    Timely video. Last week I picked up my Cimmarron Frontier 7 1/2” in .357. Mine is by way of Pietta. I’m also pleased as heck with it. Going back payday for a bunch of .357 ammo so as not to shoot up defensive type loads. I think it’ll be a nice companion for my Marlin 1894C

    My friend and I were shooting mostly Colt single actions a couple weeks back and he had a Cimarron Remington conversion just like that in .45. What a fine quality gun. I think the cylinder has a “lip” on the rear giving the visual impression of countersunk chambers. The high front sight was perfect. I want one nickel plated.

    The '58 is the most fun I have ever had with an old west SA. It needs a little modification on the loading rod to eliminate it getting stuck as you eject the spent brass, and it would be nice to have a spring loaded ejector rod, but once you get used to it you can clear and reload every bit as fast as the '75. A little bit of cylinder polishing almost makes the rod obsolete so the brass just falls out as you rotate it. If someone wants to get their Dark Tower on, it's as close as you're going to get without a custom frame gun. And that brass trigger guard just gives this gun so much class and appeal.

    Outstanding Howard , I was a Reenactor and I had a few black powder pistols both were reproduction Uberti Arms one was a .44 Navy & the LeMat .44 caliber 7 shot revolver 20 guage smooth bore . The Real Lamats came in .42 caliber 9 shot & 20 guage smooth bore single shot and .36 caliber 9 shot 20 guage smooth bore single shot. none of these were tack drivers but my .451 caliber Whitworth Rifle was out to 700 yards I could hit steel with it.

    I like these revolvers too. Mine are cap and ball. 1851 Navy .36 by Euroarms (armi San Paolo) made in 1970 and a Pietta Remington New model army made in 1994. Both are excellent shooters and loads of fun. As a fun little side note, my Pop got the cap and ball bug and ordered two in 1970. Both Euroarms. A Remington NMA and the ‘51 Navy. I was eleven years old. He gave me the Navy. BIG GRINS on my young face back then! I’m 62 and counting now and that ol cap and baller still gives me great joy. I cut my revolver shooting teeth on it and it’s still shooting strong and accurate after all these years.

    If you drop the charging handle on the conversion revolver then rotate the wing of the unloading rod out of its storage slot while returning the charging rod to its stowed position I believe you can use the unloading rod without the charging handle getting in your way. When done unloading reversed the procedure to get the unloading rod back in its stowed position. At least it appears to be possible to do it that way from what I could see in your video.

    I use the 1875 for CAS and had similar issues when it was new. In my case I found out that the cylinder pin was thicker in diameter in the first fith of its length. which caused problems in moving forward and backward the pin. I had it repolished and recoated by my gunsmith, since then it was easy to operate. The second issue I experienced with my revolver was that the backside of the frame or cylinder housing was also very rough which caused the cylinder to jam because the cases get stuck on the rough points, specially after firing. Also repolishing with a very fine sand paper get the prob solved. Since then the gun works flawless. Greetings from Austria ;)

    I have a Taylors and company Uberti cartridge conversion with a 5 1/2" barrel. The way I eject the cartridges is to hold the gun on it's side. Still a little bit awkward, but the loading lever stays in place and does not fall down. That said I have not tried that when it's 20 degrees outside.

    I'm late to the party here. On another channel (which I don't recall ) the operator reclosed the old loading lever for cartridge extraction. When the empties were all ejected he reopened the old rammer to properly stow the ejector. That practice got some of the moving parts out of the way for dumping spent shells.

    I have a 1875 in .45 colt. It is an enjoyable revolver to shoot. From time to time I carry it when hiking and hunting. I have no doubts it would perform for self defense or harvest a coyote or a small deer.
    I ordered a 51 Navy conversion a couple of days ago. It's in .38 special/ .38 colt. I have had good luck with the first revolver, so I expect similar performance with the new one.

    Thank you, HR; I’ve been a constant shooter for 60+ years, but I have VERY little experience with Eighteenth Century firearms (and their modern clones), so I learned a LOT from this video. Stay warm.
    And as a “P.S.,” many contemporary shooters ignore or disparage the .45 Colt cartridge. Coincidentally, this Thursday I fired 100 rounds from my four-inch barrel Smith 625 N Frame Mountain Gun, chambered in .45 Colt. It IS a “tack driver” and I always reflect on the fact that a 250 grain Gold Dot, with an approximate muzzle velocity of 750 FPS remains a very viable defensive round, for both bipeds and quadrupeds.

