new 1858 remington

Cannon Fodder · February 07, 2006, 05:03:26 PM

"Gentlemen, I think I am one of the new members. I just got an 1858 uberti remington in 44/45 in millinium finish from taylors. I also got an r & d conversion cylinder in fluted nickel. I think it looks good against the matte black finish. Everything seems to fit good. I put about 75 cowboy loads in 45lc and 45 schofield through it last week with good results. Maybe some white grips? any ideas? Best,CannonFodder.

Howdy Cannon Fodder. Maybe you can get someone to make you some nickel or sterling silver grips. Just a thought. That would look wild.

Hey Cannon Fodder,.......welcome aboard!

Sounds like you're startin things off real good,.....yea, white, or imitation Ivory grips would look good with that contrast that's already going on with cyl. & frame. Jigged bone sanded down like the Marshall did would look real good, too. How do you like the Schofield round? I like shootin those with 27gr FFg under a 200gr Big Lube bullet.

I believe Gripmaker grips produces the ivory polymer types for the 58 frame, also in the stag-lite polymer as well.

The gripmaker Stag is good-looking.

Sure is! How long has your 58 worn those grips?

SFT and others,

Thanks for the posts. The stag Gripmakers sure look good. I have acquired a Pietta 1858 to go along with my Uberti originally posted.

Maybe I will go this direction.
