Hi
1st post. I've been lurking for a few weeks now. I have always wanted an 1858 Remington. That was until I saw the Ruger Old Army. I've been saving my coins (hiding them from my daughters!) to treat myself to something fun. I'm a "long gun" guy/hunter that doesn't own anything else .... until tonight! Woohoo!! I picked up a new Ruger Old Army this evening. Satin S.S. with adjustable sights. I'm planning on getting the .45 conversion cylinder very soon. I have A LOT to learn but I know I can find it here. I am familiar with black powder rifles as I am a Thompson Center owner but I am as green as they come regarding BP revolvers. I'll be asking a lot of questions.
Thanks
Dave
