OK, I couldn't decide whether to put this in the Remington section or the Conversion section...but since it's a Remington, well...now you know.
I purchased this Pietta 1858 Remington Sheriff model new from Cabela's...when you could still do that sort of thing...about 10-12 years ago brand new, for around $200.00, and the Big Brown Truck dropped it on my door step. I shot it a few times; "barky little thing", was my first impression! Anyway, being as how it was a post-2002 CAM/CAD gun, I decided a Taylor's drop in might be fun. I wanted the Taylor's because it was a true six shot, no messing with the timing or shortening of the hand needed. My buddy Steve had one and I tried it out on my sheriff. Drop in was perfect so I ordered one.
Then I got to thinking rather than search for expensive Cowboy loads, I would load my own using the Holy Black, which turned out to be easy as falling off a log. So I took it up north last summer and was immediately astounded at how well it shot, and even though I wasn't shooting at paper, I hit everything I was pointing at. And the cloud of smoke and flame wasn't half-bad either! So good, in fact, that I decided to box up the C&B cylinder and leave this one a conversion.
So, here she is, in all her glory...
