Uberti pock mark in frame
Just a little added assurance, here's my own Whitneyville. It's had a lot of heavier than "bp loads" and just last week had 20 +p's through it. Look familiar? Mike -

.36 Colt Navy that powerful??????
Yeah but the acp is 230gr vs 80gr. Little bit of difference. My 220gr acp's travel 1000+ fps. Mike -

Uberti pock mark in frame
To help maybe drive home a point, here's 3 Pietta shop guns - You don't have an "old brood mare". Two days ago I took my Whitneyville and 1st Mod. to the range and both Dragoons shot 45C +p's just perfectly!! They are strong as an ox!!! Mike -

Uberti pock mark in frame
Honestly, it's not a void or flaw (even though it keeps being mentioned as). If you "zoom in", you can see what they should look like. It's totally open all the way. Mike -

Custom Revolvers
Thank you for responding and I agree, it wouldn't make you shoot better. "Mechanical accuracy" is purely about the mechanics of the operation of the action ( longevity) . . . and the "Screwless" ( no slots) aspect is purely a "distinctive" (rarity) or "exclusive" feature few revolvers will... -

Dragoons
The Walker and Whitneyville are the same. There's a cut in the frame AND the trigger guard for the "nose" on the grip that was removed on the 1-3 Mods. You can parts swap the Walker arbor to a 3rd Mod Dragoon and have a "3rd mod. Walker" and a Whitneyville Dragoon. and, it's described as a... -

Stoeger and Cimarron Walker
All the "tuning" I've ever seen from an importer is a spring change. Mike -

Trying too hard?
Well, "B&B" is an 1860 Army (Uberti) that is converted to 45acp ( the very 1st one) to allow "uper end" testing of the open-top platform. The load was Hornady Critical Duty 45acp+p. Mike -

Trying too hard?
Took "Beauty and the Beast" for a "shakedown" run with the new "Screwless Frame" pins and new 11° forcing cone!! This was 5 shots @ 10 yards off hand. The circled one is from a Dragoon . . . Mike -

Maximum loads for 1858 Remington
Hmmmmmmmmmm . . . I think there's some info missing . . . I'm pretty sure you won't get 357Mag. or 44Mag pressure with cap guns using loose powder and ball . . . Are you a reloader? Mike -

Issues with new Pietta.
No sir. A "leg" or "arm" dropping off the cam is called "BOLT DROP" because THAT'S when the bolt head (the ball) literally drops onto the cylinder. It's the second click when cycling the hammer back. RESET is when the "leg" or "arm" snaps back over the cam just before the hammer comes to a... -

Issues with new Pietta.
Actually, you're saying it backwards. As the hammer is drawn back, the bolt arm is ON the hammer cam and it stays on the cam until it literally falls off. That would be "bolt drop" and shortly after that will be "full ****". When the trigger is pulled, the hammer will move forward and as... -

Issues with new Pietta.
Local fiend, your description of "what" is happening is wrong but you're correct in the picture of what needs to be addressed. The bolt arm "drops off" of the cam when the hammer is near full **** (bolt drop). As the hammer falls, the hammer cam pushes the bolt arm to the side as it passes... -

Issues with new Pietta.
David, what is happening is you don't have "reset" with a cap installed but you DO have "reset" with no cap. That is fairly common with reproductions. What you need to do is remove material in the left bolt arm where the hammer cam resides. It's the simi- circular cut at the lower side of the...
