Does it have TA before the serial #. ?

Otto Pilot?

Yep your correct.

I didn’t notice it was a resurrected post

I believe Classic Cowgirls are also allowed short sleeves but Cowboys are not. I could be wrong though.

Btt

Yes - Uberti

Really? I can buy 350 rounds of .22 for 23.95 , I can’t reload my .38’s that cheap and factory .38’s are way more expensive, We have no trouble with timers hearing .22’s they can be adjusted and you just need to get the timer close enough for the rifle. Heck, some .38’s don’t always get picked up by the timer!

This is being sold solely as a shooter, and a fun one at that. It is one of the government's efforts to repurpose thousands of CW surplus rifled muskets. I believe Remington made around 10k of these by mating their rolling block action to 1863 Springfield barrels and buttstocks. It fires a short .58 CF round using standard .58 Minie bullets. Cases can be made by shortening 24 gauge Magtech brass shells. What wrecks the collector value of this particular example is that someone over sanded stocks and shellaced them. This causes the barrel bands to be a little loose. Creative ideas can alleviate this for shooting purposes. The 39" barrel has a shootable bore, but has pitting. Big lead bullets take this in stride. Action is tight. Needs a new extractor, as original is frozen in slot and a piece snapped off at some point when block was opened. Of course for fun shooting, empties could be knocked out with a range rod. These can be a hoot to shoot and cases easily reloaded at range with simple tools. $500 + Shipping.

Notice the date of my post. In 2016 I was paying $27/1000 for primers, .04 for a bullet and about 1.5 for powder. ($112/8lb jug of Red Dot). That was about less or same as a .22 at the time. Remember, I believe 22's disappeared for a while sometime back then. Unfortunately that statement wouldn't be true in today's market. .

Thank you Jack Slade!

Thank you Springfield Slim!

Hope i am not out of my lane, but this usually implies it will fit in a clone of the Walker Colt model.

What are you using for your current .45 Colt cowboy reloads? Most likely that will be appropriate for the open tops, as well. good luck, GJ

Mane & Tail - excellent & inexpensive. Good enough that my wife dropped her fancy brand. Doesn't smell of perfume when you sweat either.

Red Dot or American Select (same powder for all intents and purposes) is what I use for everything CAS. I have some HS-6 that I use for 44 mag & 9mm non-CAS loads, but only because I've had it for 30 years and I'm just using it up.

Forty Rod: my daughter gave me some shampoo that eliminates any leftover reddish and makes it all very white. It wasn't a real big deal but it didn't fade evenly and gave me just a touch of a skunk look, with semi-stripes! I blame the padding on my motorcycle helmets over the last 50 years. I'm sure many companies make it but mine is called Daddy-O, from the Lush store. The bottle reads "Stop blondes and grays from going brassy and get all hair colors bright and shiny with our purple shampoo". Hey, you brought it up! Just thought I'd help.

My google-fu is still powerful. 1.15" + .275" = 1.425" COAL

Folks showing up to shoot. I suppose we have all gotten away with it, but in days of yore, many shooing clubs had a requirement that one or more members vouch for a new shooter before they could be considered for membership. That was mostly, I suspect to be sure the individual knew at least the basics of shooting and safety. Considering that these days, many are raised without firearms experience, I would think some sort of basic orientation, and a bit more than basic handling and safety would be in order - even for .22, and any match be the simplest sort. Ramp up over time. Any multi gun discipline is expensive and has gotten more so over the decades. Someone showing up with all the expensive new gear, might just be a cause for alarm.

I would like to buy one piece of brass if possible? Let me know. 6

Each branch has a military ball (navy ball, army ball, etc) And it warms my heart to know that one branch will be having"Space Balls" from here on out
