Hello,
I have 5 Pietta 1860 and the Kirst 45Colt Pietta conversion does not fit rightaway in any of them, problem being the timing of rotation of cylinder. It seems that it is due to hand or bolt adjustment which does not permit to free soon enough the cylinder when starting the rotation.
I understand hat I could adjust it to function but my goal is to swap back and forth without modification between percussion cylinder and Kirst . If I adjust for Kirst, it will not be adjusted anymore for the percussion cylinder ?
I have a 1858 Uberti 45Colt Kirst conversion which swaps easily, no timing job being necessary, and would like to be able to do so with my Colt.
Any idea ?
Thanks
