QUICK MOD TO A UBERTI 1862 POCKET NAVY

- MY UBERTI 1862 POCKET NAVE HAD A FEW ISSUES WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW. TO CORRECT THIS I HAVE ARLEADY REPLACED THE STOCK NIPPLES( OR CONES AS THEY WERE CALLED I NTHE OLD WEST) WITH TRESCO REPLACEMENTS FROM TAYLORS AND COMPANY. THIS CURE MUCH OF THE CAPJAM ISSUE AS LESS GAS PRESSURE WAS ALLOWED TO ESCAPE THRU THE NIPPLE BACK TOWARDS THE HAMMER UPON FIRING. IN THIS VIDEO I TRY A LITTLE MOD TO CHANGE THE PLACEMENT OF THE MAINSPRING TO INCREASE THE PRESSURE ON THE HAMMER AND TO HOPEFULY KEEP MORE OF THE GASSES OUT OF THE ACTION UPON FIRING. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING

By golly I’m learnin me some stuff! Thank you Sir 🫡
Love the smell of Black Powder! 🇺🇸 🇳🇿
I wound up adding a second spring and trescos to my 1849 due to the same issue. Rarely shoot the thing. May have to try this on it see if it'd be enough... Thanks Blackie.
You always give experienced. Advise. Thanks!
Blackie, Great Video and Outstanding Information, Thanks for Sharing your Time and knowledge and wisdom.
The pocket models are sweet little firearms Blackie. Thanks A lot and Happy New Year! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
I agree totally. The original springs were definitely heavier. Why not make a heavier spring ? I have made 8-10 from 1095 spring steel 1/8” thick. Taper thickness and width seems more like original colt springs.
Good advice. Great video.
Thanks Blackie, good information! Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
THANK YOU! SIR! I "LIKE IT!" I may try this on ever one? ONE First! this Sounds totally Logical, and on point Mechanically.
Damn good knowledge to know for my dragoon if its needed, as I've already replaced my main spring before. An I'm sure there not all the same poundage from the factory, or replacements either. Thx for the vid Blackie
Good information, thanks
thanks
Looks like you antiqued your pocket navy. I dont know about you but now that i have a pocket navy. its become one of my favorite cap and ball revolvers to shoot. Its just a fun little revolver.
Hi snapper 😃
@@Bucky1836 hey justin how are you brother. Hows the 1877
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your information
hay earl, I'm just east of you in Schenectady County! small world! Anyway, I think the slick shots are made of stainless so they change the look. I think Tresco makes them out of steel so the look is the same?
Ok my friend
Thin peace of leather between spring and frame. ...THIN.
Great job Blackie, good to know. I know you're a very busy man with a lot on your plate. I have a question I hope you can reply. I'm just getting back in to black powder revolvers after over 30 yrs ago.
I just got a new revolver and can't wait to take it to the range. I've heard that it's good to remove all the factory oil that comes on the new gun before your first time shooting it and that would decrease the amount of fouling and getting it gummed up. Do you do that with a new revolver? and what do you use to do it? or is there one of your videos you can refer to me? I've watched a lot of your videos but there are so many. Thanks.
👍🏻🔥
That does it!
Don't use CCI magnum caps, those are for the Lymans Great Plain rifle.
Just add a second spring on top of the one there. Done
Ile would both and use a di-electric spacer to prevent electrolysis. The only main spring breaking I have had was due to electrolysis.
having Much OJT with cathodic reactions. The main spring will always touch the brass frame, and that brass frame will always touch steel frame.
I suspect your failure was more an environment, alloy, QC, or lube issue.
@@davefellhoelter1343 Mine don't except through the screw . The flat areas are where the EL. happens/ something as simple as a piece of electrical tape will stop it. 30 yrs in the marine business gives me a good basis about corrasion of all types.
@@USAACbrat Is this Sparky? shooting soon? I'm loaded up.
@@davefellhoelter1343 Tomorrow at 11:30 my son and I are hitting the pistol range. With my .38 conversions.
Didn't they used to use a little piece of leather pressed between the spring and where the screw went?
Hey Blackie, great channel! Any chance you comment on the truth or myth about hand pressing a cap on a black powder revolver cylinder? It's been said that you can set the cap off pressing to hard? Also what about if you store away separately, a loaded 1858 Remington cylinder with caps on it. Can it be set off when you need to do a speed load for home defense?
some caps are a bit sensitive and if the nipple is sort of fat it can be hard to force it down and seat ,,Elmer Keith spoke in his book SIXGUNS of a cap popping and leaving a blood blister on his thumb . /as to the rem capped cyl.. any sharp blow into the cap will cause it to go off so if you fumble the reload and drop it on to say gravel like at outdoor shooting ranges ir might go off facing up at you
Never had this problem with my Glock 19.
😂 That’s like comparing a Corolla to a Model T. Or a horse in this case.
@@samuelprice2461 🤪
Im pretty sure Blackie has a him a Glock as well 😅
With the pocket models, Uberti is a bit sloppy with their tolerances.
have a question about a older uberti may be you can in lighten us.
we are looking at what appears to be but do Not know or have not been able to find answers on this 36. brass frame, looks like a colt but has a round 5" barrel. my little experience says its a pocket griswold and gunnison but we can't find there ever was such a thing. any insight on how to find out what this 36 is a replica to. Thank you
i might guess leach and rigdon ""idea"" gun i say idea to mean they made many such confederate inspired guns in the past 25 yrs often with a brass frame and a round barrel
@@blackoracle69
appreciate you making videos and responding. we will look down that path👍
Has your loading lever retainer ever broke loose on your remington 1858 or is yours dove tailed?
mine has not and its staked in place
I love you, Blackie, and this was a great video. But, I don’t think that you really get the idea of “Shorts” 😅
Fair enough! i just used my ph to record instead of digging my usual camera out lol
Great video, Blackie. What is causing my 1860 Pietta Colt army from latching into full cock?? It latches in half cock but not full. Thanks for any advice.
Fixed it. The pin that holds in the main spring roller at the bottom of the hammer had drifted out slightly not allowing the hammer to go only between half and full cock.
