Rufus Calhoun Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I've had one for a number of years. Fun to shoot. Heavy enough to be a good hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Local gun store recently got a brace of cap and ball guns in from an estate. One of the guns was a LeMat. I did not fondle it but it was priced about $950ish. It sold in a week's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 If there was a conversion cylinder for the revolver part, I'd be hard pressed not to eventually obtain one. I'd leave the shotgun part unchanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Define what is weird about it. Is it actually converted to fire cartridges somehow? If so, do you wanna sell it? Or is it weird in some other non historical way? Pics would be nice.

Chancy Shot, SASS #67163 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Will Dunn, who left us this year, had one. His story was that he was at a farm sale and bid on a box of rusty revolver parts. Got it for $100. Took it home and started playing around with the parts and had a complete LaMat. He brought it out to show us one day. It looked its age, but who cares. I don't know if he ever shot it. Chancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Joker Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Under the latest Supreme Court ruling the fact that a lemat exists is historical interpretation they should be allowed to be manufactured with modern cartridge and shells in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdy Pardner Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I have one and it's a hoot to shoot. actually, I have read and seen pictures of a cartridge version they came out with in the 1800's but good luck finding one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Harris' character in the HBO series "Westworld" used one, but he loaded it with cartridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I have a friend who bought one year of more ago. He has bone cancer and recently got Parkinson's on top of that. He' going to die without ever having fired it He mentioned it last week and said it wasn't meant for him to fire, but he just wanted it for his collection. Turns out he has about twenty different CW handguns, all different and all but the LeMat are originals. I never even suspected he had them.
