I was named after Robert E. Lee, so you can imagine how I drooled over this Commemorative at my local gun shop. I was a young husband and father of 2 toddlers, so I did not have the money to buy it. I will be making paper cartridges during the cold dark Winter to keep me from sucumbing to insanity by cabin fever. Thanks for the 1st and 2nd videos on this lovely revolver.

Great informative video, the 1851Navy has always been my favourite, I had a Uberti 1851 for years and it always got a lot of interest from the semi auto guys but sadly the British gun laws made even owning a cap n Ball revolver difficult as you can only use them on a approved range. Please keep these black powder videos going, so much more fun than something with a double stack magazine.

Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for the very interesting video. That's pretty cool that the original gain-twist rifling was used in the barrel, even though it would be more difficult to manufacture it that way. Despite the fact that some Italian parts were used to build the revolver, the 1970's steel that was used to manufacture those 2nd gen models was of a much higher quality than what the 1st gen. models were manufactured with. I've found that it's good to keep some CCI #10 caps on hand because the Piettas manufactured in the past few years also seem to have slim nipples/cones.

People would be surprised at how many manufacturers contract with Ruger to make cast parts for firearms. They are the gold standard for firearms parts casting and they've been doing it longer than anyone. I'm not surprised Colt contracted with Uberti for some parts. Few manufacturers make everything. Ruger is setup to do nearly everything, yet they still contract for many magazines and wood pistol grips. Happy Thanksgiving!

I think I mentioned after your unboxing video that I have the Grant commemorative. I bought it 10 or 12 years ago and as far as cap and ball revolvers go it was my very first one. Mine too was unfired but it took me about 5 years of debating before I finally decided to shoot it and really enjoy it. Mine also had the very narrow nipples. Those are the only thing I've changed about the revolver. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I've enjoyed mine.

First off, I hope you and your family have had a blessed Thanksgiving. Your Lee Colt is beautiful. I have had the discussion a lot recently about how much I love seeing guns like this experienced. One cannot experience the gun by simply squirreling it away in a safe. It’s a fine weapon and deserves to be shot. I’m glad to see that it found its way into your hands. I’ve been having the discussion because I recently acquired an unfired Detective Special. My friends were all shocked that the first thing I did was take it home, clean the grease out of the chambers, and shoot it. Then to make it worse, I carry it to work in a pocket holster. I love it! It shoots great, I carry 148gr wadcutters because I don’t think hollow points will open anyway, and I get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I carried new guns in Mil/LE for my whole adult life, and I enjoy in this phase being able to carry a python backed by a dick special or a National match backed by a 380 pocket hammerless. I greatly enjoy your content. I wish you and yours the best.

Howdy, Mike. I have 3 C series now-2 navy and a 3rd Dragoon. Have you ever compared the C vs. the F? I bought the c because they were “more” Colt. But I wonder, beyond the fantastic story and subtle shades of blue, are they all that different? I remember picking up a Walker F out of the foam in the black box 2 decades ago and it had such presence. Anyhoo….

Hey Mike thanks for the videos, they are always very informative!!!! Due to your video on the 3 series of Colt 1860’s I picked up an F series Colt 1851 navy and I was wondering if you had to prep this revolver to the same extent as the Uberti and Pietta reproductions? Hope you and yours are having a great Thanksgiving Day!!!!!

I have an F-series 1860 Army, It didn't need any prep beyond cleaning up and lubing.

Happy Thanksgiving all. I understand that Iver Johnson was run by the Imperatos, the son who runs Henry Repeating Arms today. I have a leather Rebel cap that I got for a deal in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. It is brand new if you need it.

Dear Mr.Beliveau Happy Thanksgiving, Newbie here my question is when you used paper cartridges did you use mini balls? and can you use mini balls in the weapon? thank you & happy holidays.

When you say mini- ball, are you referring to conical bullets?

I suggest you measure it because the small oval gun had a four of its trigger guard much closer to the trigger than that 1 shows. That appears to be the large oval, which is not substantially larger than the small oval. But just cuz it's oval doesn't mean it's small. And I still prefer the Dragoon style trigger guard because my favorite gun happens to be the 44 Super Blackhawk, and that will destroy your knuckles when you're using the oval trigger guard. I know black powder guns do not realistic leave recoil, at least I've never fired any of them, that dead even the Walker way so much that it's recoil is almost negligible. But then again I'm used to shooting a 44 Mag.

Wambaugh White and Co will be your best best for historical accuracy for uniforms but I’m not positive about sizing. As always love the content and happy thanksgiving!
