So I let my beautiful but unused Pedersoli P1853 go in trade for a Pedersoli 1859 Sharps Carbine.
Finally I have one of those new-fangled breech loaders that all the cool kids have.
I don't know anything about them.
It came with a Pedersoli mold. It's about a 522 grain ring-tail.
I see that they make tubes of various kinds (paper, brass) to use with them - how do you fish them out of the chamber after firing?
I like the idea of combustible cartridges like the originals, using flat bottoms instead of shearing tails. Is this allowed in the N-SSA?
This Pedersoli has a breech bushing that floats very nicely.
There is like a shiny metal plate that does the shearing and sealing of the breech - it is backed up by a block and there is an o-ring in between the two. Is this the "o-ring mod" that Charlie Hahn does, or is that something else?
Is the Hahn mod considered mandatory for these things?
Which end do I point at the target? It's so confusing having holes at both ends of the barrel! (just kidding)
Thanks,
Steve
