How in the world did old time designers do this without computers? All those parts mesh together to make an almost perfect machine, amazing!

the more I look inside my firearms, the more I'm impressed by Colt revolvers ... we need more videos on the Python!

I’m having issues with my Colt magnum carry and a light double action pull as well,as light primer strikes in double action. This helped me figure it out a little_ thank you for posting!

Great craftsmanship. Thanks for showing.

Nice video, but I suggest investing in some lighting, would of made the video much better..

WOW, there is alot more going on mechanically than I imagined inside this revolver!

Very Sweet Revolver Bro! Lots of little parts for sure! Thanks for Sharing, Very interesting!

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

turn of the century lockwork.. not the last century.. the one before. I really like mine. lots of fun to shoot. accurate and smooth.

I've taken apart many a Smith and Taurus, and even a Charter or two. Done a fair number of trigger jobs on Rugers. But I've only been brave/dumb enough to take apart one Colt revolver ever, an old Agent. I swear I like to never have found the little springs and shit that flew out when the side plate came off. I ended up working on that little bugger with it and my hands inside a gallon freezer bag so I didn't lose anything else, lol. Never again will I be brave enough or dumb enough to dig into a Colt, so more power to ya, man!

Wow--------very interesting.Thanks for sharing

- Interesting... isn´t it...? - Not really, I´m pretty bored.

...thanks for the look inside a classic Python...

Its exactly like a Colt New Service inside, but it has a separate spring loaded firing pin instead of a direct hammer striker. Dates back to 1898 - but the hammer safety was later (1909?) improvement. The barrels on the early guns look like they came off 1873 Peacemakers. The first 250 do not require FFL.

good series JW... I've changed the springs on my gp100 a couple of times, but don't think I would tackle that Colt !

Nice detailed good vid...

You may be the First to ever have the Balls to take their Colt Python apart for Guys like Me to See!

Pythons are a bit tricky at first. As a gunsmith, if you work on them enough. You get familiar with their action. The main concern is disrupting their timing. Have to be aware of that. That could ruin your day. :)

My 1975 Colt Python 1975 is making some rattle noise near the hammer is this normal?

Hey love the video there isn't much out there for the me mechanics on the python. I was contemplating building one mainly because of the price tag and it being next to impossible to get in Massachusetts and when you find on it has a "MA premium" slapped on the price. Would you reccomend a build? Or are parts milled differently than others for example a 1985 pythons inner is different from a 1986? Also where could you get a frame? Liked and subbed btw

Interesting bro but very cool.

Brave man.

Interesting! Are any of those parts interchangeable w/the Diamondback?

As much as I like my Python, My love is for vintage Smith's.

Hope you can put it back together. lol

Thanks

3 guys. Colt, Smith & Wesson.

Lot more going on in there than I would have thought.

really should be in HD

There is more inside that revolver then the average car, You can sure see that you really need to know what you are doing. Nice to see it, but have someone, other then me work on it. Good video. What do you think of the price of these now ? GONE NUTS !

The guy who founded Charter Arms worked for COLT for years so I would think Charter revolvers would be similar internally. He also worked for Ruger so Charter is probably an amalgamation of the two.

Good. Now show us how to put it all back together again

I've seen swiss watches that arent as busy as that

🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷👍👍

aw man what I gotta drop to get that baby off your hands lol

After watching this now I really won’t shoot mine if something in it brakes I’ll never be able to replace/repair it he’ll finding someone that’s capable of repairing a Colt Python is probably next to impossible In it’s self

LOL, those saying this compares in complexity to a "Swiss watch". I also watch mechanical watch repair videos and there is little comparison in complexity.
