I can’t imagine why these are not sold.

Nope. But I can tell you that many Indian trading posts across the southwest used Arbuckle crates in their construction. https://gunsmagazine.com/guns/premium-guns/

This might be connected to the once famous Arbuckle Brothers coffee and spice company. They offered these as a premium if a person sent in the correct amount of signatures that were printed on each one pound bag. In the late 1800s nine out of ten pounds of coffee shipping to the territory of Arizona were Arbuckle brands.

All your photos are of the right side. How about the left side?

This is hard to process. He was an inspiration and it just won’t be the same at Bordertown without him.

Btt

ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD! These are made from Mojave rattlesnakes I catch locally. The buckles are laced with real calf lace, not vinyl. Buckles are $50 plus shipping. The small buckles fit a 1.25” belt. The large buckles fit a 1.5” belt. The knife sheaths are $70 each plus shipping. The small sheath fits a 5” knife. The 5" sheath is sold. The large sheaths fit a 7” knife. Please ask questions and don’t assume. I take PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, checks, and money orders.

I don’t know how far Central Indiana is, but six years ago I used to shoot at Pine Ridge Regulators near Brazil. @Cannon and @Dough Slinger shot there and were always tops. If they are still shooting, learn from them.

Maybe that’s why I can’t find one!

I read Uberti briefly made a copy of the Colt Root revolver. I did a search and they appear to be harder to find than the originals. Do any of you have one?

I would say it should be fine as I would not consider it to be sporterized. Sporterized generally means adapted to hunting use. It has the profile of an authentic carbine so in my eyes, it fits the bill. The CMP has Krags that they have received from Legion halls in exchange for Garands but they are often of dubious quality and originality. And they are significantly higher in cost.

From what I can find, this was for volunteers. I reserve the right to be wrong. https://milkcreek.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1688

Yellowstone National Park has huge signs warning not to approach wildlife and don’t stray off the boardwalk around thermal features. The rangers constantly warn visitors to follow the rules. The brochures they give visitors has the rules in multiple languages. Yet, every year people want to pet the fluffy cows, get selfies with elk and grizzly bears, and accidentally fall into boiling water. No amount of stickies is going to prevent people from doing unwise acts. Be honest. Who actually reads the stickies? It’s obvious from comments here and other forums, the answer is no one.

My guess is that it’s someone’s cobbled together flintlock to take advantage of a primitive weapon deer season. The recoil pad kinda clinches it. Any rendezvous I ever went to outlawed modern items like the butt pad. Quite often there would be an inspection of the accoutrements inside the possibles bag and anything modern was counted against your score.

I saw a cased Paterson like Injun Ryder’s in Tombstone that was marked over $3k. They are not cheap anymore.
