  1. Hello all Wanted to give a shout out to Cimarron Firearms for being one of the great sponsors at this years EOT I won a Pistolero .38/.357 in the door prize drawing. It is a Uberti, full blue with a nickel trigger guard/back-strap, 4 3/4" barrel, a truly beautiful gun!! Shot it today and it is a smooth operating gun. The fit and finish on it great! Thank you Cimarron for your continued support of SASS and cowboy shooting. If any new shooters are looking for guns, Cimarron has some great stuff! Thanks again, Asa Smith For your viewing pleasure.....
  2. Unfortunately they do not show stock. Taylor's had one and was very good to deal with (as always). Thanks for the help, Asa
  3. Tucker I am emotionally attached to this gun and am hoping to keep it going for a while longer.... I will miss out this weekend unfortunately. If all else fails I will keep your offer in mind. Thanks for all the help. I ordered a new bolt assembly from Taylor's and will contact one of the gunsmiths suggested. Hopefully the new bolt assembly will work an i can get the original fixed for a backup. Thanks to all for the help! Asa
  4. Ordered a new bolt assembly from Taylor's. Planning on sending off the original for repair to have as backup... Thanks for the help Like the title says. The tab on the bottom of the bolt finally broke off on my trusty old 66'. I thought it was the extractor but when i disassembled it i found the tab gone. This gun has never been short stroked and has all factory internals. Looking for a factory part or info on available options. I would like to have the gun up and running as soon as i can.... Checking VTI and other options, just thought i would check here... Thanks for all helpful information, Asa PS: I have owned this gun since 2003 and bought it used, not sure of the date of manufacture but think this is considered the "old" design. Any helpful info appreciated... VTI is out of stock on the old (pre 2008) design bolt...
  5. Hello all, Does anyone know of a knowledgable gunsmith that is familiar with, and capable of, replacing the cam on the original hammer? The cam on the gun appears to be miscast and does not function as designed. On this gun and Ubertis the cam appears to be cast as part of the hammer. I am wanting to have a solution that allows me to retain the hammer that came with the gun. On my original manufactured 1863 sample the cam appears to be a separate hardened part that is pressed into place through a hole in the hammer. Any useful information appreciated... Thanks Asa
  6. I dug my 1860 Army conversions out and shot them, hadn't done that in years. I was reminded of the issue i encountered the first time i shot them. The firing pins are sharp and puncture the primers making them hard to cock on followup shots. (Tried different primers, same issue on all). My original has much wider pins that are more rounded. Question: Does anyone have a source for replacement pins? Or is there good info out there (Youtube or otherwise) on smoothing off the pins to prevent this from happening? Any useful information appreciated. Thanks Asa
  7. I trust you have received the check by now? Please contact me if you have any issues. Thanks again, Asa
  8. Picked up the brass from the mailbox this afternoon. Nice and clean and lots of extras in the bag of 50...9. Nice doing business with a true cowboy! Thanks again Asa
  9. Wow! This a smokin' deal for someone. If I didn't already have a plethora of open tops i would love these. FYI they did originally make a few of these in .38 center fire...(the early production models had navy size grip frames the later had army...
