Is there a schematic that can be posted so when we refer to parts of revolvers (or rifle locks) we all can use or at least have access to similar terminology?

What I call a cylinder arbor, you might call a cylinder pin, and someone else might call a "cylinder thingy".

It might help lessen confusion, especially as often we get threads about ...How do I fix...

Just a thought.

 

[scrat]

like this.

oh GARY

 

[mykeal]

Well, almost.

That diagram calls the 'cylinder thingy' a 'frame'. Or more accurately doesn't name it at all.

This is a great starting point, however. If I can get some time during one of the late night Stanley cup games I'll take a shot at photoshopping it to add some more info. If nothing else it'll give us something else to flame - I'm sure there will be plenty of dissension about some of the names I use, at least from one person.

 

[pohill]

#7 above is listed as a frame, and #6 as a cylinder. Correct?

 

[Niner]

cylinder pin

If you want to see one of them listed as such a Remington would be the one to show.

 

[StrawHat]

I wasn't intending a "one photo fits all" scenario.

If the situation calls for a Remington to be pictured, include it.

I was hoping for a sticky of a parts legend and sketch so all could see what was being talked about.

Getting folks to use it might be a different story.

Here is a thread started for what you are asking. If you mods would like to sticky, that is up to them.

A good site for diagrams of various models is www.vtigunparts.com. It covers several different models, from three or four original makers.

 

[sundance44s]

Colt calls that thingy a Base pin ..and he doesn`t mention wads or crisco ..LOL

 

[scrat]

he may call it a base pin but its part of the frame. Colts original design was based on 30 pieces not 31.

 

[pohill]

I always knew the arbor/cylinder pin to be part of the frame.
It'd be interesting to list all the different names for the same part; pawls, sears, lugs, studs, arbors, keys, etc.
I think the Paterson has 17 more parts than (for example) the Walker.

 

[scrat]

Ya but you cant count the chewing gum to keep it together POHILL.



Ok bad joke. Id love to have a paterson.

 

[theotherwaldo]

Y'all are over-generalizing. In a Paterson, for example, part no. 7 in that diagram would be made from at least nine parts.

Generic parts lists don't work well.

 

[pohill]

Yeah, but have you ever tried to put a Paterson back together? I have one and those 17 extra parts seem like 170. Gum isn't a bad idea, or an extra hand (human hand).
I got the "17 extra parts" info from a book but I can't remember which one.

 

[theotherwaldo]

Nope, never tried to fix a Paterson. Researched 'em, though, when I thought about taking apart a Peterson relic I'd dug up. One look at the plans disabused me of that idea. I donated it to the local historical society instead.

 

[4v50 Gary]

Good question. Post your schematics here and I'll add this to the sticky thread on essential knowledge.

 

[dwave]

Hey Gary, I started a thread for the gun diagrams. I already added 2, the 1851 navy and the 1858 Remington.

http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=360887

Maybe you could merge the threads?

 

[4v50 Gary]

Will do & thanks!

First one is a Colt Paterson & the second one is a Ruger Old Army made prior to 1977.

Paterson:
1 = Frame
2 = hammer
3 = barrel
4 = wedge
5= cylinder
7 = hand
8 = back strap
10= trigger
11 = grip
I'll have to get to the rest, gotta get back to work.
