    barrel re-boreing

    Back the day there were people on these forums, who were having 1" 54 cal. barrels bored out to .62. Usually they were Green Mountain IBS barrels. But I can't remember who the tradesman was that was doing this. Any info would be appreciated.

    .50 caliber Colt Dragoon?

    I just had a similar experience, got it off Gunbroker. Looks similar to yours but has the extra screws for a butt stock though the grips aren't set up for it. Cylinders are .482, cone is .484 and the muzzle is .482. The date code is AH so it would appear to be a 81.

    .50 caliber Colt Dragoon?

    Similar experience, bought one off Gunbroker, went to load it and the .451 bullet fell into the chamber. Was a little dumbfounded at first, then I remembered this thread. Using a caliper the cylinders are .482 to .483, the forcing cone is .484 at the leading edge. The most I get at the muzzle...

    1860 Armi San Paola

    The frame is being described as a Armi San Paolo, I never tried any Uberti screws, mainly cause all I had at my disposal was San Marco, and Pietta parts and revolvers.

    I guess that now that I work where there is a mill shop, if need be I have the four holes opened up and threaded to accept the Pietta screws.

    1860 Armi San Paola

    So after almost 3 yrs I am back to this revolver, I have a replacement frame with arbor/ cylinder pin coming. Now I am looking for just the backstrap screws, which are the same as the rear trigger guard. S&S are out of stock, Winchester Sutler seems to be gone. I have sent a e-mail to Euro arms...

    1860 Armi San Paola

    Yes it is as steel frame, used a hardwood wedge to move pin up, went a little to far and had to bring it back down, it assembles easily, doesn't bind. It still has issues, so I think I will set it aside for awhile or leave it as is, don't know yet. thanks for all the input, neither sutler had...

    1860 Armi San Paola

    I have a this revolver that is in need of parts and advice. I received the piece as being locked up, it was, nothing would move, barrel wedge had to be drifted out, hammer screw was partly backed out and bound. Once dis-assembled, screw threads cleaned up and frame reassembled, cylinder slid in...
