So after years of saying I was going to pick up a BP revolver, I finally did. A Pietta 1851 Navy, steel framed, .36 cal. Got a nice sale price on it.
I will say that I really like the gun, it's a purdy piece, and feels good. The only issue I found is that the slots that the wedge fits into do not seem perfectly aligned. Google reveals that others have also experienced this.
The question then is... do I return this and get another, or do I take a verrrry careful file to the slots? It would appear that if I took off about 1mm from the forward surface of the inner slot everything would align properly.
Opinions welcome!
Thanks!
