Something new under the sun

[jojosdad]

I just found this 1851 Colt Navy with birdhead grips on GunsAmerica https://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976853240.htm
Wish I could spend the $$ to try it out as it looks like a great idea... wonder how hard it would be to fit the Thunderer grips to my 1851..hmmmm.

Interesting.

But, well, ugly. Just my opinion, worth exactly what you paid for it and no more.

 

[O.S.O.K.]

agree



It would've been worth the effort if they'd of shortened the barrel too... but it looks weird with the grips and the standard length barrel. What's the point?

Seems a shame to do that to something as attractive as that Colt.
Now if they'd done it to a Remington I could understand it.
