Cholla Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I am looking for someone that has a reasonably complete replica 1870s-1880s US Cavalry uniform that would like to pose with a Cimarron replica Ainsworth or Nettleton Colt for an article I am putting together. I don't have the guns at this moment. I am working to get this together before the last minute. No pay but you might end up in Guns or American Handgunner if all goes as planned. Or, if you're shy, I could just use the uniform as a backdrop. PM me if you can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 What's that on your right hip? It appears to be a nickel single action in a civilian holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a blued Uberti in an 1880s army experimental holster made by Trailrider. Hyars a pic of it. Not sure why it looks nickeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cholla Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 5 hours ago, Utah Bob #35998 said: I’ll go start the car. You look great! Thanks to Injun Ryder I have a guy locally that has done enactments at the LBH and has the uniform. He is going to help me. I appreciate the offer. Now I need the guns to actually ship. I am being told they won't be in stock for months. According to the Stoeger/Uberti USA media rep, COVID took some of the top craftsmen at Uberti and the loss has devastated their entire production family emotionally and capacity-wise. I requested a LeMat in the height of COVID and after nine months I gave up. I requested a Cattleman 12 (12-shot .22) a year ago. No dice. I finally found a great used model with the 7 1/2" barrel on Gunsinternational Sunday. I requested an 1886 Winchester clone with 26" barrel in .45-70 from Uberti, Taylors, and Cimarron and none are in stock with no firm delivery date. So the article is on hold.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Took me eleven months to get my Uberti First Model American from Cimarron. 8", nickel plated in .45 Colt with checkered wood grips. It was worth the wait. Now, a message for Bob: See, if you come down here to bring a uniform you can run into a whole herd of SASS folks in our community. That alone would be worth the trip.
