Yul Lose Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I bought this pair of Old Armies from a pard who’s trimming down his cap gun supply. He had Snake Oil George shorten the barrels to 3 1/4” and install solid brass sights. The hammers were lowered when he got them and doesn’t know who did them but they did a nice job. I bought Kirst Konversion cylinders in .45 Colt and have been using Cowboy .45 Special in them and really like them. I wanted to install blued Belt Mountain quick change base pin kits but they’re going out of business due to retirement and only had stainless kits left and I think they look real good on them. The previous owner also had some very nice engraving done and installed some beautiful grips. All in all I think they’re a pretty classy set of Old Armies and will be my new main match pistols. 21 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 They're pretty. But why road kill a great cap gun to make something that an old 3 screw Ruger would do better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can still be a cap gun very easily, no tools required. I just like the Old Army looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Ghost guns? I bought these without cap cylinders. They were lost sometime back. I tried to buy the frames and conversion cylinders separately but gunshop made me go through background check. They were on their books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I really can't remember the last time I shot any of my cap guns. I've got six fixed sight Old Army's, and with selling prices very seldom under a thousand dollars anymore, that's a lot of money to have tied up in something I never use. They should probably be going on the auction block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
