Just a question. Do you have to do a complete teardown like this everyday you shoot black powder?
@JEDiTV2 жыл бұрын
No. I do a basic cleaning like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4HdfmiQitB5fqM I only do these complete tear downs once or twice a year, depending on where and how much it is fired. The 44/40 keeps the internal action relatively clean. Great question!

I just recently got into cowboy action shooting I bought a 66 yellow boy in 38 special used And it has an action job done to it I noticed a lot of wear on parts and pieces 3/4 the way through my second match we found out the hammer spring screw was stripped so somebody else let me borrow their rifle to finish out the match how often do you have to replace parts inside these guns to keep them running the way you do
@makingmajic1938 Жыл бұрын
@JED iTV Big fan of the show. I do not compete in cowboy action shooting, but I do shoot black powder revolvers 1860 .44. Have shot many 60 rounds through in its whole life. Just cleaned it just the normal field strip barrle, cylinder cones removed, frame, and cleaned everything with rags soked in moosemilk. I do not shoot it often, so when I am done, I give a good slathering of pure ballistal to prevent rust, giving several big squirts down into the action parts as well. Then, I did not touch it after cleaning it for several years. One of the internal parts broke, and I had to take it apart completely, and all of the internal frame and action parts did not have a speck of rust anywhere, just lots of black gunk from the caps and some powder fouling but you can't tell which it which . The rest of the revolver was rust free as well. I suspect that as long as you keep the internal parts properly and regularly lubricated, it keeps the black powder moist, preventing it from collecting moisture, causing rust. That's just my take on it, but if I ever decided to compete in cowboy action shooting and go the holy black powder way, I will use 44-40 for the rifle. I like shooting and cleaning black powder, but I do not want to spend forever doing it as well

Thanks for the video. If you loosen the lifter and lever cam springs first, the lever screw comes out a lot easier. I like to use a grease I make from Lanolin thinned to just the right consistency with flaxseed oil for lubing the internals. It stays right where I put it and does a great job of keeping black powder fowling soft and away from the steel. I also use it to pre-grease the bore, so that I don't have to put lube inside my cartridges.

Another great how-to video, Jed. About the only thing that bears mentioning is to take care when removing the 1866's side plates. The edges of these when new, are often razor sharp and can result in a nasty cut, if handled carelessly. A couple of gentle passes with fine sand paper blunts those edges nicely, though. Otherwise... as you demonstrate, these rifles are simple to service and maintain. A must to know how, especially when shooting bp.

I recently have experienced double feeds on my older nay arms1866 and all comments point to the loading gate to be the cause. Is this correnct?

Any suggestions?
@JEDiTV6 ай бұрын
Yeah, it sounds like that extra round is slipping past the tab on the loading gate (in fact the tab might even be broken). Open up the ‘66 and have a look at it. If it is broken, I’d order new and do the reinforcement with JB weld. Unless you can find a good aftermarket loading gate, like from Shotgun Boogie, that’ll fit an older model. Hope that helps.

Howdy Jed! Is it possible to add a loading gate with plate, rather than only having the mag tube reload option? I'm curious if there is a way to convert, but can't find any resources.

Is there much difference in the performance in the 1866 and the 1873?
@JEDiTV Жыл бұрын
In my opinion and based on my experience, I would say that the ‘73 can be shot faster because of it’s lever safety (some of the older reproduction ‘66 models have a lever safety, none of mine do). The lever safety makes it so that you can’t pull the trigger until the cartridge is fully in the chamber and the lever completely closed. With a ‘66 it is possible to have an out of battery fire… if you get going really fast (really fast!) and your basically slam-firing the rifle it is quite possible to pull the trigger and without having the lever all the way closed. Highly unlikely 🤷♂️ but, I’ve experienced it. Having said all of that… I do 75% of my Cowboy Action Shooting competitions with reproduction 1866 Yellowboys.
