Hey /k/,
Just got pic related.
Also picked up some caps, wads, a cabelas pistol cleaning aluminum handle thing with rod, triple 7 and 454 balls.
Also picked up a starter kit from cabelas.
How do I go about preparing to shoot this beauty sat/sunday?
More importantly how do I clean it effectively?
Do I need to take this shit down every time I clean it? I am worried about fucking up the screws.
I have spray ballistol but not the normal kind people combine with water.
What process do you guys use?
How high should I fell my powder horn full of powder? How many grains should I use of 777 fffg?
Thanks in adance and black powder general thread.
If you're using black powder substitute you don't need to be anal about cleaning. Pyrodex and shit won't rape your shit compared to real BP.
Just clean it like any other gun.
More pretty revolvers.

What do you mean?
I thought Triple 7 and pyrodex were both best cleaned with water?
So you would just spray it down with ballistol?
How would I clean out the area with trigger parts or hammer assembly without full dissasembly?
Do I need to remove the nipples every time?

You don't have to be anal about it

What do you do?
Everything I read about black powder elsewhere seems to indicate if you aren't anal you get rust.

Anyone know where can I get a black powder musket pistol in commiefornia? Feeling the Arrrg in pirate firearms.

You got an 1858? That's the best design from the period. Who made it? Pedersoli makes an AMAZING 1858 that's competition quality. Experiment with conical bullets, they may be more accurate. If you really want it to be a great shooter make sure the cylinders line up with the barrel very accurately.

Nope, it'll be ok if you don't clean the nipples every time.

You can use sulfer free black powder. That'll stop the corrosion. You can hardly find genuine black powder anywhere though. It's easy enough to make yourself.

BP fouling isn't even that bad, all you need to do is wipe it down with some oil.

What process do you guys use?
It seems online people take down all the parts and throw it in hot soapy water. Plunge out he bore with a patch on a rod and brush and then clean ot each cylinder the same way after removing the nipples.
Then the video guys seems to clean nipples using brush.
Another post I read talked about putting the whole gun in water after just taing off cylinder and grip wood.
cleaning with water then blowdrying and oiling.
What do you do?

yй бля!

I don't have one, I'd just clean it in hot soapy water with pipe cleaners and bore snakes then dry with paper towels and oil it up. Using oiled wads and bore butter keeps it cleaner, too.

Bummer. The Pedersoli one is outright amazing and an Uberti would definitely be worth saving for... No idea how selective Cabelas is about what they buy or if they do any work to them when they get them. Regardless, it's still going to be stronger and last longer than the ones they made in the 1800s.
