Excellent video. You made a video that was fun to watch and I learned a lot. I wish more of these "Tubers" would follow your lead by being informative and not a bunch of "filler chatter" just to make a longer video. Thanks again!
Hi! With your video I got to fully disassemble, clean and lube the action of my brand new Pietta Colt 1851 Navy Yank .36. To my great dismay a bit of a timing issue developed right after doing that: at full cock the cylinder wanted to rotate further than it had any reason to, and it traveled back when I pulled the trigger. I admit I panicked a tiny little bit, then with your last few checks (around 12:20) and after watching Old Ranger's "Single Action Clicks and Timing - a Look Inside" video, I noticed my bolt wasn't fully rising up (no pun intended), so I checked the bolt spring screw and it was WAY too loose; I tightened it a little, not too much, and now everything works better than ever. Phew, what an emotional rollercoaster!
Thank you, dear sir. I had a problem with my 1851 Navy cylinder sometimes rotating too far. From your video, I went to disassemble it, only to realize a bolt screw was too loose. I tightened it up, and I did some more research, so I believe the screw was making the cylinder go too far. Wouldn't have been able to fix it without the video, so thank you.
First time fully disassembling any type of firearm, this video really helped, I did have a bit of a scare because I for a moment thought the hammer arm is what gave the hammer its tension lol
Interesting vid. One suggestion, for teardown, anytime i disassemble anything with small parts, especially if not reassembling within a few minutes i use a small multi section tackle box, write a legend on paper or write tags to store with parts.NOTE i disassembled a fishing reel several years earlier. Using this method several years later it went back together flawlessly after finding a broken reel at a garage sale with parts i needed.
The screw from the 7:10 mark of your video just fell out… I can’t seem to screw it back in… is the gun still okay to use? I don’t want it exploding on me. Thanks
Question. I had to disassemble my pistol due to a broken leaf spring. I now have all new parts, but once assembled the hammer won't lock all the way back. I found that it would lock back when I removed the cylinder, but reinstalling the cylinder and the hammer won't lock back again. Any thoughts?
I was looking at a UK website that sells Pietta Colt Navy 1851 blank firers recently and on the page it says that its not possible to disassemble them, but I see that one is disassembling for you just fine.
My Pietta navy 1851 which is the same as yours. Just brought. It won’t let me disassemble it at all. When I contacted them, they told me that the blank fires cannot Be taken apart anymore….crazy!!!
I've noticed you got a cartridge conversion, is the frame brass or steel ? I want to put a conversion on mine but read you can't on brass frame , any help??
I can't get mine apart for the life of me. I don't know if the previous owner ever took it apart or cleaned it. Does anyone have any recommendations to getting the barrel off that's stuck? I soaked some bore cleaner in it but that did t help. I ordered a gun lubricant I'm waiting to arrive
@@TaZ101SAGAI’ve been having the same issue and I’ve tried a small rubber mallet hitting it decently hard but I don’t want to bend it, any other suggestions or should I keep trying that way?
That wedge has a metal clip, push it down a little, then pound it thru, so when the wedge is pushed thru the clip will pop up and keep it in. compress it and it'll go right out
My problem is the hammer screw won't go back in. Plus the cylinder stop doesn't work proper. I'm not even really sure if what I have qualifies as a black powder pistol anymore really, I think it's just a 300$ scrap metal piece.
@@TaZ101SAGA Found a wedge that will remove with thumb pressure on the spring. Like I typed, neighbor -- fat chance I'll ever strike a case-hardened assembly a metallic object. I was trained specifically -- with emphasis -- never to do that when I trained as an aircraft mechanic. Striking a case-hardened assembly with a metallic object was more than enough to get you fired. Jet engines are very fickle, neighbor...
Thanks for making a video that wasn’t filled with a bunch of useless info and that was to the point and educational
Outstanding instruction. Done slowly, parts shown clearly, and parts explained in each step allowing ease of learning.

So far the best video I've seen thank you
good informative video, used it to open my 51 navy for the first time. You will be surprised that the revolver worked with that much gunk in there.

This is great, now whenever someone points a pietta 1851 Colt navy at me I can quickly disassemble their gun like a bugs bunny cartoon. 👍

Excellent video. Concise, informative, and illustrative.
Cara, o homem que inventou esta maravilha, era muito inteligente.
Great video! Thanks for putting it out.
Beautifull video, nice music, nice explanations, well done!
great video
A amazing video very helpful thank you

No, but you will need to order a replacement set of screws from Pietta.
How do u remove the arbor that cylinder rotates on
My barrel pin is super tight! My pietta 1851 is brand new and just want to wipe the excess grease off but can't seem to get that pin out!
thank you so much !!!

Where is the bottom of your forcing cone? Good informative video.
Very good explanation and presentation. Thank you.

It depends if they are old spec or not.
@@TaZ101SAGA I wondered about that, if it was an older one. I'd like to buy one but half the fun is to be able to disassemble the thing.
Great tutorial! Thanks

Blanks so doesn't matter.

Re watch 0:55 , try using a mallet on the ram rod.

@@eancola6111bigger hammer.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@BradleyAdams-nj5hc I eventually got it lol, it just took some force, now it’s the least of my issues with that gun
great video thanks
What if the wedge wont come out?... And i mean at all... Spring bounces but the wedge acts like its welded in place... Its never been shot
Why not buy a live firing one since their not hard to get in the uk?
@@Johndough-i5f Sure, send us the 2 + Grand and I'll get one ha ha.
Thats more then i thought their about $300 in the us
@Johndough-i5f Due to our crap gun laws I can only own an original.
Yeah tried everything from punches to wooden clothespins and can not get that wedge to come out at all to do an initial cleaning.
Time to go to gunsmith.
That wedge has a metal clip, push it down a little, then pound it thru, so when the wedge is pushed thru the clip will pop up and keep it in. compress it and it'll go right out
Thank you sir
I thought a brass frame could not be converted to smokeless
You can use either in these but I only use B.P
My problem is the hammer screw won't go back in. Plus the cylinder stop doesn't work proper. I'm not even really sure if what I have qualifies as a black powder pistol anymore really, I think it's just a 300$ scrap metal piece.
If you think for one millisecond I am going to beat on the side of my weapon with a metallic object to unseat the cylinder lock, you are ignorant.
Do as you please.
@@TaZ101SAGA Your method doesn't work anyway -- that cylinder lock isn't going anywhere on this weapon this year... Go ahead and remain ignorant.
@TennesseeHomesteadUSA Your views are greatly appreciated. Thanks for coming.
