Hello Jackie, I'm in France, I'm buying my first black powder revolver, I choose a Pietta 1851 Navy Confederate (a sort of copy of the Griswold & Gunninson) on .36. It has a brass frame (like the original) and I plan to shoot under 20g loads, just for sport, walks in the forest and home defense. I choose it to pay hommage to all my frends I had in the South (Im from LA California) I spent many years in GA, my best friend is from Alabama and I can tell y'all I had my best time in the South... Thanks for helping us newbies... you're a born teacher. Cheers !

Thanks for the advice Blackie, especially that this is a very simple modification that can be done by everyone. I’ll give it a try today in the evening. I love my Colt Army (I have a Remington as well nevertheless I simply like the Colt much more) but I’m getting frustrated when having 1-2 cap jams per cylinder while shooting, although the hammer is already smoothened up. I don't like the idea of installing an additional pin in the frame (although I’ve been considering it) to prevent jams reliably, since it looks somehow awkward. Unfortunately the Slix Shot (or equal) nipples are not available in Europe and the US Companies do not ship them outside of the united States and Canada (don’t ask me why).

Thanks AGAIN, again. just got my 1st Colts? always shot Rimingtons, but now this has MORE weight! as a New Colt Owner I found "I Noted" a problem with assembling and "DISS" assembly of my New Uberti's with a perfect fit of the cylinder axle and frame to barrel alignment pins. "I Noted" with oil this fit became un separable of the two half's. sooo? I Vented each with a path for compressive or vacuum for ease of take down. I did so conserativly and with engineering in keeping with the design intentions of each as to Not Weaken the design. I have also given this "Cone" issue thought. I think I will 100% vent my cones while checking timing to home as once removed for cleaning, I want to go back to desired timing of Cones vent as I want my caps vented up away from hammers nesting and into cap channel. I did forget about my hammer and addressing the vent channel. Thanks AGAIN! AGAIN! Keep Your Smoke Poles SMOKING

Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing this great idea. I went ahead and bought slixshot nipples a while back because no one carries #10 caps in my area & I didn't want to pay a haz-mat shipment fee either. The # 11's (available everywhere here) fit and seat well without giving them a pinch. They work great and I almost never ever have jams. They bust and roll right out like they're supposed to. So now I have a reliable revolver + availability of caps that fit. They are worth the money to me. Just saying.

@robertseafield581011 ай бұрын
Good video. With the Colt, if you turn the revolver 90 degrees to the right after firing and before cocking, the cap will mostly fall off. If not. you can easily pick it off. As a kid, yes I am that old, I remember the "Lone Ranger" TV show when it first came out. In the beginning, The Ranger is galloping along firing his 1873 Colt. I noticed he was throwing the gun up as he fired. At one point the revolver is pointed directly backward. After firing the Colt C&B I could see how this might work. In a cavalry charge you cant have a stuck cap. My guess is that whoever choregraphed the opening had perhaps seen a real Civil War charge. I dont recommend using this technique at the range! I did try it once when I was alone in a safe place. I loaded one chamber and fired it. The cap just flew right off with this technique. Check out "The Lone Ranger" to see for yourself.

Hello Blackie, I am cleaning up a 60 Army .44 cal. for friend of mine, it was acquired by his father in 1933 in Atlanta Ga. They, him and his father, are not gun people and never cleaned or bothered with it, hence it never was cleaned from what looks like the Civil War! The gun was rusted fast in all ways but is slowly coming around, being aware as to not ruin the original finish, as best I can. I am replacing all the broken springs and want to thank you for all your videos, a great help! The biggest problem is the nipples, they are rusted so badly to the cylinder, I have heated them, soaked in WD40 for at least 4 days but...? Do you have any ideas as to what more I can try ? Thanks again for what you do! Rich

I took a dremel tool and cut a notch about big enough to run a truck through. No cap fragments. Well it wasn't THAT big but it was pretty big.

@Backin_Theday Жыл бұрын
These are good tips and a good explanation of how the system was intended to work. I do have a "chicken or the egg," which happened first. I have noticed that when the cap randomly fragments, as the cylinder rotates, more often than not, the following "safety pin" acts as a raker and directs the largest fragment toward the ejection channel. Do you think the "safety pins" were safety pins first or rakers first, to work in harmony with the gas relief/cap splitting system built into the hammer face?

Scoring a nipple makes it a major PITA to keep track of them all when removing them every time you clean your gun, since they won't line up properly if not replaced at the exact same chamber. It's much easier to simply replace with a quality nipple such as a Treso Ampco nipple that uses #11 caps.

Question for you…maybe this has been asked. When doing this, do you then have to number the cones so they are reinstalled to the corresponding chamber every time? Or are the threads typically indexed the same on every chamber? I ask because you mention how the weak link should be on the bottom.
@DK-gy7ll3 жыл бұрын
The threads are not indexed, which means when you remove the nipples you'll need to figure out a way to keep each nipple paired with its chamber. I usually start with the nipple closest to the border on the cylinder battle scene and call it #1 and go clockwise. I then remove the nipples and keep them separated in the same circular fashion.

It seems to me that this procedure would preclude marking each nipple and chamber in order to put the same nipple back in the same chamber it came from. My reason is this. When you tap (thread) something the tool never starts the cut in the exact same place twice. Therefore if you place the nipple in a different cylinder from whence it came the channel you filed will no longer line up as instructed.

These pistols are made on 1960 machines. Parts are cranked out and thrown in a bin. Once assembled they check to make sure the parts move the way they are meant to with only slight fit and finishing then out the door they go. Uberti may have up'ed their game being owned by Beretta and that will lead to Pietta upping their product as well. Competition is a good thing. I've noticed the finish on the newer ones (on both brands) are much nicer than the ones of 30 years ago.
