Today I looked at an Italian .36 caliber Colt replica. It appears new and is in a beautiful wooden display box. Included are a flask, nipple wrench, and about a dozen round balls. I think I'll go back for it in the morning. The price is $250.
Brass frame is OK in 36 cal. Not so much in 44.Today I looked at an Italian .36 caliber Colt replica. It appears new and is in a beautiful wooden display box. Included are a flask, nipple wrench, and about a dozen round balls. I think I'll go back for it in the morning. The price is $250.
All that? For $250? That's a steal.appears new and is in a beautiful wooden display box. Included are a flask, nipple wrench, and about a dozen round balls.
I've had brassers before and have a new one now, I didn't load them with full steel frame loads and mine haven't been hammered (they don't stretch they get hammered, imprinting the back of the cylinder on the brass frame). None of mine have any problems because I kept my loads for .36 under 15 grains and loads for .44 under 20 grains.I shot out two .36cal brassers and a .44
Everyone was saying that the brass is better now than it was in the 70s so I bought a new brasser and its already toast. you do you but I would not buy one for anything other than a wall hanger and I don't really do wall hangers.
For that price I'd go back now.Not a brass frame. I thought I took a pic, but my phone evidently didn't cooperate.

This is someone else's pic off of here but it looks like what I looked at. I'm pretty sure the box is arranged slightly different though, seems like there were a couple more small compartments. The one I found did not have the loading lever detached, because I unlatched it and pulled it down to look at the marking on the bottom of the barrel. Oh yeah, I forgot to say the bullet (round ball) mold was included. I hope it's still there in the morning. I've been wanting a .36 and a .31 caliber revolver. I have several .44s.
That's my picture he used. I have the rammer off because That's how I like to carry/shoot it. Idk if the rammer of the piece he is looking at is attached or not.I wonder why the rammer is off.

My post was not directed at your post. Probably wasn’t all that clear. Reacting to someone using another’s photograph. Apologize.? ok?
You got a great deal, hope you enjoy it!I now have it. Sorry for any problems this thread caused. I might need to just enjoy my guns and stay off the 'net.
