Amen brother.
I "met" John online at the CAS forum. With the info there and some guidance from John my Uberti 1873 is now my favorite rifle. As a matter of fact it will never see smokeless powder again. A joy to shoot and easy to clean. So far I have shot up to 150 rounds of black powder ammo in a match without cleaning, or needing to. I will not re-explain as you can read about it in the links above and below. I will add that I bought a 44wcf hand gun as a companion. Talk about a fire breathing dragon ! Accurate, powerful and fun fun fun.
