The Leather Shop / Re: New Sunday Scabbard

I may have lead you to think this was his first holster. That is not correct.  It was his first attempt at the Sunday Scabbard.

Mike is an accomplished leather worker.

Hi
While TRUE, I have Will Ghormlehy's pattern for the Lone Star / Brill Holster.  That holster is a whole nother level past the 3:10 to Yuma holsters.

Uberti, Pietta and other SAA Clones / Re: Donor Pistol
« Last post by Abilene on Yesterday at 08:12:05 PM »
I'm guessing you meant .38 instead of .35 ?  So you are going to re-chamber the cylinder and replace the barrel with a 44-40 barrel?

Thanks for the help. I got a load that works great with trailboss   Now I need help on how to shoot the 03 left handed. My first try today I did my little finger in.

Uberti, Pietta and other SAA Clones / Donor Pistol
« Last post by Niederlander on Yesterday at 06:27:43 PM »
Finally got a Cimarron Frontier .35 by Pietta to convert to .44 Special.  It does have a few sharp edges that need stoning, otherwise a very nice pistol.  I can see why people like Pietta SAA's!

Well, got home a little bit ago, got the Bus unloaded and catching up on emails. A wonderful weekend with family, God is so kind. Back to work tomorrow, no travel plans for a couple of months, but family coming in June, so we get to spoil kids some more. A couple of bad storms while we were gone, the Bus took some small hail dents one night, aggravating as it only has 5,000 miles on it. Anyway, y'all be good.

King,

Look at the two pictures in this link.  https://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php?topic=55098.0
Jahoody has very good pictures of what is and is not USFA (correctly abbreviated this time, HA HA).  The two photos are the loading gate cut-outs for Uberti's and USFA's.  This is also the third (3rd) sticky above in the USFA CSS Forum section.

Also go back to this link that I posted previously in your other posting about the USFA's.   https://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php?topic=57348.0
Buckaroo Lou's photos of Ejector housing and cylinder flutings are still present showing Uberti vs USFA down in Reply #15.

Frontier Iron / Re: Cimarron's new American model!

 Speed your 'play' problem is not unusual as even original S&W top breaks had this problem. So how did the S&W factory solve this problem?

 I've spent a lot of time with original No.2 frame SA's and DA's. More parts than you would imagine are interchangeable even with productions dates 40 years apart. The factory adjustment was the shaft diameter of the barrel latch screw. I have measured no less than 4 different shaft diameters on the No. 2 frame top breaks that I have. That difference is the adjustment between the barrel latch/rear sight and the barrel latch lugs on the frame. Smaller shaft diameters make the lockup looser and the larger shaft diameters make the lockup tighter. I have no idea if Uberti offers latch screws with different shaft diameters to 'tune' the lock-up of any of the Uberti made top breaks. 

 The  posted pic is of a pair of Second Model 38 SA framed (dated to 1881 and 1883) revolvers with Third Model 38 DA 5" barrels and Fourth Model 38 DA cylinders (post 1900). The better metallurgy in the post 1900 cylinders makes the light smokeless powder loads I create much safer to shoot. Light loading is to not abuse and be more gentle on the BP frames

I still am unclear where your talking about the loading gate part.

After you remove the cylinder, with the loading gate open and the barrel pointed away from you look down from the top with your revolver slightly tilted to the left at where the loading gate pivot stud fits into the frame and you will see either a small triangular shaped hole or a slightly larger rectangular shaped hole right where the pivot stud and frame meet. If it is rectangular shaped, then USA frame and if triangular then Italian frame.

And I agree with Coffinmaker. You have a very nice revolver to enjoy for years to come.