    Well, your weather was a lot nicer than what we have down here now in Louisiana. Wet, cold and nasty. My recent video of Beretta M9 vs Snow from two weeks ago looks a more like your video today with snow and ice. Rare treat for us.
    Load these guns with black powder cartridges and they will be even more fun.
    I actually had the opportunity to shoot an 1875 Remington Cimarron about 8 years ago and it was nice, but the hammer was extremely tight like a ball and cap revolver which is in contrast to the Single Action Army Colt Cimarron replicas.

The story is like a kung fu tournament movie and has little in common with real westerns. I looked up that article again and the revolver used by Russell Crowe was an 1851 Colt Navy conversion. The article says that the conversions were popular back then since they were a lot cheaper than the new cartridge models like the Peacemaker, New Army or Schofield.

    I have carried various Colt SAA in the woods from Colorado to Mississippi to here (Fla) and in Texas. In Colorado I had a 5.5 inch Colt SAA .45 Colt. Elk and mule deer hunting. The property owner warned where we were tent camping there had been some big black bear roaming around. We constructed a nice head with tarp but at 0300 in the morning going to the head I'm telling you my Colt SAA 5.5 .45 Colt with 255 grain factory in hand was a comfort. In the Rockies when the sun sets it's dark dark. There was a bank guard here who carried a Gen 2 Colt SAA .45 Colt all during his years there. I remember seeing him with the gun as a teenager. Met a man who kept a 4.75 inch Colt SAA .45 as his home defense revolver. The first five rounds would be telling for a fact against any intruders. I have killed a wild boar with a 7.5 inch Cavalry replica in .45 Colt. They point well and feel good in the hand. Neat review Chief.

    Funk-O-Matic! How ya doing, Sir! I had an 1875 in 44-40 when I was doing CAS. 3F black powder loads packed a pretty good punch. I never used filler....full-up black powder loads. I have 2-3 conversions, too. Lots of fun....and may be all that we can have, with all this stuff going on.

    Thank you Howard, great video!
    Have you seen my video with my Remington replica? I love it, and it is my favorite gun.
    One big change i made is that i made my own center pin for the drum, the old on started to fall out once in a while. I made it short, even shorter than in a Colt revolver and i made it like a screw at the front end so i can reach from front to screw on to remove the drum.
    I only shoot cowboy action loads.

    Dear HR
    When ejecting spent cases have you tried lowering the loading lever just enough to rotate ejection rod tab out and then securing the loading lever back against the barrel. After ejecting empties , lower loading lever again enough to to allow rotating ejector tab back into storage position and then securing the loading lever again.

    While I realize it borders on an "apples and oranges" kind of thing, give Clint Eastwood's "Pale Rider" a look and you will see him utilize an earlier cartridge conversion of the Remington New Army. While I was made aware, several years ago, that the revolver used in the movie was a custom job, there are at least two companies that manufacture "replacement cylinders" for Remington cap and ball revolvers that give a shooter, with some practice of course, faster reloads than when individual spent cases/fresh rounds are ejected/loaded through a gate. With the purchase of two or more spare cylinders, carried in what could be called speed loader pouches for lack of a better term, a Remington shooter would be "well heeled" indeed with as many spare, loaded cylinders as he or she could afford and carry comfortably on their gun belt or in the flap pockets of a barn coat.

      I general, I’ve found the 1858 repros to be quite accurate. The BP conversion revolver in the video seemed to be slightly more accurate than the 1875. That being the case, I would expect the standard 1858 with a .45 Colt cylinder to demonstrate similar good accuracy.

    • @hrfunk
      @hrfunk  3 года назад +1

      I had to do a quick search to see just what kind of rifle that was. It looks like a pretty good muzzleloader. It's representative of the type of black powder arms CVA produced back in the day. Which is to say a no-frills, totally functional, hunting/shooting implement. My first firearm was a CVA Kentucky pistol I assembled from a kit. Your rifle appears to have a few features in common with that pistol. It should take a Number 11 percussion cap, and it should work just fine with FF black powder or Pyrodex. You can either use a patched round ball, or conical bullets of the appropriate diameter. With the former, be sure to take into account the thickness of the patch. A ball with a nominal diameter of .490" with a .010-015" patch should be a good place to start and be sure to lube the patch with something like T/C Borebutter. For charge weight, start out around 60 grains. There are a lot of videos covering how to clean your rifle. Be certain to clean it soon after firing. Bores can begin rusting within a few hours of firing. The link below will take you to a video review of my T/C Hawken. About half way through the video I cover loading and shooting which should be identical to your rifle. Good luck! ruclips.net/video/2Y7gWYXdJss/видео.html
