New Old Uberti 1860

Gotta admit I'd never thought about it before either.

Welllllll .  .  .   If you're building something to BEAR hunt with,  you might take into consideration the rifling in the revolver as well as the ammo you'll be using .  .  . 
Just sayin' .  .  .

Just take a '61 barrel and re-bore it.  That should be simple enough?       

That seems to be the easy solution, but finding one with the tools and skills to do so is becoming a lost art.....and exspensive........

[Abilene]

Yeah, that's why all the smilies.     Okay, this should be simpler.  Just use the '61 barrel as-is and load dead soft bullets, they'll swage down to .370 when you shoot them!   


I was going to wait til April 1, but that's too long.

[Cheyenne Logan]

That could work, you take the first shot?

[Abilene]

Sure, I'll take the first shot...with your gun...with a string from behind a tree. 

Let's see, how about this.  Take a .370 conical bullet, paper-patch the hell out of it till it will crimp in the .45 case.  The bullet will go into the barrel and the paper will become confetti...


...in theory...

I'd still use the tree.
