Video - Modifying the Pietta 1851 Navy for reliability

duelist1954 · Mar 15, 2012

This is the second installment of my video series about modifying the Pietta 1851 revolver. In this segment we'll make some changes to the Pietta 1851 Navy revolver to improve its reliability. We'll fill in the safety slot on the hammer face. We will istall after-market nipples and we will smooth up the action.

if you bought a UBERTY would you have to do all that work???? :idunno:

Mine has that notch in the hammer so I might fill it the same way he did with the Pietta... :hmm:

I have more Ubertis than Piettas, but except for the grip mod in the earlier video, the reliability work I do is the same on any new gun. Most Colt repros need to have either new nipples or the hammer nose filled in to keep from sucking caps.

Mike, do you have a link to this video or a copy you could send me? I really would like to watch it and I see it’s gone from YouTube. Thanks, Rodney

Not videos but here are a couple of interesting PDF tutorials on the 1851.
