Yul Lose Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) I bought this pair of Old Army Buntlines from Prairie Dawg (sound familiar) a few years ago thinking that I’d either grow taller or my arms would grow longer and neither happened so they’ve been in the safe ever since I got them. I bought the R&D cylinders for them but never shot them. They’ll be shipped without the R&D cylinders, those will be shipped separately. I’ll include the two pairs of holsters. Rowdy Yates with Lee’s Gunsmithing built these many years ago for Filthy Lucer and the barrels are 12” long!!! Shooting a Josey Wales match with these will make you a legend. $4,200.00 delivered to your ranch. Edited July 16 by Yul Lose 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 They are nice guns, and YL did not point out that the barrels are tapered, so they are not as heavy as you might think. Heck of a lotta fun shootin' them gunfighter. And, yes, these were my Josey Wales "rifle-pistols" for many years. Too Much Fun! --Dawg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 If you buy these I’ll hook you up with the engraver that did my other set. Picture the Texas cattle brand engraving on these Buntlines!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pee Wee #15785 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Prairie Dawg how is the recoil in these compaired to a 1851 Navy? I have Arthritis in my hands and had to stop shoting my ROA's in matches. Full house loads hurt to much so went to Navies, would be nice to go back to ROA's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you shooting "full house" loads to hit a target 7 yds away? Load them off the gun, or get an extended rammer. 15-20gr of powder, and a .457 ball is all you need for a light, manageable load, that the wt. of the ROAs will soak up. If you want to put in a filler to get the ball closer to the mouth of the chamber, stick in a .450 or .455 Circle Fly Fiber wad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recoil is not too bad, cuz the guns are a little heavier than Navies. I used 25 grains FFFg, and a 457 round ball, and they shot pretty flat and true. I never had much trouble hitting long range pistol target matches. --Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
