New BP Revolver/Questions?

[Rinehartdv]

I have a new Pietta BP revolver. I believe it is a 1861 Colt repro. Any info. on this revolver such as quality, defects, links to schematics, etc.,. would be very much appreciated. I intend to spend some quality time with my son shooting this revolver. He called "Dibs" on it as soon as he saw it. Semper Fi, Ray

I would suggest if time allows - a thoro search of the BP forum ........ so much info is there - some by Gatofeo is particularly useful.

VTI Gun parts has an exploded view and you can buy replacement parts for your 1861 should you need them later.
