  1. Ok, I have heard that Colt will re-roll the original markings on a 1911 as well when you get one that has seen a lot of action as US Property, but then I also heard that they were backed up and it would take 1 to 2 years to get anything back from them. Never been to the plant/offices and now that I recall I did see where I believe they turned over their parts department to either Midway or Brownell but I could be having a Joe Biden senior moment. But if you are saying that they repair it for free, with replacing the parts and service at no charge, then I am all in! Do I contact the service department first?
  2. Thanks to one and all. The pistol is one I got used from someone so not sure the lifetime warranty applies to the original buyer or to the gun, and I have never heard of a lifetime warranty on any Colt, so I will have to check the Colt site and the manuals of my new King Cobra and Python. Thanks for suggesting Peacemaker too I had forgotten about them.
  3. It’s for a New Frontier if there is a difference, though I don’t see why there would be. Looking for sources. Thanks in advance.
  4. So what was Star Wars first three movies then if not a shared story line? If you would rather stay home and watch TV, great! But I saw this film, and it went really quick for three hours, was entertaining throughout it and left ME AND MY WIFE wanting more. So we are both entitled to our opinions. Kevin Costner did a great job and I will see Chapter One again before Aug 16th when Chapter 2 comes out.
  5. Last on was Branded, the broken, reshaped saber gives it away.
  6. I won’t watch it again, thought I was going to see more history on how the bombs were made and less sex but it seems more about how many women he was screwing and poof the bombs are on a truck going to the airport. But to each his own.
  7. Saw the first one looking forward to the next 3 western movies! Support Costner financially as he is the only one producing them.
  8. As I said in my post, the movie “moves” and yes there are a long of story lines, it stands alone. I was left with wishing the next on would come sooner, will be seeing the next one in August! No different than the first 3 Star Wars trilogy, you were left each movie, waiting for the next one. It’s good people, go see it!
  9. This is no different than “series” like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Mission Impossible, etc. We are all starving for westerns! Don’t stop yourself because you think it is a series! Go see the movie! As said before support Costner needs to be financially supported to continue even more westerns! If not him who else is going to make westerns?
  10. I took a John Wayne commemorative 92 that was originally in 44-40 and had it “reamed” to allow me to shoot ..44 specials as that was my main cartridge. I could still shoot 4440 but the cartridge casing would bulge out more than normally wood and anybody reloading it could kill still put it in to reloading tool it size it and it was still work. Might want to think about your 4 poor Magnum might still be able to shoot the 4440s and again you would have to do a little more resizing to get the cartridge back to its shape for reloading food for thought.
  11. Thanks, I will, I believe I need a .44-40, saw Frank’s in a collection that Bill Koch had on exhibition once in West Palm Beach, but can’t remember for sure if it was a .44-40. You are right as well in doing an action job, I was talking about replacement parts. I don’t understand why your parts don’t match current Uberti parts?
  12. Haven’t had any replaced yet, but had a few removed battling cancer. Did get some stints put in from a couple of heart attacks. I remembered a post a while ago that was saying your Navy has no replacement parts for it. If I am wrong my bad. Enjoy your 66, and that Remington you beat me out of! I had wanted it as a souvenir relating to my Great Grandfather being kidnapped y the James gang and taking a bullet out of Frank James! Have to keep looking
  13. Saw it just now, and the 3 hours flew by! Loved the story, the locations and the music! Not as accurate firearms wise but that doesn’t bother me growing up with Winchester 92’s all over Hollywood! Can’t wait for Aug 16th for chapter 2!!! Do yourself a favor and go see it, my wife loved it too!
  14. I believe his son was trying to keep it going I bought some New Service parts from them 3-4 years ago.
  15. I have seen in other posts here that there are certain Navy Arms rifles even though made by Uberti, cannot use the newer Uberti rifle parts. I am sure that this will be elaborated on by people more knowledgeable than I as to the dates.
  16. Do everything Private Message here! Then you know you are dealing with the right person! Got took for $50 and then almost $500!
  17. I got it because I watched Wanted Dead or Alive when I was boy and now as an adult, was never planning on trying to shoot it for SASS. I am thinking of sending to Nat Kiowa Jones and have him trim it like he did to another one to make it more realistic.
  18. But the 3 dealers show that there is no stock for .44mag.
  19. And I checked Heritage’s website and it shows the rifles and mares leg. The used one I bought was the same price as the new ones are priced. I would still like to see Heritage offer the single action revolvers they used to offer, especially the .44mag.
  20. So if I understand what you said, Heritage will now be selling the 92 models that Rossi used to sell? And the Ranch Hand is also back in production?
  21. It isn’t! It has been posted elsewhere and I have been a victim of $50, and almost one for $525! It will help you sell to the right person and the buyer contact you specifically!
  22. Boy do I feel foolish I just responded to 2.5 year old post! Well if it’s old news it’s old news. And I think Phantom’ ok, but we just have our differences of opinion on certain topics. However I still and will miss all of the people posted! As I said I learned a lot. Unfortunately Big Ed passed on. I meant in outside of Tombstone and ordered two “Duke” style holsters for my son’s Colt Nebraska Commemoratives and then in Old Tucson Studios where he had opened a shop! I consider myself a big man at 6’1” but I had to look up to Big Ed! I remember the rest in your post from way past too. For those of you missing Phantom, he and I spar occasionally here on the Wire. He is back unless I got the wrong Phantom we do miss all of their wisdom! I learned a lot from the lot of them!
  23. You know it’s like art, it is only valued at what other people will pay for it and since there are a lot of people who value Colt Signature guns more than Uberti of the same model pistol or in this case rifle, they kind of are entitled to their opinion. I got you, you don’t value it hirer but don’t criticize the ones whe enjoy collecting 2nd & 3rd generation Colt pistols. I started with the 3rd gen Signature models assembled by the father of the man running Henry rifles and they were beautiful and well put together!! I sold those to afford the 2nd gen ones and then bought the cases and accessories( some Signature kits) to go with the 2nd gen pistols and other than the “signature” on the bullet mold or nipple wrench you can’t tell the difference! So I appreciate your opinion on there not being any difference between Ubertis and the “Colts” but if others disagree and do value them more, respect their opinion as well. I would love to get a Colt 1861 musket for my collection and to represent my great, great grandfather’s service in the 1st Ohio volunteer infantry, even though they supposedly used 1842 muskets. I am happy with the 2nd gen pistols I have and do value them more. They will be a legacy to my son and his heirs to follow
