The photos are too small to see any detail but it's cool that your new 1851 arrived. Congrats.

I use imgur.com for photos to post on forums. Upload them there and copy a link to them. Imgur makes it easy to copy a share link so you can paste into your posts. I reduce them to anywhere from 640x480 to 1280x960 pixels in size. My old iphone (no longer have that) pictures were something like 4000x3000 pixels. Way too big to post.

And now you are on the trail for a Pietta? 1851 or 1861 .36 cal?

AR, no, I will not beat you to the buy it now. I have 2 and that's enough for Josey so....just sayin'  L@J
Here is a .36 cal mold at Midway, $29.99: You may have another source but just thought I'd send this to you.

Perfect. Midway has my card on file. Easy ordering and good to do business with.
Much cheaper than the 454 I bought a few months back.👍

I agree AR. I like Midway. They are top notch to me and never had a bad experience with them.

I bought the navy today. I still haven’t gotten  a photo hosting site.
I will work on that soon so I can post pics.
I use Google photo's for everything.
Flickr and Photobucket lost my attention when they started charging.

Yes...but.
Google photos owns your images once you've posted them. Let that sink in.

ANything hosted anywhere on the internet is so far beyond the grasp of "personal property"... It annoys me (said ownership) but I know it's a thing that can happen hosted anywhere.
