Cimarron 1860 "McCulloch Colt" or antiquing a 1860 Army Uberti

[GYJ]

It's aged, the grips are supposed to be beat up.

BOUGHT ONE! Cimarron 1860 "McCulloch Colt" at a discount. No need to continue this post

I really like the Cimarron McCulloch Colt with factory antiquing, but Cimarron wants $694.

However Uberti wants the same pistol 1860 Army for $429!

$265 difference (Ouch!) and Uberti is talking about bringing an "all steel"?

A friend just paid me a wad of cash that he has owed me a long time and am tempted to use this "found money" and buy the Cimarron. Wife wants to buy the Cimarron.

I really like the Cimarron with the antique finish. I could get an Uberti, but don't know how hard it is to make it into one with antique finish?

Advice.

700 bucks seems like a lot! Does a guy on horseback deliver it in person to one's house?

Always found it a bit funny with the fake aging on the Cimarron guns, if you are reenacting or in that time period wouldn’t your gun look relatively new?

I’m with you, buy them new and age them with holster wear and time…
