Bullett Sass 19707 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Has anyone swapped the grips off an 1860 army for grips of 1851? These are Pietta guns. Thanks Bullett 19707 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Bullet, you have to swap the entire grip frame assembly. Trigger guard backstrap and grips. Yeah I have done it when my hands got bad , not hard but very pricey if you don't have the parts. Rafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Yep -- Just like Rafe said. I have over a dozen Pietta 1860 Armies. They all wear Pietta Navy grips. Some from Steel-framed guns. Some from Brass-framed guns. Some new, some old. As long as they are made by Pietta, they just screw right on. No gunsmithing required That's been my experience --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 There's always folks out there who like the opposite of what you do (Army vs. Navy). An add in the Classifieds may well find someone who wants to swap with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 PLUS ONE to Prairie Dawg and Abilene. I shoot about a dozen Pietta 1851s. They all wear 1860 Grips. You'll never guess with whom I traded Navy Grips for Army Grips. FORGOT: Yes you can swap between Pietta Navy and Army Grip "SETS" Be sure to swap for Trigger Guard, Back Strap AND Wood that were on a gun together. Much better/easier fit.
