    Photos from "Desert Expedition 1864"

    Help with an 1851 Navy, alignment?

    Hello, I’m new to the hobby, and just purchased at a gun show an Armi San Marco apparently manufactured in 1979 (judging by the “AE” marking) brass 1851 Navy in .44 caliber, which I am really excited about. I own new Pietta models and this one just feels so much tighter, more solid, less...

I filled in the burnt wood and gave it a high gloss finish with multiple coats of poly. The single shot Kentucky was custom...

    Cylinder Replacement on a 51 Navy Replica

    Good afternoon, I have a replica 1851 Navy Colt (Appears to be an EIG replica) that I have fired a few dozen times now and have noticed a major accuracy issue that seems to result from the cylinder's manufacturing. It appears as though not all of the chambers align properly with the barrel when...

    Praise for a Pietta and Slix-Shot Nipples

    I got a Pietta 1851 Navy last week and decided to install the Slix-Shot nipples. After the first shots, the clouds parted, the sun shined, the heavens opened and I heard angels singing! There were absolutely ZERO cap jams! I only had trouble with putting one cap on the nipple. That was...
