Some odd balls ! Pics

[Alabama]

Howdee Yall ,
Newbee to the forum here , thought you might enjoy some of my rare-er reproductions in my collection that are seldome seen but fantastic arms indeed .

This one is the Target Model .44  " Rogers and Spencer "  I built up . It has a great color Paduk Wood set of grips I made . This hum-dinger is a tack driver ! 



Next is the overlooked too often " Spiller and Burr " in of course .36 Cal..... This one sports my custom Black Walnut grips . She is a sharp handlin revolver indeed    God save the South !!!!!! God help the Rabbits too , they run scared from this baby !


Just a samplin of some way overlooked fine firearms that certainly deserve some more interest . They certainly are extremely reliable and accurate arms to boot .

Enjoy,
Sincerely ,
Alabama

Great portraits of some lovely ladies well adorned.

[Alabama]

Well Hellgate , thank ya Sir ,
Lovely Ladies always need to be shown off I supposum 

Best thing about the Spiller and Burr , cylinder drops out easy like the Remingtons 58 Models . Haveing a flush mounted forcing cone to frame provides an amazing amount of " Bark " from this little beast when she goes bang . It is louder than my Walkers or Dragoons by far . 

Thanks again , Alabama

I wouldn't call 'em 'odd balls', but they probably shoot round balls just fine.  Nice lookin' guns.

You may be correct this time Dick Dastardly ,
about the revolvers not being odd-balls , but the owner sure is 
You got to admit you aint seen a Spiller and Burr on the fireing line much if at all have ya ?
Good thing I made my post Plural ( Odd Balls ) so not to confuse anyone that I was just talking about the revolvers in the pics and that I am normal or think that way , God forbid 
Oh yes , me and my " Revolver Possey " are far from being less than strange . 
I also think it sounded better as a topic title to go with " Odd Balls " rather than " Odd Conicals "  , kinda boring sounding ?? 
They just don't roll as well either ? 

Have you a great shiney sunny day to ya too today Mr. Dastardly ,
and thanks for the compliment .

Very Cool looking revolver you gots there Paladin UK , very cool . 
That's what mine will look like some year too am sure . You got some rounds through that baby !!!!! I bet it's smooth as silk now too , not that they don't come pretty nice as is . I don't know about yours , but mine will POP any cap ever made , it has the strongest hammer spring I ever felt in my life ? You don't even need to seat the caps ( but I do ) it will do it for ya .
Cool , very cool to see another one .

Alabammie - yep!

And now maybe some will understand better just why those guns have such stout springs!  Dependability!  It means a LOT when ya gotta use one of them pieces to save yer life! (God forbid)


PS - Did I mention how much I LOVE the S&B guns?

[Alabama]

Steel Horse Bailey ,

Yes Sir Ree , a stout spring aint a bad thing ! Good nipples are a good thing too to have too . Proper fitting nipples are even better , and no funnin around on either of those by the way . Especially for you serious Match Guys and Gals here . The S & B will sure fill that bill right up for surely , she is strong all the way around , massive frame , heavy duty loading lever , thick cylinder and barrel , she has it all . Best thing is it shoots sweet and points sweet too  And of course it looks great too . And its smaller than the standard size Colts and Remingtons which makes it mighty handy sized , especially for a field grade bunny hunter revolver . She's top notch for that job , trust me 

Sincerely, Alabama

PS. And yes , you did tell us how much you like the Spiller and Burr    Obviously as much as I do !!!!!
PSS .. I looked at your arsenal on PBucket , we could hold them off for months I bet between what you got and what I got 

[Dr. Bob]

Sheeeeesh!  This has turned into a Spiller & Burr love-fest!  It's almost embarrassing!   Well, I did say ALMOST!

[Steel Horse Bailey]

A Spiller & Burr love fest?

Well, I'd sure LOVE to have one!  That speaks volumes, 'cause in terms of handguns, I kinda live by the theory that the best handguns should always start with the number "4!"

             

[Alabama]

Spiller and Burr love-festival , okeedokkeee     

I guess if your guns are just tools to ya , then this would be an embarrasing kinda topic 
I would think from what little yall know of me and from what I have shared with the forum here it is obvious I LOVE my guns .
Yes , I sleep with them , fondle them , talk to them , shoot them , cuss them from time to time , and I even tuck them in at night with a prayer to God Almighty I am so fortunate to owne all of them too . Emmbarrasing ? Naw , that's just darned AWSOME behaviour !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
And yes , my Fiance' does know where she stands with my guns . But I will add , I know where I stand with hers too ! Hee hee hee 

Sincerely, Alabama

For you Spiller and Burr Lovebirds  ...
'Got an old S&B repro that desperately needs refinished - all of the bluing was stripped badly, and the trigger is way too light for safe shooting.

Any suggestions for someone you'd trust to clean one up and tune it? 

Suggestions welcome.

[Alabama]

How's about yourself Bead Swinger ?
Parts are easy to get and it aint any harder than a New Army , maybe even easier , smaller parts . Slap ina new sear and hand and everything else while your at it , you'll be good to go .
Who needs blueing anyway ,  Blueings for new guns ha ha .
Good luck and am sure womeone will chime in with relative facts, unlike mine .
