Colt 1860 Shoulder Stock

[Don Kenna]

Has anyone had any experience with the reproduction Colt 1860 revolver shoulder stocks sold by Dixie Gun Works or Blockade Runner?  I have a Colt 2nd Generation 1860 revolver that is configured to take a detachable shoulder stock, and I'd like to fit one to it.  Believe me, I'm not expecting any improvement in accuracy or utility, and in fact never considered them all that practical.  I just want to try the device, and have it as an accessory for the revolver.

Shoulder stocks for 1860 pattern C&B pistols are currently availabe from Pietta and Uberti.
Due to the 2nd gen lineage from Gardone/Italy the Uberti ones should fit your Colt 1860 better than those from Pietta.
But expect that some fitting of the yoke will be needed.

Long John Wolf is exactly correct.  i have one from DGW on my  full flute Pietta 1860. I am still filling bit by bit to get it perfectly fitted. It does lock up tight but is still a little "fiddly" to connect

It is fun to shoot and looks super neat, but remember keep both hands on the revolver grip.

these are a few examples... Agree that Pietta and Uberti stocks are different. The center stock, a Pietta on an Uberti, it a one size fits all, so the threaded clamp extends quite a bit upward on a Navy. It is also shorter than the Uberti.

The top is an Uberti, made for the Army, the Uberti Navy stock has a shorter brass bottom and shorter screw,

The stock on the Remington uses an extended hammer screw to mount, and is slippery at the butt, as the Remington has no notch for it as the Colt does.

These are all available from DGW, including the replacement hammer screw for the Remington.

I have a early Uberti stock and it is great to shoot with, I can get better groups with the stock on the gun.
