Bugler 72 Posted January 13, 2017 I have two 1860 Army revolvers (brass frame) that have stretched frames....one is a Pietta and the other a CVA. My real question is this....Will the barrel, cylinder and internal parts fit into a Uberti 1860 Army frame? I have a line on a steel Uberti frame.

Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 823 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) In my experience, Pietta barrels and cylinders will fit other Pietta frames, and Uberti barrels and cylinders will fit other Uberti frames. But the brands don't interchange. I have Pietta brass frames I would sell, if yer interested. CVA is an importer, not a manufacturer. Look on the gun for manufacturer marks.

Blue Wolf , SASS# 29424L 12 Posted January 13, 2017 I don't believe they will interchange. I have a Pietra steel frame and an ASM frame I would sell. No grips, barrell, cylinder, hammer, bolt, trigger, springs, trigger guard or back strap. If your interested. They have been drilled for a cap post and ruger hand conversion. But we're drilled bigger and alas just have extra holes. Doesn't interference with function. I got these in a trade some time back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noz 1,100 Posted January 13, 2017 I once tried to do the swap you are talking about and it did not work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 772 Posted January 13, 2017 Your best bet is to put the good parts on Ebay and just buy a new Pietta steel frame. They are on sale frequently at places like Cabelas. By the time you buy a frame and assemble one from parts you will probably spend more than a new one will cost.

Professor Marvel 3 Posted January 13, 2017 Bugler - if you are not interested in Blue Wolf's frames, I would like to be "next in line" :-) yhs prof marvel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fingers McGee 53 Posted January 13, 2017 You can pick up new Pietta frames from GunBroker.com. Type "Pietta frame" in the search box. Your CVA is probably an Armi San Marco; in which case you're out of luck. Fingers (Show Me MO smoke) McGee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
