Just starting with BP
« on: May 14, 2022, 03:24:29 AM »
Hello all.  Brand new to Black Powder.  Pickup up a reproduction Remington 44 (Pietta).  Have seen a few of the real deal Remington's advertised on some sites.  Would like the real deal - but need to educate myself. 

Thanks.. :cowboypistol:

Welcome NLM and greetings from Alaska.

You picked up a Pietta?? Only one? Round here you will need at least 2 to be like Jose Wales…..  :big_drink_2:

Lots of great info here… and some pretty good guys!

Welcome to the forum, NLM. This is a great place for friendly, helpful information. Looking forward to your posts.

And when you're ready to make your Remmies (yeah, you'll eventually get another one) more versatile, the drop-in cylinders go in slick as can be.

Yep.  had 4 revolvers (didn't know anything about them - and really still don't), now 3 revolvers.  Still starting with BP and a new purchase. )l_

Welcome aboard NLM!! You've found the best place for information and conversation. LOTS of knowledge on this board and it flows freely.

You may only have 3 now, but that will quickly become 6. Acquiring these guns and all the accoutrements is highly addictive!!
