What is a good screwdriver set to get that will work well with these narrow slotted screws on the Italian reproductions?
Thank you! That's just a smaller part of the accessories now, because since then I've bought tons of tools and a conversion cylinder - I'm moving towards the reloading.ClemBert
I like your well organized and efficiently equipped toolbox and loading set up! Well done!
I've spent insane amount of research on that subject last autumn and I've spent a lot of money on what are - I believe - absolutely the best screwdrivers in the world for Pietta 1851 Navy:What is a good screwdriver set to get that will work well with these narrow slotted screws on the Italian reproductions?
Awesome info....thanks!I've spent insane amount of research on that subject last autumn and I've spent a lot of money on what are - I believe - absolutely the best screwdrivers in the world for Pietta 1851 Navy:
- GRACE USA PEACEMAKER SCREWDRIVER SET (HG-3)
- PB SWISS TOOLS 6460
- BROWNELLS NO. 9 FIXED BLADE
I bought all 3, but you don't really need all 3 - you need either a GRACE set, or PB SWISS TOOLS set, or BROWNELLS, but if you go for Brownells you can't buy just 1 screwdriver like I did, you need 3 different sizes of Brownells.
All are fantastic; if you want only one brand, I'd say go for Brownells, but make sure to order the right sizes which you need for your revolver. Of these three, Brownells are the most sturdy and have the best grip, PB Swiss supposedly have the best steel in the world, and Grace are supposedly made specifically for Pietta's Colt reproductions (I believe that), but they seem somewhat fragile when compared to the indestructable Brownells. All highly recommended.
You're welcome!Awesome info....thanks!
Let me know if you find a good price.I need to get a set of those Brownells screwdrivers.

Cool. I have a .36 that I need to shoot. I've only ever shot .44s and my Ruger Old Army.Just personal preference, I like the .36 because I seem to be able to control my shots a lot easier than the .44.
I got lucky, when I bid on the Navy, this wasn’t what I was expecting. They used a stock photo which wasn’t what arrived, I’m not complaining at all.I need that squareback trigger guard. I can't find it Europe. I understood it long ago that's not easy to obtain, but sooner or later I must locate one somewhere.
You're probably one of those persons who wouldn't complain even if you win the lottery.I got lucky, when I bid on the Navy, this wasn’t what I was expecting. They used a stock photo which wasn’t what arrived, I’m not complaining at all.
Still involved? I haven't properly even started yetGood to see that you are still involved in shooting

Very nice! Can someone explain when the squareback trigger guard was used by Colt and when Colt switched to the round trigger guard on the 1851? I actually prefer squareback trigger guards on these old style revolvers. My Walkers are the only BP revolvers I have that have the squareback.
