My little local gunshop has a Colt 1860 Army that might be for sale on Monday. Gun is mismatched, frame/barrel but the grip matches the frame. It is not obviously US marked. No cartouche on the grips, no US frame...if they even did that back then. There are some small inspection stamps...

IIRC Flinternick does defarb work.

Welcome....where at?

Send him a message and ask? I know that sounds crazy but it might work?

I think they cranked out a ton of Zouaves and brassers to take advantage of the CW and AWI 100/200 anniversaries. Yes I know they had ziltch to do with AWI but it was still a throwback gun.

This is so true. Look at the prices of a bog standard MN 91/30 refurb. the were bringing $500 for a while because lots of young guys played COD or some other first person shooter game with WW2 guns. Recently at my LGS I watched a young kid do a transfer on a Swiss K31 and an Italian M38...

just before the covid mess started, I bought a single shot percussion pistol at my LGS. $10. My best deal there was a TC "Hawken" for $80. Great bore but trigger was wonky. $10 at the gunsmith and it was GTG. Lots of gunshops/dealers won't mess with used BP stuff. Makes for great deals.

you will love that. I have one with the 5.5" barrel. A really neat little shooter.

Thanks for the response. I'm eyeing a couple on Midway's site right now. It's not much more to get one with wood grips instead of the plastic ones,

Need a price and a picture with your screen name and today's date on it. Otherwise a Mod will be along to lock it.

Not in person.

Where are they $350? Sold out at Midway.

Scammers usually don't take an MO or a bank(certified?) check.

Stan, I've always been hesitant to buy a brass frame gun.....gunshop wisdom told me they stretch out will kill me dead.:doh: What is your experience shooting .44 out of them?

Lolololo.....hahahaha. I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing because that is the dumbest thing I've heard someone do in while. I needed the laugh.

I cannot speak to the way an Italian factory does it but I do know how American companies will fill orders. If Home Depot, Menards etc orders a large # of products, they get a special run made. Doors, windows, faucets etc. get some lesser quality components in them. This is a known fact in...

Agreed!

Wow....CHAINFIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

The man asked you a question. He said nothing insulting or rude to you. Your response on that is way over the top. Are you trying to get the thread locked?
