Here's a pair of Kirst's in 45acp- Here's a Ruger Old Army with a Kirst cylinder and a Bisley style hammer and trigger- Mike

No, it's a "part" not a firearm. Mike

Good on you Blackpowderwarrior!!! I respect the heck out of you for that ! It really is the right thing to do. We don't want anyone getting hurt and we sure don't want Walt to have any reason to shut down !!

I get it but you're not the only one seeing this ! No telling what someone might do if you gave them a number . . . So, I'd rather the thread be removed. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to give reloading recipes out for obvious reasons and likewise, why would anyone throw out a max...

So how would you do that? In one with a loose arbor, with a loose wedge . . . wedge in with thumb pressure, all of the above . . . they have no idea what Billy Bob's gonna put the cylinder in. So, why would they EVER say what the proof is ??? It's an insane question ( no offense...

Information that can only lead to trouble.

Cap and Dicky, you guys are awfully nice!! Thanks so much for the kind words!!! Mike

It's the same. I shoot mostly FMJ's and JHP's in my Uberti 1860 with 45acp Kirst conversion cyl. No problem.

Didn't say anything about "Ruger onlys" (Don't know why anyone would) but they're definitely safe with +p ammo (higher pressure). Mike

The cylinders in the Pietta are the same dia. as Colt and I believe the top strap is the same width and thickness of the Colt. The Uberti has larger cyls (Ruger size), thicker top straps. They'll handle +p's. Mike

That's not "across the board". 3 clicks = Uberti. Don't shoot high pressure loads in Pietta copies.

Trigger guard much? 🤣 Mike

Here's a view of the "workin parts" . . . You can see the typical THICK bolt arms . . . and that's "across the board" for all the reproductions through the '70's, 80's and 90's. Couldn't detect the back side of the cam to verify it as a separate part but I'm sure it is. At...

Exactly!

😮 think they'll notice ?!!! 😆 Actually, I caught their "cya" the very first time I read it !!!! ( thanks for posting!!!) And I promise, the Navy in question hasn't got the slightest "faculty" anywhere in it that I could see ( an I've been through a lllllot of um !! 😇). Mike

You have "keen" eyes sir !!! But NO !!!! They aren't mine !!!! Somebody beat me to it 🤣!!! I was going to share this later but since you asked, I'll spill the beans . . . the arbor in this revolver was correct length, those marks are from the Factory ( that's who beat me to it !!). AND...

The way I get around that is to remove the switch/speed control and wire in a Singer Sewing machine control pedal. That gives you a truly full range of speed control. I'm sure you know but my diamond rotary files last a very long time since i can run them extremely slow. I hang the motor up...

The rifling in revolvers used to be 1:32". Some time around 2008 Uberti changed to 1:16" possibly because of the popularity of the conversion cylinders for Cowboy shooters. Pietta's open top revolvers are still 1:32" but their Rems. are 1:16" ( go figure !!?). That is the main reason for my...

A local customer got a great deal on a Model 1851 GU (Uberti) made in 1960. It's in about as unfired condition as it could be. Thought some folks would like to take a peek at "the beginnings". The serial number is "E63" . . . with E50 as "build" nos. The rifling is shallow but with a...

It's probably the "battery shelf" which is at about 1 o'clock looking at the recoil shield. It "closes down" the headspace as the round enters battery. It can be a little sharp and "grab" the rim rather than allow it to "slide" into battery. Just "break" the edge and you'll be fine. Mike
