1860 Avenging Angel blackpowder revolver Armi San Marco

[@SuperSneakySteve]

That loading lever is such a great idea. I don't know why I never thought of that.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Thanks! I wish I could say I thought of it first. Someone else I saw on KZbin a few years ago did it.

[@TheMultiGunMan]

That Armi San Marco is very unusual looking. I've never seen one like it before.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Pretty sure the “Griswold” in hell on wheels is actually one of these. I think CVA used to import them.

[@josephhaack5711]

Lanyard, yes!

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Lol

[@INeverMetAGunIDidntLike]

NICE!

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Thanks!

[@carminetocco9334]

I like the finish what was on it before the viniger and water treatment, great video

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Standard blued finish. The frame was polished bright brass. Hurt a little to age it TBH lol

[@kluper1157]

I pick up one 10 years ago at a pawn shop so I Mod the barrel the same and cut the grip and wrapped the strap of Brass around the Grip to Finish up a cool Birds head grip!

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Cool!

[@lazybeaver]

Ok ,now I get it. The avenging angel. Sounds like an interesting story.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Thanks!

@@jeffshootsstuff Back then, they would never see it coming.

[@blackpowderfirearmenthusia3194]

Very nice

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Thanks

[@KyleTheDalek]

Will you put a front sight on it? Looks amazing, could get a Bird heads grip too!

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Trying to decide whether to try to dovetail a front sight or drill/rod/solder

[@josephhaack5711]

@@jeffshootsstuff dovetail with a tall blade then file it down to hit point of aim.

[@josephhaack5711]

@@jeffshootsstuffdrill rod button would be easier with a round barrel IMHO

[@TomGellos]

Hey Jeff did you ever install front sight for distance practice​@@jeffshootsstuff

[@johnjohnon8767]

A birds head backstrap and grip would look good

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Yeah, maybe!

[@johnjohnon8767]

@@jeffshootsstuff it does feel funny, I'll give you that.similar to a 1842 govt single shot, but a little bit smaller, depending on hand size

[@josephhaack5711]

Did you do the barrel shortening yourself?

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Yes. Hacksaw then fixed/finished with a bench mounted disc sander, and a countersink bit.

[@josephhaack5711]

Why add the cream of wheat? Have you tried paper cartridges?

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Brass frame .44s tend to beat themselves up with full 30 grain loads. The cream of wheat is used on top of the powder as a spacer when using smaller powder charges.

[@josephhaack5711]

Can anyone tell me where to find d his video on making the modified loading lever? Have not seen any avenging angels with the loading lever slot so a 5 1/2 or 8 inch barrel needs to be cut down . Help! Lol

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Here you go. kzbin.infoKdIORQQ7xuU?si=gg0HC16mQYQUQZix On the 60 army or 61 navy or pocket police you basically shave off the top two studs on the rack and pinion lever. On dragoons and 51 navies you can just reinstall the lever using the pivot screw.

[@lorenray9479]

Good vid!

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@williamgregory6684]

Is that lead laying in the bottom of the range?

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Close to the steel yes there’s lead and copper in the backstop and on the ground
