    Dragoon Repro Help

    This relica of a Colt 1848 2nd Model Dragoon has Italian proof marks. As Sourdough explained the only Italian makers of Dragoons were Armi san Marco (ASM) and Uberti. To the best of my knowledge only ASM made them in the 1960s already whereas Uberti did not start manufacturing these models...

    Repair rifling?

    You can have the barrel lined. The liner should have a rifling groove dia identical with the diameter the pistol left the factory with. If it is an Italian Colt 1860 replica the factory rifling groove dia would be .451", if it is a Belgian Centaure the rifling groove dia is .446". Long Johns Wolf
