I'm thinking about ordering an 1858 Remington re-pro'.
Any suggestions as to what mfg. might be preferable?
What to look out for or avoid? Things a BP newb should know before-hand?

Thanks in advance.

Traditions makes some good 'ready to shoot' packs

Can't go wrong with an Uberti.

Replace stock nipples with Treso brand, much more consistent OD size for caps & flashhole.

Get a separate cylinder loading stand (makes loading MUCH easier), and extra cylinders (a la Josey Wales).

Also, you can get a conversion cylinder to shoot cartridges in your gun. No FFL needed!

Go with a Uberti, you wont be disappointed.
