I would suggest you look through many of the posts on this forum, I hope you don't have dial up. Anyway, many of these posts are full of information. I have never beveled anything, but I have taken a stone to the inner workings of the pistols and recently used J&B bore compound on a brand new revolver. I got nice groupings on the first shots fired, no more putting 50 rounds through the gun to season the bore. I learned those items here. Look at several posts by Gatofeo, he has several on how to get started. I can't begin to list all of the posters here who have helped me, but his post sent me in the direction of the J&B bore compound. It is a good place to start. Enjoy the gun, I am very fond of the 1860 army. I have a Pietta to which I have added a simulated Ivory grip and one of the carbine stocks. That gun is a tack driver with the rifle stock and sure catches peoples eyes when you pull it out. I took it to the range once and had them lined up to try it. I think I shot three full boxes of balls that day an only got in about 75 shots myself. But there were two 12 year old boys that thought it was pretty cool, hopefully we will be seeing there posts here someday.
