Reduce diameter of caps easily: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/centenial-centaure-parts.790789/#post-10064573

I tried a Wolff spring on my Pietta 1860. The first thing I noticed was the spring needed to be modified slightly by bending the trigger leg to make it longer. I heard this is because it was actually designed for the Colt SSA. Not sure if that is accurate. The trigger leg is weak and gave me...

If you want a guaranteed fix you would do well to consider a new hobby. Even with the use of brand new replacement parts there is no guarantee a repair will last for long. This is especially true of flat springs.

"Just remember that not all safety pins are the same." Yes, that is why my Safety Pin Mod specified steel safety pins as verified with a magnet.

Kid, have you tried the quick fix? It actually works very well as posted and has worked well for years.

In my experience it is the Bolt side of the spring that breaks leaving the Trigger side intact. This is my quick fix: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/cylinder-bolt-spring.623759/#post-7703675

Post a clear photo of the damage and I may be able to help.

Resize your caps. Cost you nothing. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/caps-coming-off-pietta-1858-remington-44.788565/#post-10038031

Very nice. Great bargain!

More Walkers are available it seems: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/781241166

Interesting. Thanks Cliff.

Cliff, how did you get that price?

In my experience with the SxS 20 gauge the shot pattern is too wide for hunting beyond about 10 yards. However, with 40 to 60 grains of black powder and a .61 cal round ball punching large holes in lumber is great fun!

This looks like a good deal. NIB Uberti Walker $269.00 plus $25 shipping. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/778774842 If item is sold check out Seller's Other Items. Seller has 18 in stock at this point. PS, I am not connected with this auction.

Be very careful of violating laws when cutting down existing SxS shotguns. The $700 pricetag of a new Howdah will seem very cheap compared to many thousands of dollars in legal fees if you go astray of the law.

Oversized caps can be easily and symmetrically re-sized: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/caps-coming-off-pietta-1858-remington-44.788565/#post-10038031

A Zippo/Uberti lighter! Who'da thunk it?

On my 1851 Colt clone with the small brass post for a front sight I simply extended the height with a bead of solder.
