It appears to have safety pins at the cylinder rear. I’ve owned three ASM revolvers and none have had safety pins. Based only on my experience, This is most likely Pietta or Uberti.

I really hope this doesn’t come back to bite the homeowner . It sounds like these idiots were trying to break in and the homeowner opened the door and shot one of them. Probably should have waited until they actually broke the door in. I wish the homeowner the best.

Beautiful!

One thing you need to check on to protect yourself. In my state a convicted felon cannot dwell in the same place where there is a firearm. I know the fed does not consider a black powder revolver a firearm. That is perfectly clear. What is not clear if the Texas judicial system considers it a...

Very nice, good work. I would be proud. I’m certain no one alive in the 18th century would have any issue with your gun.

If they are not concerned about short arbors why in the world would they care about the box? It does seem that better packaging would reduce damage caused by the shipping gorillas though.

Yes, my fourth grade reader “Singing Wheels”, Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, Disney’s “The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh”, the Civil War centennial, the Revolutionary War bi- centennial and a deep interest of history sealed my fate. My older brother started me down this path with my first...

Back in the 70’s, unless you had wads of money, your Dad was right!

Spent a few pleasant days working on an 1851 steel framed fantasy .44 made by ASM in 1998 that I recently acquired from a member here. It was a kit gun, in need of internal polishing however the fit, timing and lock up are fantastic. It needed milling marks dealt with, fixing a boogered front...

Ah… the circle is now complete young master. You’ve done well Pilgrim, go forth with blessings!

Beautiful! I know many like Permalyn but I’m not a fan. I prefer Track’s Original Oil Finish. Just my thought though…
