Cabela's - Bought a Lemon, Out the Money and They Won't Do Anything
1858 New Army Black Powder Replica from Pietta - Complaint
Review by elletheduck on 2012-04-22
Rating: 
Gun doesn't fire and was told because the site says all sales are final there is nothing they can do. Lied about the return and shipping laws (I got it to my door, black powder pistols are not considered firearms)and I am out the $220, nor did they offer an FFL return.
Did not have the manufacturer's information to contact them.
Bad experience all around. Bad product that they won't do anything about, poor customer service and last time I will order from them.

The Cabela's in Lacey, WA has gunsmiths who could figure out the problem. Thre are also other smiths around the area who could do the job. This could be just about anything, from failure to drill through the nipple (if percussion) to improper boring of the chambers in the cylinder. A good gunsmith should have you back on the range fairly quickly.

It's not returnable because it's a black-powder pistol.
They cannot guarantee functionality in something like that because they can't guarantee you load it properly every time you use it.
You might want to take it to a gunsmith first to find out why it's not working. If it's made incorrectly or if it's operator error.
