Colt Navy 1851 working mechanism

Animated firing mechanism 1851 Navy with some fansy engraving.
Model made by me in Siemens NX
Animation made by Rob Brassington (check out his channel / @vbbsmyt )

And to think that they were able to cut those stuffs on the cylinder precisely is crazy

[@russellbrill3721]

That was actually pretty cool to see the internals working

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

Thank you!

[@gloot7259]

So incredibly simple yet so effective. When you take care of the mechanism all the time that is. Even a slight wear can throw it waay off. Despite this mechanism being so simple and despite shooting hundreds of rounds reliably I still have a reflex to check the mechanism like every week, lol. Mine is 46 years old and I believe that with proper maintenance it will still shoot for another 100 years. PS your animation is very very nice but you seem to have animated a one in a thousand smooth bore version :D

[@nicolasgardella8053]

Thank you so much, I finally fixed my gun to fully coc the gun again, I couldn't have done it with out this video to figure out the mechanism. 😁👍🔫

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

You are welcome :-)

[@thegreatunknown2983]

Hey Im having the same problems, what did you do?

[@duelist1954]

That was excellent!

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

Well, thanks. I've made Colt just for fun and engineering skills improvement. To be honest - I need your advice. I want to work with firearms, especially with black powder Cap'n'Ball revolvers, but this is extremely difficult in Russia - we have no manufacturers of such stuff and weapon regulations are extremely tight. My current project is to revive 1851 Adams patent revolver, made 3d CAD model and full scale replica of it. Can you advise someone who can handle with manufacturing and, probably, will be interested in this as business idea? I've wrote to Uberty, Pietta and Great Gun, but without any feedback.

[@kecelam]

Excellent explanation of how parts are working together. Great work, Nikolaj

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

Thank you for a feedback. Much appreciated :-)

[@donbouquet403]

mechanical designers are amazing...

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

And some of them love their work passionately)

[@EBthere]

Thanks for posting this!

[@eancola6111]

I figured it out myself just by playing with it but this makes it a lot easier

[@MORiverFishing]

That was cool, thanks!

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

You are welcome) This is rather old stuff, but it was a delight to work on the project. This is rather unusual, that such specific subject could be interesting to other people.

Прочитал в комментах,что хочешь сделать себе реплику такого Кольта. Я тоже этим заинтересовался и если это реплика,то могу посоветовать сделать один из бумаги/картона/дерева (шаблоны есть на ютубе),а дальше залить металлом,получится и увесистая и реалистичная реплика. Если это "реплика",то в каморы лучше вставить трубки 2-3мм стенкой,но намного лучше это сделать если при литье они будут уже в каморах,таким образом металлы "сплавятся",со стволом так же. Для основной массы литья можно использовать алюминий. Но это если ещё не получилось осуществить проект)

I love this. Could you do the same animation for the 1858 Remington 44. new army revolver ?

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

Well... I'm not so experienced in animation, without Rob Brassington's help this video was impossible. I have started Remington 1858 project long time ago, but didn't finished it yet - now I'm more interested in making full set of technical drawings for all Colt 1851 Navy parts

[@J.J.BANJO.13]

Magnífico video. Es el revólver más bonito de todos los tiempos.

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

Gran revólver, estoy totalmente de acuerdo :-)

[@LAyersInd]

Gonna do a colt navy from cardboard, i need to know how inside works

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

Hello. Glad you share the hobby I had in the past. If you want, I could check do I still have an original 3D model of the gun, maybe it will facilitate your efforts to make a carboard replica.

[@LAyersInd]

@@user-sz8mh5ou8v i already made it, I am happy with my revolver, and I finally know what this little ear is.

[@duelist1954]

May I post a link to this on Facebook?

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

Of course, Mike! Check out the vbbsmyt channel (link in description) also - Rob is very talented guy and without him this video will be absolutely impossible!

спасибо

[@derpishthemememerchant5838]

Where Mississippi queen?

[@Curtislow2]

Do you mind if I share thIs video on my Blackpowder forum?

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

Feel free to do so 😀

[@Curtislow2]

Thank you @@user-sz8mh5ou8v

[@Vo_d_kontra_o_norMAL]

please i need this revolver schematichs - all the pices draws acurately to me build - i have not money - can yo help me ?

[@coburnlowman]

Good video👍 I couldn't figure out how the hammer and the finger that holds the cylinder in time pass each other without jamming up. I see the green lug on the hammer but can't figure out how it can set the finger and then pass by when firing. Can and would you please explain it to a simpleton? I've thought of buying one of these for a long while. Once again good video

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

Hi Phil! Thank you for watching! Green lug have champfer on the top of it. Then finger is starting to contact with lug's champfer it is sliding over the top of lug without jamming.

[@coburnlowman]

Николай Князев Thanks for the reply. Its very clear now. I wish I had the computer knowledge to make such detailed moving parts.

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

It is alot easier than you are thinking, really. If you want to study 3D designing I recommend you to start from Solidworks - it's simple, it's intuitive and have all necessary instruments to make solid models (but it isn't well suited for surface modelling, unfortunately).

[@niblaj5666]

Hi how are you? I like your video, and I'm crazy for colt navy. Do you have a blueprint or template of the mechanism because I want to make a replica of the colt.

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

Hi, Albin. I've built this model all by myself - I had no blueprints or such stuff - only my imagination and pictures from Colt patents. Theoretically, this mechanism can work - but I don't know exactly)

[@niblaj5666]

Николай Князев Ok...thanks

[@user-sz8mh5ou8v]

For your own project - not commercial one - I can share my model with you. Send me on my e-mail: [e-mail] what you exactly want to build? Black powder firearm enthusiasts should be friends :-)

[@craigkaschan4822]

Николай Князев would you be interested in making a mechanism to sell to me ?
