i've got an 1861 colt navy in .36, but it's got a flaw in the bore, right where the sight post hole was drilled. i don't know yet how this affects accuracy, but better safe than sorry, i suppose.
you guys would know best in here, but where can i get a replacement for a fair price?
right now the best(read: only) i've found is at dixie, for about 115. doesn't seem totally unreasonable on the face of it, aside from the fact that i can pick up a kit or new(depending on where i go) for as little as 200$US.
for reference, it's a euroarms replica(it also doesn't seem they make them anymore), in the mid-5000's serial number.
i'd rather not replace the barrel because of matching serial numbers all around, but if i had to, i can keep the original around.
it's replace it or have the barrel reamed out and turned into a smoothbore shot pistol.
