Doc Coles SASS 1188 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I am working on a restoration of an 1883 Colt Cavalry/Artillery model issued to the 7th cav in 1888. Some idiot nickel and gold plated it. They also engraved the cylinder, so I need to replace it. I am looking for a first generation cylinder from the 1880s or ca. 1900. Either one would be proper for an artillery model rebuilt for the Philippine Insurrection. I am looking for a cylinder in good mechanical condition, without rust or pitting. The notches need to be good, but the finish does not matter as it will be reblued as part of the restoration. I am looking in a number of places but thought I would ask here. Let me know if you have anything you think would fit the bill if you are willing to part with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Spade Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Go over to the colt forum http://www.coltforum.com and look up Bill Fuchs, Leveraction Bill. He does a lot of repair and restoration work on 1st gen colts and probably has what you are looking for. Jim Martin is also on that forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
