I just saw on Facebook that @Paladin Gun For Hire passed away on Saturday, July 12. I didn't know him well personally, but we had communicated some, and when I thought I was going to need to get out of the sport due to financial issues, he offered me a couple of revolvers at a price I could afford. I used them for quite awhile and still have them. I will appreciate them more now. I am sure that those who knew him will miss him. My condolences go out to his friends and family.

Well I agree you’re not anywhere near as good looking as Miss Flanell but don’t fret Blackwater we listen to ya! 🤠

It scared the daylights out of me, and I had never swam in the ocean. As an aside, I will argue that the USS Indianapolis scene is the single best piece of acting ever caught on film. It seemed Shaw stopped acting, and Dreyfuss and Scheider were mesmerized.

close to the same

Yep and considering whites are about 70% of the population this makes no sense! Now if they did STOLEN guns there’d be a totally different story!

Not much of a win but I guess it’s a start!

It actually costs more for a person to be on death row than life in prison with no paroles and no appeals. There are so many appeals for death row inmates and they stay in prison for 20 or more years. I’m all for the death penalty with one appeal, then, hang him at noon!

Oh yea, the lib states would definitely help out the ATF!

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
