Mako,
Mine was built by ASM, rebuilt by me. Who built your? It has a nice business-like look to it.
Strawhat,
You must have missed where I said I had a Frankenstein ASM.
It's just like yours except in .38 Special. It was imported by Traditions and they sold it as an "1861 Conversion" I still have the box with the description and catalog number on it.
I call it a Frankenstein pistol because it is neither "fish nor fowl." It's not a Richards Type 1 because of the caliber, cylinder and lack of the projecting lip on the recoil shield ring. It isn't an 1861 Richards-Mason conversion because of the Army sized grip, the rebounding firing pin and the ring mounted sight a'la the Type 1.
The internal parts are already worn out and it's only had a couple thousands rounds through it. I bought some parts that were supposed to fit several years ago but the don't, so I shelved the rebuild until I got bored.
As you can see I take fairly good care of it it just ate itself up internally (primarily the hand, but the bolt as well) I'll just have to fabricate the parts r modify the ones I bought.
Regards,
Mako
