Have them throw a dovetailed brass post front sight on it...
Pretty fascinated by the number of entries in newspapers throughout the country during the periods of roughly 1850 through 1870 of the Colt's revolver. Although a lot turned out to be nothing more than advertisements and auctions, in a lot of these auctions of people's property the only firearm...
Another engraved Colt Paterson at $2,000.00 with 2 days left to go. This is the fourth one I've seen within the last year up over the 2 grand mark. The seller doesn't think it is a Third Generation Signature Series Colt but how can it not be?
Any ideas?
I'm thinking about buying a Henry rifle since Henry Repeating Arms have finally chambered their Henry rifle in 45 Long Colt.

I have this reproduction paper cartridge box from1862 and I was thinking how would they carry this back in the 1850's and 60's for reloads. I tried to put it in my pocket of my jeans and It was pretty bulky and uncomfortable.
There is also a member here who has a journal written by his ancestor...
I bought this revolver last summer and had it defarbed and reblued by Hoof Hearted and he does an incredible job on these revolvers.

First range session I used an uncut hammer and at 25 yards, barrel resting on sand bags with a two hand hold, the Colt...
The thread on the '58 Remington had me searching through various forums to see how other people in other countries rate the various revolvers. Its more important to those guys overseas as there is less restrictions on black powder revolvers.
Here is some interesting stuff from across the...
I see Winchester's 1866 'Yellow Boy' I wonder if this one is also made by Miroku in Japan. Any comparisons and or opinions on the following reproductions of these great lever action rifles?

Does anyone know if someone is producing the old cone German silver front sight for the Uberti Remington?
A new front blade sight was added to the army version, the navy version kept the older German silver cone front sight.

Someone is eventually going to win this factory engraved and lettered Colt. I've seen it as high as $1,700.00 dollars and still the reserve not met. I've bid on it a few times and have given up.

Me and few buddies went out to shoot as I got my 1860 Army back. I installed a new hammer on it and cut the 'V" notch in the new hammer and wanted to get use to the new sight picture. All shots were taken a 25 yards, barrel resting on sand bags, two hand hold.
The first target is mine using...
I buddy of mine purchased a Cimarron SAA (Uberti) with an antique finish and wants it blued. How do you remove the new antique finishes they put on revolvers? What product would be best to remove it and blue?
Notice this on the Taylor's & Company web site, pretty good to have around,

This is what mine looked like back in the 70's. I had the cylinder of course. :)

I replaced my hammer with a new one that I just cut a new 'V' notch in and went to the range over the last couple days. I wanted to experiment with my Colt to see where her range is in the loads she likes and dislikes. All targets are shot at 25 yards with the barrel resting on sandbags, two...
