Major 2

Pietta 1858 Remington
We shot about 50 + rounds through his gun after it arrived from Dusty Morningwood  , only hiccup was a minor jammed cap
(just 1 )
I'm quite sure, someone has tuned this revolver, both hammer pull and trigger are lighter than most NIB Pieta's I've shot .
Trigger pull feels about like my 2 1/2 lbs. Colts pull , and the Main spring light but not to light for C&B reliability. Nipples are not OEM
pehaps Treso , though they are sorta bright maybe TRM's  :-\
After 50 rounds it still wanted to revolve though it was beginning to show signs of BP foul binding.
I gave MT, Bore Butter to use over the balls so I'm sure that was the reason it was still working.
Only once did I remove the Cyl (to clear the jammed cap) at about the 12 round (third cyl. load) , I wiped the pin down then & lubed, but just that one time.

As to accuracy DANG (We used . 454 balls (I know . 451 is recommended) but I use .454 in my Second Gens. and find them a better seat.
Also, the Flask threw 20 Grains of Elephant 3fff... so I started there... cut black on the 5" ring the first shot at 25 feet,
Adj. POA slightly left of center the next shot and hit X center.
From then on, in slightly fouled barrel, we hit well inside 3'' circles with an occasional flyer... those flyers still well with in
CAS steel ringing at CAS distances though . (20 grains and .454 balls with Remington's new hot # 10 caps is the load it likes)

By God, MT is beyond bitten... BP hooked, line and sinker ..He said he'd buy a 5 1/2 " Remy next ...but now he's not so sure a second 7 1/2 " may find his other holster...

Much thanks to Dusty Morningwood, he allowed a sweet shoorer to pass through his hands.
I could have invisioned issues C&B's can throw at you... but this gun did everthing it suppost to do, and did it's best
to convert a new shooter to the dark side  ;D
when planets align...do the deal !
