The Darksider's Den / Re: Pietta Patterson issues - two hand cocking and cylinder will not rotate to 3 cyl
« Last post by Abilene on Today at 10:27:07 PM »...I once had delusions of attempting to build a patterson replica based on 1851 navy parts that looked ok from the outside but was actually functional….
I think you'd have to be a really good machinest to accomplish it, but I also think that if Uberti or Pietta were to design it that way with standard parts and action, it would be a good seller. Maybe even the folding trigger. Kind of like Pedersoli did with the Lightning rifle, they redesigned the innards so it actually works but still looks right. I never owned one, but have seen the parts diagram, and Cimarron used to have a bunch of the parts still in the parts bins, and a lot of them were very tiny and mysterious looking.
