Nope, they're slow. Uberti changed to a 1:18" across the board in early 2000's. Another reason why my revolvers are Uberti's . . . Mike -

Does anyone make/sell something like a snap cap cone to dry fire a revolver?
I've heard this before on another forum . . . I've never heard of it happening though . . . that's not to say it can't. "They're" iron, case hardened hammers may have done that but I think "our" steel hammers (through hardened for the most part) may be a little better. All of my... -

Custom Revolvers
Well, of course purpose made pins can be "fitted" to the particular frame and part whereas the mass produced screw is made "within" tolerances. Not to mention, many times the factory screw / screw-pin has a certain amount of warp to it. If it's enough of a warp and the screw / screw-pin becomes... -

Bingo, I totally get that!!! Believe me, the "tuned from (pick your importer) is really no more than a spring change and the "good" ones may correct bolt drop . . . That's not what I do . . . "They" don't - make and install a bolt block, add an action stop, thin the left bolt arm... -

Thanks, definitely a conversation starter!! I agree that it's not satisfying a perceived problem but it definitely is a mechanical enhancement or "upgrade" from the out of the box offerings . . . with added aesthetics. Mike -

Custom Revolvers
I understand that for sure, especially if it's your first time getting any type tuning. It's a lot like the presence of an action stop ( and adjusted correctly) , ya don't know till ya know. The mechanical accuracy of the hammer tracking perfectly ( zero slack) as well as the trigger is... -

Custom Revolvers
Well as stated, it's a custom "option" so . . . but likewise, it's interesting that (apparently) given the option, you'd choose "less mechanical accuracy" and ease of assembly / disassembly . . . Care to offer "why"? Just trying to understand "potential customer base" with something... -

Any that came from Colt came through the Custom Shop so there's not a "range". It would be a specific request. The only cap guns treated this way that I know of were commissioned by Tiffany. Thank you for your interest in my "Screwless" frame option. Mike -

Custom Revolvers
I talked with Jim Martin about these years ago. The welded up Colts used drop in pins for the bolt and trigger. They were held in place with set screws (where I put interference pins). I couldn't understand how you could install a hammer (with hand attached) from the rear with the pin... -

Custom Revolvers
Well, if you would actually read what I posted, I explained what you were seeing in the picture ( so nobody is trying pull anything "over" on anybody). Yes, they are PINS not SCREWS ( that actually means the action screws have been replaced with pins . . . so, NO SCREWS !! 😆). Just like... -

Custom Revolvers
No sir, the "Action pins" are held in place with basically interference pins that are tapered on the end. Just gently pushing the Action pins out (toothpick or whatever) will move the interference pins out of the way. The mounted back strap and trigger guard keep the interference pins in... -

The trigger / bolt pins locate where the original screw head and pin section ride ( thread section doesn't apply). The hammer pin does locate the small end on the minor dia. of the threads and the head of the pin locates in place of the screw head. Thanks for noticing . . . 😄 Mike -

Here's a new offering for the more "discriminating" shooter/ collector . . . called by Colt the "Screwless Frame". The action screws are replaced with custom oversized pins. The oversized pins introduce a more accurate operation of the action parts and generally remove the need for... -

Confused about the Captain Captain Schaeffer 1851 (original, not repro) loading lever?
I'm pretty sure it's just for looks. Personally, I think they are rather "ugly" . . . never been a "snubby" cap gun fan. Mike
