The problem is that spell check will accept either. Just remember to check spelling before posting. 👍

It sounds like the hand is too long. I will let the experts chime in with better advice but It may just take a little filing and fitting to get *** to work. Have you deburred the new hand? It might be a burr jamming the works. A little 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper will remove an burrs.

I have used a 50/50 mix of acetone and model airplane glue, the type used for wooden models. I have had great success with tamping the prime all into the bottom of the cap and adding a drop of the mixture. It locks it all in.

Greetings from Texas. The ROA is a good score. Enjoy it and this forum.

Welcome fellow Texan from Hutto, Texas, home of the Hippos. Can't say I have such a colorful pedigree as my roots are like Heinz; 57 varieties. This is the forum to learn from.

It will sting like crazy if it gets into a cut on your hands. Don't ask me how I know. :eek:

I will let the experts chime in on the bullet because I have never used them. A lead ball from the sporting goods store is usually pure lead and that should be sufficient for your local regulations. A ball is just as much a projectile as a bullet. My recommendations fall with several other...

I had a similar problem with my Pietta Navy. The issue with mine was that the reset would happen well after the point where it should. It should reset when the hammer face breaks the plane of the recoil shield. Mine went way past that. My solution was to grind the inside diameter of the bolt...

To be accurate what you have is a Navy frame in an Army caliber. Colt never made a .44 cal Navy. Nice gun, though, have fun learning to shoot and maintain it.

I have come across about 1500 #10 CCI caps which happen to fit my Pietta original nipples nicely. I have not yet had a misfire. You speak of trying many caps but all on the same nipples? You have to find a combination of nipple/cap that works. Not all caps are sized the same and not all...

Very slick mechanism. Too bad it wasn't in .44 cal.
