Question about the Uberti 1849 pocket

[rabjr]

Anyone who has one, can you tell me what the bore diameter is on these .31 cal's?

I don't have a micrometer handy, but mine uses a .321 ball if that's of any help to you.

Curious about the actual bore, can't seem to find anything that says what it is. The ball would be a few thousands larger correct?

 

[Russ T Frizzen]

Found my micrometer and ran a ball through the barrel of my .31. It may vary by manufacturer, but my Uberti has a .31 bore with shallow rifling--.01 or so. The .321 ball gives good accuracy for me in this gun.

Ooh so yours measured .310?

My '49 is .310 also...Uberti

The Dixie Catalog (the paper one) says the Uberti 1849 Pocket Revolver has a .310 bore and 7 grooves .332 diameter (grooves are .011 deep).
It has a 1:48 twist.

The Uberti 1848 Baby Dragoon has the same bore dimensions.

The cylinders chambers should be .319 if the catalog is correct.
