Cyl-Barrel alignment

Jackrabbit1957...I'M look for someone named Bad Karma who you reworked an 1860 Army for. Would like to ask him how it worked out for him.

Thank you,

I thought so as well, but the misalignment is top to bottom. The tip of the arbor is low compared to the threaded end.

Doesn't ring a bell, however there's a good handful of folks here that might offer a comment or two.

Hey Jackrabbit, I’m Bad Karma… and the gun is the 1860 Pietta you cut and tuned for me some time ago…

If you would like to sell it, I'm interested.

Sure thing. Still for sale.

Great. I'll take it.

Just sent Woodnbow the list of stuff that was done to the revolver. Will list it here as well. Arbor corrected, Barrel/ cylinder gap corrected, torsion springs installed, bolt guide installed, timing corrected, Ruger type plunger and spring for the hand installed, action stop and action shield installed, cut barrel down and fabricated and installed a new front sight. I believe that's everything.

Thanks....that is awsome.
Look forward to shooting it.
30 gr FFFg about right?

 

[Jackrabbit1957]

That will work.

And I’m using .457 ball or Kerr bullets.

Thanks,
I have been using a .457 ball & Kado 220gr bullet in my '58 Rem with good results also.
