All this was given to me as a gift from my brother.

These were given to me as a gift from my brother. One is a 2nd Gen Colt Navy .36 cal revolver, the other is an 1858 Remington New Model Army .45 Colt.

Nice.

Your Brother is a good man ! I'll trade you two of my brothers for him <G>

I see you are new to the forum. We love to discuss the first one, but that second modern one is not to be discussed here.

Thanks
O.R.

Does he want another brother?
Adopt me if you like!

 

[Whitworth]

Welcome aboard. A good brother is a gift from God

The second one is going to be converted back to .44 black powder with the cylinder I ordered from Taylor’s for 118.00 then I can shoot it without thinking there goes a buck fifty every time I pull the trigger. Lol. As it is a conversion from a BP it will be easy to convert back.

 

[OldRust]

I understand. I love the colts for nostalgia and they are fun to shoot but I lean to the Remington's for the more serious target shooting. But that's just my eyes. Others will disagree

Thanks
O.R.

Wolfman, I know this a no-no here and I sure do not want too insult your knowledge, I hope you understand not to shoot modern 45 colt cartridges in the conversion, please be careful.

 

[Wolfman0125]

It is actually chambered as .45 Colt, but I want to shoot black powder cartridges through it after I get the proper cylinder from Taylor’s.

Good on your brother !

Nice outfit, for sure.

 

[TGJaeger]

Wolfman,
You have a fine and generous brother!

The Remington is undeniably the better revolver, in strength and accuracy, but there is no better firearm design, ergonomically, than the Colt Navy. There was a reason that Bill Hickok carried a pair of those well after more modern cartridge pistols became available.

 

[appalichian hunter]

Wolfman, shoot me a P.M. about your quest I may be able to assist you in your quest.

I cannot express my joy for you

 

[Squatch84]

Great gift!

 

[JohnnieT]

Yeah, my brothers both suck...

 

[Flinty Scot]

No sibling rivalry here. Congratulation - on your brother and that kit!

 

[mushka]

I never thought much of my two brothers either, they both probably thought the same of me. One or both of them stole guns from me after I went into the army. actually my entire growing up family was negative. My dad hated guns.

The last thing my brother ever said was 'Hey, Chit for brains! You got that $20 you owe me?'
