[QUOTE="mark, post: 494008, member: 376"] I've had quite a few BP replica revolvers in .36 and .44, most from Italy and they all needed tuning up. Fortunately the gunsmith down the road would ream the forcing cone, time the cylinder and work the trigger over for a package of carbide turning inserts (available where I worked,,,wink-wink). They all had powder build up problems but I found the Remington design to be worse than the Colt copies. The best one I owned was a Ruger Old Army which shot great out of the box. Accuracy was on par with a cartridge pistol for 12 shots,,then It needed cleaning. Never used Pyrodex, that may have eased the problem. [/QUOTE]
