very nice drobs sure like your gun! yep just imagine what all these guns back in the days what they took care of?Here's my 2018 production 36 cal Pietta 1851 Navy. Had to snap one more pic before leaving to go back to Africa. I too note, that this one shoots closer to point of aim than my pair of Pietta 1860 Army 44's.

Basically, the same gun except for caliber, size of cylinder, slightly longer forcing cone, no cut water table and an 1861 Navy has a Navy grip unlike the Army with its big plow handle.
Uberti has the 1861 done right with a 7.5” barrel. The Pietta is an 8” like the original Army, which for a Navy is not historically correct. I'm big on history but history aside, specifically for shooting purposes an extra 1/2 inch of bore don't hurt nothin'. Mine's a tack driver.
I know that Pietta does not produce accurate 1861 .36 Navies, 1860 Colt .44 Armies, and Dragoons. That said, I cannot understand why Uberti cannot lessen the arbor recess in the barrel lug for a solid fit to the arbor. They don't even have to change the arbor at all. These days it is all CNC with both companies. The programmer just has to change the dimension. I don't think they really care. ........
I agree! I could use one myself.Good evening!
Midland man, a pic of that Ball Bag when it comes in, please. Sounds like a handy piece of field kit.
