How to disassemble the Colt style black powder revolver (with the wedge pin). 

Awesome! Thanks for checking out our video my friend! Happy shootin!

@yewzernayme9247 oh man what a bummer. Depending on where you live I know my local hardware store has gunsmithing screws (which are actually a different tpi than standard. So it may be as quick as going to your local Ace or True Value and checking there then just trying it or comparing to a screw you do have. Good luck my friend and enjoy the project. And as far as yours goes, as the mad hatter said, "we're ALL mad here 🤪 " 🤙

Nasty weather. Got down to 12° here the other day. Just a dusting of snow. Seeing on the weather that here on the coast we'll have very similar conditions to yours this weekend though. I think Inland is going to get a bunch of snow. Take care my friend, always great to hear from folks.

@@TheMaineiacguy just curious who's the maker of your revolver? mine's a peitta and has features of the 1851 and the 1860 combined

Oh no! Yeah most definitely have to stay on top of cleaning black powder firearms . Honestly I would start by getting your hands on some regular Teflon based Rem oil in a spray can and absolutely soak that thing and let it work into all the cracks and then start seeing if you can slowly work it loose. Normally you want to stay as far away from synthetic gun oils as you can with black powder but in an extreme case like yours where quite possibly rust has set in you've got to have something strong to break through it. That being said once you hopefully get everything separated and apart you definitely want to clean all the modern solvents off and then start over again with bore butter or something similar for black powder otherwise you run the risk of seizing everything out when you shoot it next and the black powder smoke and residue hits the synthetic oils. That's at least a good place to start. Best of luck. Let us know how it turns out.

You know, I'm not sure. I've always just referred to them as frame pins or arbors.

Take the screw out put it all back together put the screw back in

Provided that you have already removed the retaining screw it sounds to me (without being there) that you have a stuck wedge pin. There are a couple great videos on RU-vid on how to get that taken right care of. We have never done a video on it as I haven't as of yet encountered it. When you do get it out, and you WILL I definitely recommend you give that thing some bore butter when reinstalling it so she doesn't seize up on you again. Just be patient and get some direct force on the wedge itself so that you don't damage the revolver. As I said though, if you just look up how to get a stuck wedge pin out on an 1850 army revolver, you'll find one or two helpful videos here on RU-vid. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

They do make a conversion cylinder kit to fire I think it's 45 Long Colt for these, but you have to be sure to get the one specifically for Pedersolli since the cylinders are not interchangeable between manufacturers by what I've seen. Hope this helps.

@@TheMaineiacguy thanks

Why do you have to be a jerk! Don''t watch the video if you don't like it. This guy is simply trying to make a helpful video and I'm sure he doesn't need your negative comments. Maybe you should go back to school and learn some manners.
