Two more "conversions"

[CraigC]

The top gun is a new Cimarron "Tuco Special" in .45Colt. It's supposed to be representative of the gun that Tuco put together in the store in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". In actuality, it's very similar to the "Man With No Name" 1851 conversion in that it's not a conversion at all but is built on an Open top cartridge frame. It has an all brass 1860 grip frame with lanyard ring and a Leech & Rigdon style round barrel. Same type loading lever/ejector setup as well. I need to weigh it but it may be the lightest of the "conversion" replicas I've handled. I was very interested in this sixgun when I first saw them and watched Gunbroker for probably a year before they became available.

The bottom is a Cimarron 1860 Richards Type I .38Special. An early ASM gun and as close as the replica makers ever got to an 1861 Richards-Mason conversion. Seems to be pretty good but needs a little tuning.

Sweet! I can’t wait to see the leather rigs that you’re working on for these two.

Stay safe.

Nice CraigC!! I just finished a pair of "Man with no name" revolvers. This customer also has one of those .380 acp pocket pistols (its "fixed" now). First one of those I've handled.
I too am looking forward to seeing the leather these two will be wearing!!

Oooooooooo…. Purdy. Is the trigger guard and grip of the Richards steel? It looks kind of bronze in the pics. Awesome looking hoglegs.

Dang, I want that too! Very nice.
Added to the list of things to watch for.

If you're ever sellin'?, but I doubt it. LOL
