Y'all see the sale at Cabela's?

Thanks toolslinger - I bought one of Cabela's .36 Remington Police (Navy) models that is a Pieta and am really pleased with it. The fit and finish are great with the exception of the grips which I understand, can sometimes be a problem. No big deal though as that is easily fixed.

Model-P - thanks so much for the great information you provided on the things you did to your '60 Army. The pistol looks great! I have a feeling that I will be calling Cabela's Friday to order one. I haven't shot .44 in years since I got rid of the '60 Army I had from Dixie Gun Works (a foolish thing on my part to have sole it). Have been shooting .36 but maybe it is time to step up and play with the big boys. Thanks again for everyone's input - it is greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks for the thanks:)

I just got back from a family Thanksgiving trip, and while driving remembered that I forgot to mention one other thing.

The trigger does have quite a bit of creep. Usually, I would drill a hole under the full-cock hammer notch, press fit a pin and file it to take up the creep. Well, I tried that. Did I mention the steel is HARD?! Couldn't drill it, so one of these days I will silver solder a piece of .020" shim stock onto the hammer face to accomplish the same thing.

Please keep us informed about your new acquisition.
 
Uberti might be a better choice.

Cabelas offers some pretty good sales but for the price difference I think I'd stick with the Uberti. An 1851 Navy, 7 1/2" barrel, 36 cal. cap & ball is $275 from the Possible Shop site. I own a Uberti .45 New Army and am very pleased with it. An extra $80 dollars gets you a darned nice pistol.
 
I'm gonna get the 1851 Navy for $119.99, this is too good of a deal to pass by. I don't care if the brass frame isn't as strong, just won't load it so hot.
 
I ordered the gun and even got a free presentation case. They were out of the large cases which I wanted for my Uberti Walker, so I got the small case, still a good deal. :D
 
Sabot,

How did you get the free presentation case? I bought a Remington New Model Army a few weeks ago on sale, and on the sidebar of Cabelas' web page I saw that they were offering the free presentation case. I tried every way I could think of - clicking on it hoping for a link, searching for it as a keyword, etc. and never could figure out how to add it to my order. So, I figured that maybe I just ordered the pistol and they would add it to the order as a "value added service".

When the pistol came.....no case!

I'm not upset or anything - I'm quite satisfied with the pistol and with the price I paid - I'm just wondering how I missed out.
 
I got the 1860 Army on the way, (it's a surprise, cant open till Christmas) with the large presentation case and free shipping $189.

I have trouble with that sort of stuff too! So if I find a really good deal online, I always look for an 8oo number and call the order in, if I can.
