Uberti now makes these guns with a 1851 Navy Cylinder. I had Hoof Hearted remove the engraving so it looks more like an original. Good job and I like the look.

nice job ....

Great looking piece.  I had a Pietta '51 Colt and a G&G one time and I swapped the barrels and cylinders around and temporarily made a L&R.

I don't get it. How much effort would it take for Uberti to yank some cylinders before the roll stamp process and reinsert them in the manufacturing chain once passed that process?

I agree Fred ,Look's like if you would want to build a good copy that leaving of the roll engraving would be the easy part. I have an old 1970's era Griswold&Gunnison revolver that has the roll engraving on the cylinder . Sad part is the engraving look's really good if it were on a 1851 Navy. But just jumps out at Ya on the G&G.That Hoof did a fine job for Ya, a fine looking pistol.,,,,,Dusty

I have a bad habit of getting it in my head that something is not "right" and then chasing a resolution leading with my wallet. sigh.
But I do really like this revolver. I also am very fond of the Pietta Dance Brothers gun...and all the rest of em.

Too bad they changed it.  Mine is but 10 years old, but has a plain cylinder.  Seems like it would be cheaper to leave the cylinder unengraved, but they probably want to blue at the end and not have to sort.  I recall someone complaining on one of these websites that they got a Navy without the engraving... perhaps Uberti has some careless assemblers.
