UPDATE 05/04/24 - 1851 Colt Navy by Uberta (new - unfired)

.

Uberti 1851 Navy Black Powder Revolver 36 Caliber 7.5" Barrel Case Hardened Frame Blued.

A new purchase: Uberta 1851 Colt Navy from a gentleman on the Muzzleloading Forum, should be delivered on this Monday. Have a friend (gunsmith) that works on black powder revolvers.


Gun has been sent for these upgrades by a person that specializes in these guns.

First thing: he does an action job to insure it has a smooth feel.

Second thing: checks cylinder bore for largest one.

Third thing: will use original nipples, if there's a problem he'll switch to "Slixshot" nipples which use #11 caps.

Fourth thing: depending on the bore size as to whether .375 swaged balls will work or may have to get a custom mold for a larger size ball.

INSTALLATION OF:

The bolt block lays beside the bolt and restricts lateral movement but allows vertical movement so the bolt can do its job- locking and unlocking the cylinder. Its presence also protects the cylinder notches by not allowing throw-by (which destroys notches!). It's what allows speed to be a characteristic of your revolver.

In conjunction with the bolt block, the action stop is the best protection against damage for the hand, ratchet and extra insurance for the cylinder notches. It prohibits movement of the hammer after full cock is reached. That keeps the hand from trying to turn a locked cylinder.

The block can be seen in this pic. It is directly in front of the trigger, laying full length beside the bolt.

The action stop is mounted in the trigger guard directly under the hammer. When the main spring contacts the stop, all action movement is done !!


I told Mike (custom gunsmith) I want all upgrades on the inside (nothing seen from the outside of revolver).

• Just like the old days when playing with cars; 1954 Ford 4 door sedan (stock in appearance) but under the hood was a 1960 395 c.i. Caddy (Isky cam, dual 4 barrels, etc,) with worked over hydro trans and cut down Olds rear-end. Won a bunch of money $$$ with this car street racing.
