Ubertis Remington Revolving Carbine with Paper Cartridges Part 2 

You can probably pick one up on eBay I know they sell stickums

It was called a "shoot-n-shell". I had one of these too at about the same time. I had a couple of Mattel guns that used them (Fanner 50, and I cant remember what else). Loved greenie stickum caps.

@@tloller52 That was when we were still allowed to just be kids. Good times.

Those were the days when kids were kids. I still have 2 HUBLEY Colt 45 toy metal revolvers that used those caps with brass casesand a zinc bullet that did not fire thru the barrel. The revolvers were made to resemble an 1872 open top with 8" barrel.

Today that “Assault Rifle” would be banned ...!

You mean Dustin...not me lol

@@MORiverFishing no hi good stufhow

That's good shooting!

I used to wonder about hand placement with one of these, now I know. Thanks, Mike.

Actually, the big Root Colts came with a forearm. People did shoot them with a standard hold - PROVIDED - they were wearing heavy gloves with gauntlets. Still not the safest way to shoot, but the gloves protected from powder gases.

BTW. I found I shot better and was much more comfortable and steadying instead of placing my off hand beneath my trigger hand, I just folded my arms. Right hand on the trigger, left hand gripping my right shoulder. Try it and let me know what you think. M

Just wondering why you only load 4 in the firearm - maybe you misstyped?

​@@deandeann1541prob one slot to rest and one slot in case it gets cocked and pulled

I used one while doing Cowboy Mounted shooting. used the Taylor conversion cylinders. works great, nice size as I had to still drive the mule while shooting.

I get good results with mine using a .45 Colt conversion cylinder, I also use Trail Boss powder instead of black powder. It's still fun to shoot even though you dont get that big cloud of smoke.

.45 Colt is about the funnest, easiest round to reload there is. You should seriously consider investing in a basic Lee reloading set up. .45 Colt has a huge amount of available load recipes in most of the available pistol powders. To save money, the diameter is the same as .45ACP so the cost of bullets can be kept low. The round is an old design, so home cast lead bullets, if you should choose to make them, work well (it is what was originally used). For the same reason,black powder works well due to the rounds large capacity.You can even make your own black powder for about $4 a pound. To start, for the first powder, I suggest Alliant Unique or Hodgton Universal (Universal is very nearly the same as Unique as far as burning rate and wide ranging usefulness go - Universal is a bit cleaner burning and easier to weigh though). For a first bullet I suggest 200 grain .45acp for plinking, target and small game, since it is widely available and inexpensive and works fine. For large game I suggest 300 grain Keith style bullets since they are extremely effevtive and well proven. Molds for both gullets are available from Lee if you are interested in casting. The 200 grain mold stretches your lead quite a lot.

@@deandeann1541 thanks for the info!

I installed a small curved plate to stop the cap splash.

AntiFa Roy...

I'll put that on the list

I’m sorry to say that there won't be a calendar this year. For two years I had a contract from Bic Graphics to photograph and write an antique firearms calendars that they sold to professionals and businesses. As part of my compensation I received 300 calendars for my use, in lieu of some of my monetary fee. That allowed me to get calendars for fans at a cost of about $5 each to me. Mail and packaging cost me another $2.75, so I could offer a calendar for $10 bucks and be three dollars to the good...minus the cost of making up for lost shipments, etc. In terms of my time, packaging, maintaining a database and running to the P.O., I was probably losing money, but it was no big deal. After the 2020 calendar, Bic decided not to renew the contract due to negative feedback over having a gun calendar in their line-up. Without Bic, if I made a calendar strictly on my own, each calendar would cost me about $25 to $35 dollars. I'd have to sell them for $40 each, and I doubt that many people would want one at that price. Typically, at $10 each, I only sold 200 to 250 calendars, out of the $300 I bought from Bic each year. So, I basically operated at a loss, even at $10 each. But, if I ordered 200 calendars at $25 each, and only sold 150 of them, I'd be $1,200 in the hole, right off the bat. And, at $40 per calendar, I think sales of even 150 calendars is wildly optimistic. So, it just doesn't make financial sense to go forward on my own.

They work just fine

I can second Mike's reply. My cylinder goes in a little harder than other guys guns though. Bought my carbine from Cabela about 10 years back. You can get the conversion cylinders directly from Howell old west company or Taylor+co or EMF of California.

@@harrisonlewis6853 There is a trick to inserting Remington cylinders. Forgive me if you already know this. You put it in from the right side of the gun. when you meet resistance, turn gently clockwise, while continuing to push the cylinder in. that moves the hand out of the way.

Not surprising, no one can find ammo for modern guns right now.

@@thitsugaya1224 I reload and haven't needed to buy ammo in a long time. Just last week I checked online - I was shocked - 9mm and .22 essentially gone everywhere at anything even close to reasonable price. This country has changed a lot since I was young.

Well yeah. Those extra inches of barrel arent just for looks!

@@khester7397 Sure... but how much?
