As others have noted, you are not taking care with your screwdriver work, you must have the full set of Screwdrivers so why not use them, it is no good talking about taking care and then, slipping and sliding with tips of the screwdrivers, but the instructional part of the video was ok, so thanks for uploading, but please take care of the guns, they are only on loan to you in your lifetime, then somebody else will carry on looking after them, so try and give them as good a start as you can.

Hi, along with other reader comments, I am giving you top notch review for this video. I just got an old Colt SAA first gen gun at auction and watching this makes me feel prepared to open it up. I can see on the pictures the trigger guard plate to frame is not flush, so I will need to look at it to see if the trigger spring screw is backed out or what, lol? Anyway big thanks for the detail on this!!!!
Despite the other petty comments about your use of screw drivers this video was a great help in replacing the hand spring assembly in my Uberti Cattleman. From what I could see you were pretty gentle in removing and replacing the screws and didn't see any marred heads on the screws or scratches on the frame. I'm adding your video to my favorites for future reference. Thanks again!
I have a Uberti Cattleman 2 with the retractable firing pin, might wanna convert it back to the original design. This video will come handy when my parts arrives!!! Thank you so much!
If you're taking apart an Uberti Cattleman, watch out. There's a pin and spring behind the cylinder hand that is accessed through a hole above the left backstrap screw on the back of the gun.
How do you properly tighten the cylinder pin latch, since it has screws on both sides. Two screwdrivers at once? I guess you'd need to put the gun in a vice to do that.
Is the barrel a different part or it is an integral part of the frame? Because in the air fun replica of the pistol it is a different part screwd and even it is well screwd it is slightly loose, still I am told that this is normal for an air gun.....
Can someone recommend the right screwdrivers for Uberti SAA. The slots in the screws are not as wide as the Colt. The Grace screwdrivers are too thick and do not full seat in the slot.
Without any additional details, I’m going to provide my best guess. If it’s an Italian clone, there’s a good chance it may have the longer, double notched cylinder base pin. This has two notches and is longer so that it can basically be over inserted and block the hammer from falling all the way. Try removing it, checking to see if there are two notches, and if so, reinsert it only to the first notch and see if that fixes the problem. If not, is there any mark at all on the primer? You may be getting light strikes which could be one - or all - of a couple different issues. Let me know if the cylinder pin solved it.
You can but I wouldn't recommend it. The problem will arise when you go to put it back together again. Likely the bolt will not want to reengage into the cylinder slot without some fuss. You're going to have to remove the base pin at some point anyway...so you might as well get yourself a base pin removal tool. Their not cheap but if you're going to own a Colt you'll want to avoid buggering up your base pin with a pliers or something. www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/handgun-tools/takedown-tools/colt-saa-base-pin-puller-prod10997.aspx If need be...you might want to use some penetrating oil to loosen the base pin...just make sure it's something that won't harm your finish or wood grips if you have them.
I found that if you push that cylinder pin in and use it as a safety, when the hammer Falls, it will Dent the notch preventing the pin from coming out. I had to disassemble my gun and use a punch to get the cylinder rod out and there is a little dent in there from the hammer pushing it forward. Now I have a tiny barrel-shaped coil spring and pin that I have no clue where they go and I don't see him dealing with it either.
For anyone reading this and having a sticking cylinder pin, you can get a special tool from brownells that is specifically designed to remove the cylinder pin.
@@tomcopeland7418 honestly it’s the best learning experience I’m sure a lot of people harped on him for it and now he learned something because he showed the world
Grace makes a set of Colt SSA screwdrivers. Right tool for the job.
Nice, concise and no music, good one.
Thanks, buddy! Nice, clean video. Just used it to replace my first bolt spring. 15 minutes and done. Appreciate it!
Great Tutorial - My Colt SSA had a jammed cylinder stuck - I did a total disassembly and fixed the problem.

Nice detail, thanks for sharing
Wow, good video but I wouldnt let you in the same room with my SAA unless I had duct tape on your hands to prevent you from holding a screwdriver!
I cringed every time the screwdriver slipped
Great video man.
Apparently there is a need for a video on how to use a screwdriver.
this channel is top I sent my friends to write to see this type of work
Legend has it the guns finish is completely stripped and it’s dropped $1,000 in value
If you're taking apart an Uberti Cattleman, watch out. There's a pin and spring behind the cylinder hand that is accessed through a hole above the left backstrap screw on the back of the gun.
Thank you. I was struggling for 30 minutes trying to get that pin in place.
"Use quality screwdrivers to avoid marring the finish" proceeds to drop tools all over gun....
literally the only thing i was thinking about.
Good information, thank you for sharing.
Is smashing it with a screwdriver required for disassembly?
How do you properly tighten the cylinder pin latch, since it has screws on both sides. Two screwdrivers at once? I guess you'd need to put the gun in a vice to do that.
make a video showing very closely every detail of the weapon every hole every screw
Is the barrel a different part or it is an integral part of the frame? Because in the air fun replica of the pistol it is a different part screwd and even it is well screwd it is slightly loose, still I am told that this is normal for an air gun.....

Lucky Gunsmithing, I badly need to know how to take off the loading gate, there seems to be no spring holding it closed and it keeps falling open.
Should be a small spring and screw.
The hammer on my grandpas isnt uh... fully.. hammering? It wont move far enough to strike. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

"Six bullets. More than enough to kill anything that moves."
Might want to start with the dude holding the screwdriver .
My pin is stuck and the cylinder wont come out, can I take it a part without taking out the cylinder

I have a base pin that is stuck so bad that I can't pull it out with channel locks- pin be damned! I will replace it, but how do I GET IT OUT?

Lol watched this to see how to get to the loading gate and he left it alone haha
Good video but be more careful with your screwdriver
People making fun of this guys screwdriver skills let’s be honest we all been there
Yeah but we learned before we showed those skills to the world.
@@tomcopeland7418 honestly it’s the best learning experience I’m sure a lot of people harped on him for it and now he learned something because he showed the world
good info but painful to watch screwdrivers sliding off the screws... cringe
Die Bratwurst, ist vergänglich so wie eine Welle im Meer, darum nie den Senf vergessen zur Bratwurst! !
I wanted to know and see this detail of the dog up close > hammer how to make it stronger how to have a stronger beat
I would not call this a 'field strip' .... you won't do this in the field . This is more like a detail strip .
Good Info! Thank you for sharing
