A quick thanks
Wow, this is quite a bit of info. Since I am at work right now, I will have to read it tonight at home. You really put some work into this. I use to have an 1851 Navy Colt (.44) about 20 years ago. I traded it for some work a guy did for me. I just last night, order another from Cabelas. I remember they are fun to shoot and I will print off your info, if that is ok with you, and will keep it close by.
The one I ordered was with the brass on it. I know that you said in one section that it was not the best, but since I have ordered it already, do you have any advice on that?
Again, I appreciate your knowledge on this subject.
