It's a Colt Signature Series Model 1860 Army in .44 caliber. It's actually a reissue rather than a replica, since it's a Colt product. Beautiful day today. Sunny, in the mid 70s. Should be a blast. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/126210.jpg)

Very good! You are getting me inspired. It is 40 degrees and rainy here today but tomorrow it will be sunny. I need to go out and fire the cap and ball revolver.

Some were made by Colt, and some imported then Colt stamped. I think Uberti made the second or third generation reissue. I think the signature versions were made by Colt. Is that correct?

Colt may have imported some unfinished major parts from Uberti, then did all the fit and finish work on the whole gun at the Colt factory.

Just got back. Here's the first six shot, ten yard, group using a six o'clock hold. Lots of fun. I think I'll do it again soon. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/126221.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/126220.jpg)

Good accuracy! How many grains of FFFg?

Just finished cleaning it. First I ran hot water through the barrel and cylinder. Then I soaked it all in moose milk (a mixture of Ballistol and water) inside and out. Then let it sit for a while. Then scrubbed the chambers and barrel, and wiped everything inside and out, leaving a slick film of Ballistol all over, and inside. I greased the cylinder pin (arbor?), then reassembled it and wiped it all down.

I left that part out this time, because I was using those lubed wads over the powder instead.
