How to tune your BP Pistol
I just found a couple EXCELLENT resources which I thought would help folks learn how to tune their BP pistols. It's geared toward the Pietta pistol, but I believe it can be applied to most other manufactures as well.
Kudos to the author, Larsen E. Pettifogger, for doing an outstanding job! http://www.theopenrange.net/articles...a_Part_One.pdf http://www.theopenrange.net/articles...a_Part_Two.pdf |

These are indeed useful articles. They've been posted many times on this and other forums, but it doesn't hurt to remind us about them; I tend to think everyone's familiar with them, but that's obviously not the case. Thanks for the post.

These should probably be stickied, then. I've loved those posts since the first day I held a Pietta.

Sorry if it's a duplicate thread guys.
I just saw this for the first time by doing a Google search and thought it was great information. |

It's good this comes up for the newer members. When I first started doing the gun forums I would read the old posts but you can't read them all. To all the newer guys, don't be embarrassed to ask any question. We all started off as FNG's. |

58 Remmie?
Is there a similar tune up guide for the 58 Remington?

Thank you for the links, as I've never seen these before (and I've been rolling around TFL since practically its inception ). It's only been the last five years or so that I have done any sort of playing with the insides of my guns, though.
I really have been enjoying this BP section of the forum - what a good crew! |

Check the stickies here and also the SCORES section http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/ The Remington has fewer issues than the open tops generally. No arbor fit issues that plague the open top Colt. Hand springs and bolt springs are known to break, other than that the 1858 is pretty trouble free. Polishing the hand and hand slot inside the frame well really improve the 'feel' of the action. Anyplace metal moves against metal should be smooth as possible with out removing material. |

Remington assembly/disassembly instructions (but not tune-up help) are under the sticky at the top of the bp forum on The High Road forum. I'd provide a link but it's not loading at the moment.
