This Kirst 2-Step Hand is specifically designed to improve the lock up of Uberti or Pietta percussion revolvers converted with Kirst Cartridge Konverter’s. It allows the 1860 Army, 1851 & 1861 Navy, (including the .45 caliber 1851 Navy Model), to function smoothly and more dependably than the factory-made hand. In addition, this Kirst hand spring is stronger and less apt to fail, which is common with the factory hands.
NOTE – Uberti 1860 Army owners: This product will also successfully solve problems with advancing and locking up the cylinder, which are inherit to all Uberti 1860 Army Model percussion revolvers made after 2015.
Ruger Old Army percussion cylinder
This Stainless Steel .44 caliber Cap & Ball cylinder is machined to the exact dimensions as the original “Old Army” cylinder. It is interchangeable with the original percussion cylinder in your Ruger Old Army® revolver, plus our cylinder comes complete with the threaded nipples installed. Like the original Percussion cylinder, we recommend using a .457″ diameter ball to achieve a better chamber mouth seal and improve accuracy.
These 6 stainless steel, replacement nipples are CNC machined in the USA by Kirst Konverter. They will fit the Ruger Old Army, Cap & Ball cylinder and are to be used with Black Powder loads only.
