Today I looked at an Italian .36 caliber Colt replica. It appears new and is in a beautiful wooden display box. Included are a flask, nipple wrench, and about a dozen round balls. I think I'll go back for it in the morning. The price is $250.

76 Cal.
Brass frame is OK in 36 cal. Not so much in 44.
I shot out two .36cal brassers and a .44
Everyone was saying that the brass is better now than it was in the 70s so I bought a new brasser and its already toast. you do you but I would not buy one for anything other than a wall hanger and I don't really do wall hangers.

All that? For $250? That's a steal.
Not a brass frame.
Oh yeah, I forgot to say the bullet (round ball) mold was included. I hope it's still there in the morning. I've been wanting a .36 and a .31 caliber revolver. I have several .44s.
I now have an actual pic of it. Yesterday I used someone else's pic and got called on it. Not by the person who's pic I used, but someone else objected.

I've had brassers before and have a new one now, I didn't load them with full steel frame loads and mine haven't been hammered (they don't stretch they get hammered, imprinting the back of the cylinder on the brass frame). None of mine have any problems because I kept my loads for .36 under 15 grains and loads for .44 under 20 grains.
For that price I'd go back now.
Please pick this up for me, I am happy to pay shipping and a value meal from McDonalds (kids).

I wonder why the rammer is off.
That's my picture he used. I have the rammer off because That's how I like to carry/shoot it. Idk if the rammer of the piece he is looking at is attached or not.
Edit--after rereading the OP, yes his is attached.

My post was not directed at your post. Probably wasn’t all that clear. Reacting to someone using another’s photograph. Apologize.

That's a great deal! Go buy it! I love my .36 Navy. Doesn't eat up a lot of lead or powder and very pleasant to shoot. Both of my boys learned to shoot a bp revolver with it.
You got a great deal, hope you enjoy it!
Oh and no need to stay off the net, someone is always going to get their nose bent out of shape over something no matter what we do. Heck you can make the comment that the sky is blue and someone will angrily argue with you that it's azure........ Just ignore em.
