1861 Navy - Full length video

[duelist1954]

I finished the full length video on the 1861 Navy revolver. It is a pretty long video, so I hope it can hold people's interest.

15 minutes isn't long for a gun review, ever heard of Nutnfancy? Lol!

Great video!

Awesome video - I love the '61. Just got my Pietta '61 back from the Goon (thanks, Goon!) - looks amazing and I am excited to put some lead through it.

Your videos always hold my interest.

I enjoyed your video. I was impressed by the paper cartridges and how easily they loaded and the fast ignition. The other conical bullets were very impressive!

I noticed there were some smoke streamers from what I would guess to be the lubed felt wads. I have never used the felt wads, so it is just a guess. I know it is green there, but any chance of fire from the felt wads would make a mess of things. Bone dry California perspective...

Good afternoon,
Thank you for putting up the video. I enjoyed the apparent power of the .36 caliber rounds, especially with the 2 Liters and Shaving Creme cans. The ease of use of the paper cartridges is properly alluring. As you noted, the revolver is definitely beautiful. I am a _huge_ fan of Saddle guns but would not turn my nose up at this potent six-gun.
Regards!

I noticed you didn't have any trouble with spent caps jamming up the works. Is the gun stock, or did you make any improvements to prevent issues?

Wow! That sure was fun to watch!! I've never had 15 minutes go by so fast.

There are two videos on what I did to smooth up the action.

Nice shooting.

Awesome!

Now I know where my money is going next

TL/DR.

OK, I watched. It was fun and I didn't know that prepared paper cartridges were available commercially. They must be cost prohibitive. Anyway, your closing scene of the bad guy's view was very reminiscent of the B/W classic, The Great Train Robbery. Link to the flick

Never noticed until now that that final scene involves a DA revolver.

Great video, I've got an ASM 1861 that my son got me for my birthday, I hadn't shot it much, but after seeing your video, I guess it's going to spend a lot more time at the range.

And, it appears that the 1861 was sporting SlixShot Nipples. They are great at preventing cap jams

Thanks for a great video. The 1861 is one of my favorite cap 'n ball revolvers.
