Ditto for Uberti stock cones.Pietta nipples work best with Remington #10 caps.

Depends ,can it go to full cock , or does it bind against it? If the cylinder binds against the forcing cone, the wedge needs to be loosened just a tad.Not the piece of wire brush bristle stuck under the screw above the pin. Also I notice the cylinder is right up against the breach. I assume this is good?View attachment 1073472 View attachment 1073465
I put it in half cock and turned the cylinder through all the chambers a few times. Held the gun up to the light to see if I saw light. So far when one of the chambers is lined up with the breach I see 0 light coming through. Honestly the thinnest feeler gauge I've got is .015 and idk if I could get it through their. Won't try tonight on account of the gauges are down stairs in the garage and I don't wanna wake the dog up. Seems buttery smooth though so I'm pretty happy with it. Thinking about having it sent to you since your so highly recommended to see what you got to say about er. After I ordered it I read some stuff full of pictures with Pietta factory defects and I was worried but she looks fine to me. Although what would I know. Until now all I've ever had was two different cartridge firing double action swing arm revolversIf you drive the wedge in and the cylinder binds the arbor is short and needs correction. If someone says that's how to adjust the barrel to cylinder gap it's 100% wrong. The wedge is intended to be seated tight as in a light tap with a mallet. It holds everything together under tension, so there is no adjusting needed. You should get the same barrel to cylinder gap each time you assemble the gun.
I'm still wondering is the bag full of oil from the factory or what?She looks good brother. Clean her off and shoot her

I figured it was a petroleum based product so I will make sure it is completely removed before firing. With my work schedule this will have to wait since I'm doing 9 hrs 6 days a week.They come that way from the factory. Figure these guns ship from Italy to the USA.
I take a paper towel or rag and wipe down gun.
Jackrabbit1957. It being a Pietta most likely brand new the arbor should be okay correct??If you drive the wedge in and the cylinder binds the arbor is short and needs correction.

Yea Ive always loved the case hardened stuff looks good on shotgun frames tooLooking good. The CCH makes your gun. I had on of the plain blued steel framed .44 1851's that looked not as good as yours. Sorry I ever sold it, though I used the funds to buy my 1849. Oh well at least it was for another gun. Have fun making clouds of smoke.
That's exactly what it meansView attachment 1073624
I wonder if the 21 inside the square means 2021
not sure what I would be looking at. Never owned one of these. Gotta brushup on the terminologyHey Zulch, the arbor should be good, check it anyway, I found one that was way long a while back and a short one on Pietta's. The newer production stuff is 99% ok although one slips through occasionally, guess Guido has a rough day sometimes.

I understand Jackrabbit1957. He may indeed have had a bad day. That happens anywhereHey Zulch, the arbor should be good, check it anyway, I found one that was way long a while back and a short one on Pietta's.

One more thing! Anyone know a place to get some good wooden grips? I don't care for the polymer ones it came with at all
