Back to the beginning

ManyIrons, in the first post of this thread you referenced a "SUPERTUNED Colt navies". What is that? Is this something the smith does? If so, what does he do and does he sell them?

Personally, I like the '51 Colt Navies better than anything. There's just something about the way they feel, and point, in the hand. They have that "old time" look with the octagonal barrel and hinged loading lever, not to mention the wedge to hold the barrel on. Anyone care to guess how old that method is? And yet for 1851 they were the most modern, most advanced, firearm known. The American hit of the great London World's Fair of 1851! So I am curious as to what he does to supertune them, and what accuracy improvements he gains.
 
Hi!

Gonna be tough cause my fingers hurt, SUPERTUNED means ALL internals replaced with hyper tough stainless tool steel, ALL coil springs (Think Ruger) and all moving parts are superfinished to (I think) like <5microns.

The wedge just becomes cosmetic with a new system that allen adjusts (Ya cant see it)

Here is a photo of tha MANN on his LITTLE bulldozer, 300 METRES was too close for him ta shoot while i was movin machines! (He now gots 500 METRES)

He DONT talk YARDS! Ya cant see um, he got SIX guns on him just ta work! TWENTY hours every day!

He almost KILLED me, I HURT!!!!!!!!!!

Where can we get stainless steal internals from? And how does the wedge become simply "cosmetic"? Is the allen wrench ajustment used to remove the cylinder? If so, then what about the wedge? Is it cut in half for cosmetic purpses and no longer has any function for structural integrity?

The Sicilian.
 
Correct, Wedge is cosmetic only, better for adjustment, as to tha internals, they are fit to individual gun.

Wish i could think straight! When i can get myself back to myself, i'll get some pictures on .
 
Thanks ManyIrons,

What the hell have you been doing lately that has you so worn out? You sound like you've been rolling fat girls in flour looking for the wet spot!!! I'd really be interested in checking out some pictures of those "supertuned" revolver innards.
