Delmar, Cabela's has the 1858 on sale for $189 with free shipping. That's a deal.


I actually knew that but money is a bit tight right now! Yes that is a great deal.

This is completely off topic, but I think this is the longest running thread in the Other Brands of Firearms section I have ever seen lol.

lol, well it covers a whole line of muzzle loading firearms that range from the 1300's to the late 1800's.

No athlete/youth can fight tenaciously who has never received any blows: he must see his blood flow and hear his teeth crack under the fist of his adversary, and when he is thrown to the ground he must fight with all his might and not loose courage... Anyone who can do that, can engage in battle confidently.

Here's my Navy Arms Model 60 (wasn't a copy of any certain gun). Got it in the late 60's. Think they were around $60 at that time. Think I used around 26 grains of 3F under a .451 ball topped with Crisco and #11 caps. haven't fired it in years (drifted more to the rifles). also picturd is the holster and belt I made for it. The pouch carried the balls and over powder wads.

Nice holster! Its a funny thing when I look at picture of that 1851 model, I want to buy the gun again even though I already own it  Cheesy

We both have the same Confederate version with the brass frame... only mine is just a month old. For those that don't know, the Confederacy used brass in their Colt Clones because of steel shortages.

That is a cool looking belt and holster. My Dad told me that he recalls seeing the 1858 Remingtons selling for $50 in 1970.

BTW,lakota169 I like your Navy Arms Model 60.
