1851 CONFEDERATE NAVY .44cal blackpowder

[AGhostlyCalm]

I'm seriously considering gettin' one of these now. I'm plannin' on a bear huntin' trip. Would you trust this as a sidearm?

[BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

@AGhostlyCalm not the brass frames, you cant put enough powder in it with out taking a chance on cracking the frame. you get a steel frame, and up close as a secondary firearm would work, to get you out of a jam. i probaly wouldnt go as a primary. but they use to hunt buffalo with them. thats same tough hide. i carry one as a back up when i go hog hunt'n. they are a load of fun to shoot. thanks for watchn!

@BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB Appreciate it. Boar huntin' sounds fun, too. My friend was talkin' about it. I know how vicious they can be, too. I'd probably carry one of these or one of those super comanche .410 pistols as a backup. Anything's better than some damn mace lol I'm also interested in those derringers. I'm not a huge gun nut. I've never been a pistol person. I shoot with high powered rifles mostly. Remington 30-06 Woodsmaster is my gun of choice..damn.now I wanna watch Ghost and the Darkness.

muzzleloader??? Dont you load the back of the cylinder?? not through the muzzle??

[BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

@Cloverthorn these are actually loaded through the front of the cylinders. they're considered muzzleloaders. thanks for watchn!

i take it all apart, being very careful not to ruin screw heads,threads. put it in a rubbermaid bucket with hot water and dawn or simple green with a added solvent i add from track of the wolf co. scrub all parts and dry them, oil them and reassemble it all. the biggest trick i learned is to take your time and dont force anything that may be stuck or frozzen. these guns are made of soft metal and can be easily damaged. baby them and appreciate the tech of those days used.

[BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

i never thought about dipping these before to clean them. i bet its a lot easier on it too. thanks for watchn and for passing that along!

Hi, i have a question... I just reseaved a 1851 navy colt .44 cal with a brass frame for christmas and i am a avide deer hunter and maryland law states that u have to use 40 grains of powder to hunt with a black powder handgun and i was woundering if 35 grains would hurt the gun?

[BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

your taking a chance with the brass cracking. i wouldn't do it. i dont go over 25. you can get the steel frame 1851's and use more powder. thanks for watching!

[ScorchNBurn338]

@BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB Since the .44 caliber Cap & Ball barrel has the same bore dimensions as a present day .45 centerfire caliber can you use .45 caliber 225gr. Powerbelt bullets that cabela sells with this weapon? the aerotip copper plated bullets? the ones for muzzleloaders. or a .45 sabot?

[BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

@ScorchNBurn338 i'm not 100% sure if these could take those or not. i have looked around in the past for conical bullets and couldnt find any that work. but i have heard of people using them, i didnt see it so it's just hear say. but i will take a look into seeing if they can be used with these or if it has to be a steel frame. i'd rather use a conical round.thanks for watchn and sorry i couldnt be much help at the moment, if i find out something for sure, i'll let you know

still have not found the best way to clean mine...  had it for about a year and a half now and I clean the thing about once every three weeks and the barrel is pitted =/ I can still give my dad a hard time when i shoot this against his 1873 SAA Colt. Any good tips for better cleaning??? Thanks, Ham

[BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

they do get dirty fast. i'll give it a regular cleaning after each range day, lube it good. then break it down completely about once month. taking the cylinder apart and spraying the spings in the action down. these do shoot great!! thanks Ham for watchn!

[quinnjim]

[BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

oh yeah!!! you got that right Jason!! i wish i had a few originals. must be cool!! thx for watchn!

james

[TXBucksnort]

That's cool! I've never shot black powder.

[BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

they are cool to shoot Danny! theyre not as bad as most people would think when it comes to loading them. 1st couple times your kinda cautious with it, then you get to the point you can eyeball the powder and faster to load when your plinking. they are really accurate too. thx for watchn!

[2xtrmshot]

its like playing with fireworks, a lot of smoke and sparks flying then you got to clean cuz you know how fast powder burn it buids up. fun to shoot though

[BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

you got that right, even after reloading 5 or 6 times, im plugging the barrel and greasing it to keep it going. lol!! your right, they are fun but messy. thx for watchn!

james

[KryptKeeper40]

Great looking pistol! Not a bad price either. I don't know anything about black powder guns but I bet they are fun to shoot!

[BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

id say to pick one up when you can. at 1st they seem a lil more complicated than most but after a couple times reloading it, goes pretty smooth. they are really fun to shoot too!! thx for watchn!
