Brass Frame 1851 on its way, Midway got me again
« on: May 08, 2021, 02:18:39 PM »
    Well crap,I skimmed midway last night when I came in house,they'd got a handful of 5.5" barrel brass frame Pietta 51 Navys in and also on sale L@J,I realise not totally correct but not the .44 caliber thing either,and honestly I dont have a problem with the never were guns as long as a fella knows what it is,just a fun gun to shoot :)
      I kinda wanted a cheap gun to play with,I want to try aging one and something without a long barrel will be handier to carry,also something that I dont care if stocks and metal get banged and scratched up while working around farm,it should fit my wants very well.

  I'm sure everyone knows what a brass frame Pietta 51 Navy looks like,but here's a pic anyway LOL.
   Exterior fit and finish look good,bolt needs some attention its dragging pretty bad on cylinder,action just feels crunchy,I'll tear it down clean up any burrs and go from there,I got it for a project so I'm happy.
