Thank you kindly. I actually have a Hartford .36 cal. replica but looks and disassembles exactly the same, so this was very helpful. New to the black powder world but loving it!
The wedge retaining screw is there to keep some ham handed trooper from dropping the wedge and losing it putting the gun out of action. Also it had a flat side so all it took was a half turn not removal and get lost. Eventually the lock work mechanism must be removed to be cleaned. I clean about every 75 rounds or so. That curved hammer inside face funnels cap residue into the frame. Tnks excellent video very good closeup sots.
And great video entertaining and informative as always it's been rainy and just above freezing for the past couple days here in Nebraska or I'd be tempted to shoot mine as well
Nasty weather. Got down to 12° here the other day. Just a dusting of snow. Seeing on the weather that here on the coast we'll have very similar conditions to yours this weekend though. I think Inland is going to get a bunch of snow. Take care my friend, always great to hear from folks.
Great tutorial, but I have a pair of Pieta 1851s that DO have the Naval battle scenes. Looking at pics of the originals it seems some had slick cylinders, some had the battle scene. I'm near Bangor, btw. AGE Msgt ret.
Good video, and I'm not criticizing it at all. But from your description I thought you were going to completely disassemble it. I was looking for a refresher on disassembling the whole gun. The mainspring is a real bear to get back together😉
@yewzernayme9247 oh man what a bummer. Depending on where you live I know my local hardware store has gunsmithing screws (which are actually a different tpi than standard. So it may be as quick as going to your local Ace or True Value and checking there then just trying it or comparing to a screw you do have. Good luck my friend and enjoy the project. And as far as yours goes, as the mad hatter said, "we're ALL mad here 🤪 " 🤙
Oh no! Yeah most definitely have to stay on top of cleaning black powder firearms . Honestly I would start by getting your hands on some regular Teflon based Rem oil in a spray can and absolutely soak that thing and let it work into all the cracks and then start seeing if you can slowly work it loose. Normally you want to stay as far away from synthetic gun oils as you can with black powder but in an extreme case like yours where quite possibly rust has set in you've got to have something strong to break through it. That being said once you hopefully get everything separated and apart you definitely want to clean all the modern solvents off and then start over again with bore butter or something similar for black powder otherwise you run the risk of seizing everything out when you shoot it next and the black powder smoke and residue hits the synthetic oils. That's at least a good place to start. Best of luck. Let us know how it turns out.
I have the exact same pistol and the loading lever came out, not even sure how I did that. I cannot get it back in correctly, can I get some direction please?
Question, I just recently inherited a black powder pistol. It looks identical to that one, is stamped DGG Patent N, made in Italy. No where on this thing is it stamped for caliber??? When I measure the bore with a micrometer it measures .442 which would suggest 45 but everything I see online suggests .44?? Any help would be great. Mine also has the battle etched into the cylinder, also says engaged 16 May 1843
hmmm that is a tough one. I would recommend that you bring that to a gunsmith because the standard internal barrel dimension of a 44 caliber revolver is actually .451 or in some cases .454 but I have never heard of a .442 diameter black powder revolver. there WAS a a British Beaumont Adams revolver that was a .442 and the Webley as well but... yah, I would definitely have a gunsmith look it over to be sure of what you have got to be on the safe side.
They do make a conversion cylinder kit to fire I think it's 45 Long Colt for these, but you have to be sure to get the one specifically for Pedersolli since the cylinders are not interchangeable between manufacturers by what I've seen. Hope this helps.
Provided that you have already removed the retaining screw it sounds to me (without being there) that you have a stuck wedge pin. There are a couple great videos on TH-cam on how to get that taken right care of. We have never done a video on it as I haven't as of yet encountered it. When you do get it out, and you WILL I definitely recommend you give that thing some bore butter when reinstalling it so she doesn't seize up on you again. Just be patient and get some direct force on the wedge itself so that you don't damage the revolver. As I said though, if you just look up how to get a stuck wedge pin out on an 1850 army revolver, you'll find one or two helpful videos here on TH-cam. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
Why do you have to be a jerk! Don''t watch the video if you don't like it. This guy is simply trying to make a helpful video and I'm sure he doesn't need your negative comments. Maybe you should go back to school and learn some manners.
@@athomeinthesouth01 IF some random Bot wants to give firearms instruction then he damn sure needs to be accurate because we can't ask questions... Get it now ?
You don't need to remove the screw but it doesn't hurt. As for his method for removing cylinder it is correct and I have been doing it that way for 50+ years! So would appear your the one that needs to go back to school, Would seem you didn't grease the locking pins or the arbor.

Thank you very much, I had no idea how to take mine apart. Haven't fired it and wanted to know how to disassemble before I go to the range.
Awesome! Thanks for checking out our video my friend! Happy shootin!

@@TheMaineiacguy just curious who's the maker of your revolver? mine's a peitta and has features of the 1851 and the 1860 combined
@@johnnycovenant2286 this one's a pieta as well

Great vid, thanks for taking the time. Any recommendations for parts? I'm missing some screws, and so is my pistol.

Taylors & Company good for almost anything you need weather it's a uberti or Pietta. Also Dixie gun works has many replacement parts.
1851 .36 Navy was the first with naval scene, but keep coming back
Nice video thank you!
How can I get the barrel off when it's stuck on? I'm not sure if the previous owner ever cleaned it or took it apart..

all i need to know is what are those pins called that you were talking about putting bore butter on.
You know, I'm not sure. I've always just referred to them as frame pins or arbors.
I have the exact same pistol and the loading lever came out, not even sure how I did that. I cannot get it back in correctly, can I get some direction please?
Take the screw out put it all back together put the screw back in

Army revolver with Navy battle scene must be the Marines 😮HooRah
Can you buy center fire cylinders for this type of gun to shoot brass bullets
They do make a conversion cylinder kit to fire I think it's 45 Long Colt for these, but you have to be sure to get the one specifically for Pedersolli since the cylinders are not interchangeable between manufacturers by what I've seen. Hope this helps.
@@TheMaineiacguy thanks
No offense but you should’ve included how to completely disassemble it all you did was show how to take the barrel off but otherwise nice vid.
That's all you need
I cant take out the pin

Don't be afraid to whack it with a wooden or plastic mallet you won't hurt it. also could put a squirt of PB blaster around it to break free any rust
You talk too much. Remove the screw or no ? Yes or no ! In any event your method to remove the cylinder doesn't work. Go back to school.

No the screw only keeps the wedge from falling and getting lost during disassembly.
