Auction Score

[Splitear]

I made it to the auction late this evening (wife’s Zumba night) and missed some killer deals. Oh well…

I did get a great score on a Pietta 1858 Target. It was listed as an 1860. The cylinder wouldn’t lock up, but I noticed the mainspring screw was missing. I figured that was an easy enough fix. Obviously others noticed the locking issues, asI bought it for a song with a spare cylinder. Got it home, took the grips off and inside the mainspring housing sat a little screw pushed into a piece of foam, the missing mainspring screw

Now I just need to decide if I’m going to keep this nice little BP shooter, or flip it.

I’m happy for you.

I'm going to guess you'll tell your wife that you'll have to shoot it a few times to make sure it functions well, and by that time you will hope she forgot all about it.

Do they have modern long guns and hand guns too?

Yes, 4th Thursday of each month. There’s a huge mix of stuff. Usually 50 guns, mostly cartridge long and handguns.
