Pietta factory tour

[Justin.44]

Hey guys, I just came across this YouTube video of a tour of the Pietta factory. It's a pretty long video that shows most of the process of making BP revolvers. The quality and attention to detail is incredible, and some of the machines they show are really cool. I just wanted to share this with anyone who's interested. Justin

Thank you for the interesting video link.

(It takes about 47 minutes to watch it all but IMO, it's time well spent if you don't have anything else to do.)

Very cool. I have been thoroughly impressed with the last couple Pietta percussion revolvers I’ve bought. Still not perfect, but the quality is certainly there.

It would be really cool to see a similar video showing the process of how they made the originals. It makes me really appreciate the work it took to make them with mid-1800's technology!

Cool video! A mixture of old and new machinery and good old hands on craftsmanship.
