Kuhnhausen tech manual

Pretty sure it's just the SAA in that manual.

May be wrong, but that has been my understanding, not having laid hands upon a copy.

I was curious to know if this Kuhnhausen Colt single action technical manual has much repair data for revolvers such as 1851 or 1860 cap & ball models?
Or is it all 1873, 1877, etc?

Thx

No there is no repair info.

There is an overview of Colt and Remington large frame cap and ball and Colt cartridge conversion and model 1871/72

There are notes regarding open top proper function and how they should time, but really no repair info.

I would look for "Gunsmithing Guns of the Old West" and IIRC "Gunsmithing Guns of the New West.

It was authored by the late Dave Chicoine... and is now out of print.

They had repair info on 1877, 1878 and cap and ball revolvers.
