Oldman,...Question for you. In your post # 38, you said " This thing was not releasing the bolt until the hammer actually hit the nipple".By that statement, did you mean that the that the hammer cam was not releasing the bolt to timely engage a cylinder notch as you pulled the hammer tothe full cock position?? Thanks,Brownie

I have to get some round balls casted but man it's been so hot I don't want to go do anything after work. I enjoy doing things myself but I have to work still so my range time and casting time is not as important as paying the bills. Staying caught up at home with me traveling is hard to do. Thanks for all the help and keep on BP shooting.oldman, good morning. I totally understand the work issue. I still work as well. I used to travel for work quite a bit myself but thankfully no longer. It seems we spend the better part of our days at work. I realize you are looking at Uberti for the 1861 but the new Pietta's do not need the short arbor fix as you may be aware of ...just sayin' Z Meanwhile, here's my 1861 Pietta I agree a beautiful pistol, I really like the look of the finish. Only reason I mentioned Uberti is they are actually cheaper for the 1861 than the Pietta version? Which is backwards from most versions? I do prefer the Pietta's as well.
