1851 Navy .36 made by Pietta. It is finished pretty well inside and out, better than some by other makers that I have seen.

I bought this gun a few years ago. After I shot it awhile I started messing with it. The first thing I did was "antique" it. I removed the blueing and the finish on the stocks. Later on I cut a dovetail and put a fairly decent front sight on it and opened the notch in the hammer. The front sight is my copy of the front sight on Wild Bill's 1851 that is in the Cody Museum. Then I reshaped the trigger to more like the original. The factory nipples have been replaced with Slix Shot nipples.

The photos were taken before I did the work on the sight and the trigger.

It comes with a home-made loading stand and a kit to make paper cartridges (both 36 and 44).
