes, found a new Whirlpool washer with the cabinet 1/2 off of it, marked down $200.00 off. Bought it, took it home, flipped it on the side all missing screws and clips fell out of the frame channels. Cost "0'' to fix. Saturday nite went online to register it, it was eligible for a $75.00 federal stimulous rebate. $488.00 less $203.00 less $75.00= $210.00..... I'll go for that! :thumb:

wow- that is strong. I got mine from Bud's gun shop in Kentucky. $422.00 shipped. I did wind up getting the $50.00 M&P pistol promotion rebate from S&W, I think I hit the window on the rebate before they changed the rebate to exclude the 15/22. I got mine the 1st week of release.

The poor families....
