Considering the quantity of federal reserve notes created since that Trooper originally sold for $99, I think it's a bargain.
Think of it in term of gold. $35 oz back then and it's almost 3 ounces or $105. Today that same 3 oz would be overr $6,900. At less than $1k, that's not even half...
Blame Matthew Brady and other picturre takerrs of the era. Pop guns, prrop swords to make the man more ferocious and improves his military bearing. He can tell his children that he capturerd all those Rebels and that they were posing with him. Alternatively, he could say they all got drunk...
Congratulations. I have a lifetime membership with a club in Californiastan but have not been there for over a decade. The two-day commute is a killer.
The initial batch of MK III Troopers had poorly sintered (MIM) parts that fell apart. Colt did a better job with the later MK III Troopers.
I would buy it.
I thought Col. Mikah Jenkins' Palmetto Sharp Shooters were armed with the P53 Enfield. If that's N-SSA, you're lucky to be in a region that has them. They're not here in the Midwest (Coloradostan).
Two companies of the Palmetto Sharp Shooters were detached and fought alongside the Georgians...
I have a very bad case of soda pop budget and champagne taste. As much as I would want one, it's just not practical. P-08 has to be very clean to work and even if it is clean, the trigger is mushy (striker fired).
Thank you Woodnbow. Would you believe I have over 30 pages or raw material that could be incorporated (if there is ever a second edition). Paul Cheall shared this interview of Maj. Jim Land with me today. I have Maj. Land's autographed photo (got it when he was NRA Secretary)...
Early Apaches wore leather armor. I found out that it was the hump portion of the buffalo hide that was stretched, greased and held over a fire to harden it. They discarded armor as they moved to the SW but still used buffalo hide shields (deflect arrows and low veolocity bullets). Read about...
If it's like the original Colt Pythons, there is a spring/plunger that pushes it forward. I wonder if the hole in the sideplate wasn't drilled out enough, the plunger too long? It could be a simple fix.
