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

Com'on Cap !!!!! Give it up !!! 🤣 ( thank you sir!!)

Fixing the arbor length is easy ( and a non-issue with Pietta) which takes away the "wedge in just right" aspect so that leaves you with "easy to swap cylinders" which really is the only plus. Both companies give you a built in loading press so no real reason to "swap cylinders" unless you're...

Blackpowderwarrior, thank you for the thought and believe me, I've had that thought since early on!! The bottom line though is, I simply don't have time to devote to that . . . yet!! Lol I would probably have to give up shooting which is a nice / necessary event for testing conversion...

I was watin!!!!! :rofl:

PIG STICKER !!!

That would be a false assumption . . . Mike

Here's what Bill Ruger woulda done if he'd been around . . . 😄

Definitely makes it easier!! I've never measured the thickness cause I don't think Uberti controls anything in that department to within an 1/8" tolerance 🤣!! Some can use an almost full width spacer and some make you remove some material off the arbor just so you can have a decent spacer ( if...

Yessir, as long as you take care of the short arbor and reduce endshake to at least. 003". Mine are .002" as I shoot lead some, mostly plated or jacketed. Have not tried a Pietta sourced '60. The 1:18" twist of the Uberti seems more appropriate than Pietta's 1:32". Also, check for loose arbor...

Uberti cyls are larger in dia. ( same as Ruger (not saying it's as strong as . .)) than Colt, Pietta and probably others. Brian Pearce has done extensive testing with these revolvers, constructing ammo for them. According to him, the Colt and Pietta ( and others) shouldn't be used with +p...

Yessir!! That's what I put in all mine and my customers (unless they send what they already have). The +p's I shoot for verification are Hornady Critical Duty. They say on the box 990 fps ( that's with a 5" bbl) . . . I'd expect them to be a little quicker out of the 8" bbls. Mike

I'll take my 45acp '60's!! 😄 Ya just pull the hammer back, pull the trigger and they go bang (usually in one ragged hole!!). Just took them to the range today for testing purposes, +p's still put a smile on your face!!! With the newly installed '72 OT front sights, the POA / POI is the same ...

Your Uberti revolvers are fine with +P loads, you don't have to only shoot "safe Uberti loads". Don't do it in Pietta's. Mike

Classic example of hand too long. There should be slight play at full cock ( thumb off the hammer).

or, you could just shorten the hand. The hand is too long. Cyl is locked up before you reach full cock. That's why it works fine with the cyl. out.

Funny. Didn't lecture on anything and didn't say anything regarding brass or steel. Just said I know what the problem is and I'm sure Jackrabbit1957 does too. Again, you're the one asking for help . . . Only took me a second to figure out what is wrong . . .

Yet you don't know what the problem is 😄!! I could tell ya ( so could Jackrabbit1957), but why ruin it !!! (you're the one asking, a little "dignity" would go a long way . . .) Mike

This would be a different post if woodnbow was talking about a Dragoon or Walker. I don't really understand this type of post but if folks would be happy shooting an open-top not built to design (as many are shot that way) that's fine, we all did . . . therefore, like me, I bought a lot...
