McCandless Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I can't find it in the specs. From those of you who have one. Do Pietta versions of the SAA have a removable cylinder bushing? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I think it depends on the model and year built IMHO . Rooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I asked the nice lady at EMF’s display last year. She said that the GW2 I was looking at had a bushing that was separate from the cylinder but it was a press fit. Not readily removable but it could be replaced if necessary.

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 PLUS ONE to PaleWolf Brunnell Additional: When I was still working, and encountered "stuck" or "press fit" bushing, I took them out and fit them correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCandless Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 I wanted to be sure because I am working on a web page and considering adding a video with side-by-side comparisons of Uberti and Pietta revolvers, where the narrator says that the Pietta does NOT have a removable bushing. I wanted to be sure, because many videos simply have false information. I'll not use that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Quote The Dakota II, introduced in 2010, features a matte black finish and antique brass backstrap and triggerguard. It does not have a separate, removable cylinder bushing. https://www.emf-company.com/store/pc/1873-Dakota-Revolvers-c292.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Redwood, I have a shop made punch that fits the bushing and goes thru the bore in the cylinder. I have a special block that supports the cylinder but has a large "drop" hole for the bushing to drop out into. I have a nicely weighted Ball/Peen hammer. I think you know what it's for McCandless, There are versions of Pietta that DO NOT have removable bushings. Their better guns do. I do not like nor recommend guns without the removable bushing.

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Warden Nope. I "personally" do not like rugers. I don't begin to claim they aren't good guns. I just don't like em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
