I've put together a Q&A session for most of your questions (e.g. how to remove the barrel and cylinder, changing the grips) in the new video. If you want to know more about this revolver, watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWGZqKKfiN6Ippo

its possible to mod the valve or anything else in order to RAISE the FPS ?

[@notarussianspy508]

I have the newer umarex smoke wagon. Internal structure is very similar to yours. This video helped me a lot in finding the issue with mine. The issue turned out to be the hammer spring snapping. Thanks a bunch for making this video.

Where did you buy your replacement? I have the same issue with mine but everywhere I look is out of stock. Edit: the names are ironic aren’t they…

[@notarussianspy508]

@@arussianspy3114 I called umarex and I paid them to repair it. They replaced the spring themselves and shipped the gun back. It was about $60.00 usd to have it repaired and shipped.

One should be able to modify the spring or have one made longer and stronger if need be to support fanning.

hello again, i had to replace the hammer, becouse the stud which the holds the chamber arm had broken off the hammer, but the repair was sucessful ,thanks to you and you and your vidio, thanks again graham in England.

i have a nickel 7.5 would i be able to change over the barrel to a 5.5 or would i just be risking some serious shit?

[@Kirusei]

Having a lot of difficulty putting the last spring back in for reassembly, the one that's supposed to be leaning on the sear of the rotating chamber. It keeps springing out or moving the sear the moment I let go and have to be inhumanely fast and accurate to put in the side before either of that happens

[@C.Sharpe]

Yeah I learned this lesson the hard way, but thanks to this video I was able to fix it by putting a new spring in!

I inherited a 1959 crossman single action 6 in box with manual. It's in perfect shape except my grandfather took it apart to change the seals I guess. Could you replace the seals and put it together for me? I know they aren't worth much it was my grandfathers. Please tell me what you think. Thanks Neal Apollo Beach Florida

Excellence Sir question the grips is there replacement grips example : If one ordered real Colt grips do you think they would fit ?

[@SemperReloading]

Real Colt SAA grips will not fit since the size and angle are completely different.

[@obviouspseudonym9345]

Great video! Does the second grip come off in case one obtains spare umarex grips, or perhaps wishes to engrave or customize the grips that come with the gun? Thanks.

[@SemperReloading]

You can see 2 small Philip screws holding the other half of the grip once you pop the left-hand side one. Unscrew those and it’s removable.

[@LukeMcMullin]

Hi, I am interested in the color of your Colt, did it come that way or did you customize it? If you did that your self did you video the process? I would love to do that to mine, is it a type of case hardening? What ever it is it is SICK!

[@SemperReloading]

Thanks, this is the blued version of the revolver. The finish is already there out of the box, not self-made. However some of the blue colour will be lost after a while, especially when you’re frequently handling the gun with bare hands. And start showing the bronze underneath.

It’s supposed to. Since the sear is not catching the hammer at this position.

[@highnoon4528]

I have two questions: Are the insides of the peacemaker the same for both the Airsoft version, and the pellet version? Question 2: To your knowledge, why didn't they make this gun easier to remove the cylinder to clean the barrel?

[@SemperReloading]

High Noon45 1. Yes, should be the same. Because the disassembly is the same. Not sure whether they are 100% compatible though. 2. The design of this SAA follows the older version of the real steel SAA. So the cylinder is not detachable like the Tanaka SAA

[@Anakin-Skywalker.]

High Noon45 I'm a cowboy in Texas I own a real colt 45 SAA and this is accurate to the real thing

[@biggusdickus5986]

On the Remington 1875 by Crosman you can strip out the cylinder easily in seconds, using the way the actual real colt can be stripped, so why not the umarexes.

[@oliveoildwk2856]

Are the little sheriff badges on the grips metal or stickers? Can I easily remove them?

[@SemperReloading]

It’s a piece of metal. You can take off the grip and try to use a small screwdriver to get it out. But I don’t recommend this since this will leave a hole on the grip.

[@addisonschraeder64]

What are the most common leak issues and how can I fix them?

[@SemperReloading]

Addison Schraeder Most of the time it’s caused by over tightening the CO2 cartridge and damage the rubber seal of the chamber. If your gun is leaking CO2, better check the condition of rubber seal. Of course it’s the best to seek help from an airsoft technician.

[@bulow453]

My experience with all of these Co2 guns is that they work for about 3 or 4 cylinders before they malfunction, exit all the air and are broke - and they are hard as heck to replace the seal gaskets in them which run about $20 - so I just throw it on the pile with rest of them as they are just junk.

How do you remove the right hand side grip on these Medallion grips without the screw?

My english is not good enough to understand the verb « fanning » in that case, what do you mean that can be harmful to the gun?

[@SemperReloading]

Branleur Et Fanning means holding down the trigger and pull the hammer down repeatedly. Because of the revolver is single action. When the trigger is held down and you pull the hammer down repeatedly, the gun will keep shooting like a full auto gun.

[@SemperReloading]

It is harmful to the gun is because it puts a lot of stress to the hammer spring. Causing the spring will break.

@@SemperReloading thanks for the reply and like. Yes I know the gap on the Umarex is suppose to be there for the reason's that you said, but the real Colt SAA doesn't have the gap. Now some owners of the Umarex have modified it greatly reducing the gap and not had the problem of touching the pin value therefore not venting Co2 off, it just make the appearance look 100% better. Why I think you should have a go at doing the modification is because your KZbin videos are really well done on the camera work and your commentary too is very clear and precise. I'm very sure that if you did the video on reducing the gap to the quality as the original video then once word gets out about the video then your KZbin views will sky rocket and possible subscriptions also.
