swapping barrel question

[ronster]

I have a 1851 replica pietta steel 44 cal from emf company. I saw on vti they have a 1860 snub nose 3" barrel for sale. i thought about getting one but i wanted to know if it would fit my 1851 frame. the barrel should look like the one in this video. also second question about video i see him putting in the powder first of course what is he pouring in second before he seats the ball.

Looks awfully like fine grain Semolina, thats what we use here in the UK for `packing out`

In a word, Yes.  A Pietta .44 cal 1860 Barrel will fit on a Pietta .44 Cal 1851 Navy frame.
