    Pietta 1851 Navy .44 cal. Questions

    I don't have any problem getting it out with a couple of tools now that I know how it works, I was just envisioning walking down a dusty street, shooting it out with Clint, and changing to a new cylinder on the fly without any tools...just my hands. :thumbsup: I guess I got the wrong gun to...

    Pietta 1851 Navy .44 cal. Questions

    Thanks for all of the suggestions and replies! I'm putting together an order from Track of the Wolf now. Their nipple wrench was recommended by someone else. They said it was well made. Think I'll soak it in some lubricating oil while I wait on my order. On another question. I got the...

    Pietta 1851 Navy .44 cal. Questions

    Is there a link somewhere that has directions on how to take the Pietta .44 Navy apart and put back together? It looks fairly simple but I've found that sometimes things are not as simple as they look when it comes to taking apart a gun and putting it back together! :cursing: Bobby

    Pietta 1851 Navy .44 cal. Questions

    Thanks for the replies. I went back and played with it and figured it out. I wasn't sure if there was something else holding the cylinder that I couldn't see and didn't want to force it and screw something up. I looked at the nipples you suggested. While searching around I ran across this...

    shooting too high!

    Here's a video fixing the problem you have. This guy is sighting in at 15 yards instead of the 25 you talked about, so I'm thinking it should be about the same distance to modify your hammer. Hope this helps.

    Pietta 1851 Navy .44 cal. Questions

    I just purchased a Pietta 1851 Navy .44 cal. and have not shot it yet. How much powder is recommended for the brass frame .44 and does anyone have a favorite measuring/loading device? I got some #11 caps at Gander Mtn. yesterday but they're too lose. I read about using RWS 1075 caps or other...

    1075 caps

    Thanks for the replies. In order to not hijack the original thread topic of 1075 caps, I'll start a separate thread for some questions I have on the 1851 model that I have. Bobby

    1075 caps

    I'm not new to black powder, but it's been a while since I've hunted with my Hawkins .50 cal. I remember getting caps that were lose and didn't fit right. I went to a gun shop that knew about black powder and he sold me some really good fitting nipples. I don't remember the brand or size. I...

    Hello From North Carolina!

    I just ordered my first BP revolver today. A 1851 CONFEDERATE NAVY .44 CALIBER REVOLVER From Cabela's. I figured this would be a good place to come and learn about it. I do leatherwork and want to make a period correct gunslinger type holster. If anyone has any suggestions on where to start...
