Pietta 1860 Army With Shoulder Stock

[expat_alaska]

Found this one on GB today. Very nicely figured wood (stock and grips) but just slightly dinged up. If that is a Pietta stock it is better wood than is usually present on the ones sold by EMF. J-hook housing length and J-hook length correct for the 1860 Army gripframe. Datecode BH/1996.

Wish I had some money (as usual!).

I noticed that one. Pretty nice wood, do you know if that stock would fit an Uberti?

I don't see why it would not fit. For comparison:

My Pietta(?) shoulder stock on my ASM 1860 Army 4-srew CFS (cut-for-stock).



Same stock on my Pietta 1851 Navy 4-screw CFS with Pietta 1860 gripframe.



Pietta(?) stocks on non-Pietta revolvers (no barrel billboard):

1860 Army
1861 Navy
1858 Remington


The first two stocks are the Colt Type 3 (note the different J-hook housing lengths depending upon grip length).

The third stock is the type that Pietta markets for the 1851 Navy 3-screw frames not CFS. It includes a replacement 2-headed hammer screw for the stock yoke to attach. Pietta was not the first to use this design. Gregorelli & Uberti (G.U.) was in business from 1959-1962 and produced a very similar stock.





I hope this info is of some value to you.
