Alpo Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 At the bottom of that cover it shows an article. Pre-Civil War Carbines. Taylor's Spencer and Cimarron's Texas Ranger. I know of the Spencer, but I had not heard of the Texas Ranger. Did a search. Currently Cimarron sells two guns they refer to as Texas Ranger. An 1873 Colt and an 1876 Winchester. Neither of these could be considered pre-Civil War. So what was Cimarron calling a Texas Ranger 18 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Thanks Joker. So this "pre civil War carbine" is actually post civil War by a good many years. You take a 1859 percussion - and yes, that would be pre-war - and then in 1869 you convert it to metallic cartridge, it is no longer pre-war.

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I have 5 or 6 years worth of SHOOT that I saved. If I remember correctly when they folded, several other magazines offered to honor their remain subscription. I think that how I started receiving TRUE WEST. Shoot was a really good publication, but narrowly aimed at CAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
