Spare Cylinder For 1851 36 Caliber Pietta,September 22, 2008
By Kell750from Buckeye Lake Ohio
"I had thought about purchasing this cylinder for a long time but was hesitant when I read a couple of buyer reviews stating that it was thought the cylinder was too long for older Pietta's. As an experienced black powder pistol owner and shooter I would like to set the record straight on this. These cylinders are the exact specification for all Pietta made 1851 variants and fit perfectly in my MUCH older Pietta pistols whether they be brass frame or steel frame. If you are having trouble fitting one of these cylinders in your Pietta then most likely and probably more than anything there may be an issue with your pistol requiring some light gunsmithing. You have to remember that you are installing a brand new cylinder to what is usually an already broke in pistol and it will seem a little bit tight until you break the cylinder in by carefully cocking and uncocking (without dry firing) the cylinder for a few turns around. This was the case with my new cylinder as well and within a few minutes and a few turns it was a perfect fit. Potential buyers should know that these cylinders are intended for Pietta made pistols only and are not made to fit Colt pistols (or other makes) as they will indeed be too tight and long in a Colt pistol. If you are still worried about whether or not these will fit in your Pietta there's no need to worry as Cabella's will take back the cylinder with no problems or hassles of any kind. You will be hard pressed to find a quality cylinder complete with nipples for this price !!!"

Spare Cylinder,July 28, 2008
By 1800enthusiastfrom Annapolis, MD
"I read somewhere that the original cylinder for this gun was engraved with a naval battle scene. The gun I had purchased had a smooth cylinder, so I thought this would make an attractive show piece for when i display my pistol. I was a little disapointed that the engraving was not more pronounced. I also have not tried firing with the cylinder, but I am please that it was available for this price."

1851 navy cylinder,April 7, 2008
By fedguy415617from CIncinnati, OH
"I purchased this for an older Navy Arms repro, which I'm told was made by Pietta. Unfortunatley, the cylinder was a little too long for my pistol and was too tight to turn when reassembled. Shipping was quick, though and the return was quite easily handled."

Colt 1851 Navy spare cylinder,October 2, 2007
By Arkansasrebelfrom Sacramento, Calif.
"While I do not have any problem with the quality of the product, It doesn't work for me. I have a 2nd generation Colt whidh I shoot and this cylinder is too long and will not turn freely when installed. I also have an original '51 Navy and I tried this cylinder in it and it is even tighter when installed. I would really like to find a cylinder to fit my Colt and if anyone has a suggestion I would like to hear it."
