Yall might think I am crazy--but the newer brass frames are weaker. The 1970's CVA -NAVY ARMS and others had a better brass than what you pic up on new Piettas. The internal springs might be stiff on Old Repos but I bet the brass is stronger. The ones made during the War between the States were even stronger. I had one. I think not being a metalurgist that brass is made from copper and zinc. The older guns were more of a stronger type bronze -that is why you should be careful in using new "cheap" brass guns offered today! If you can buy one for less than $180. just think what wholeseller paid and what factory sold it for? Not much money spent for a dangerous weapon holding explosives!
