Hello to all. I purchased several years ago off the Guns America website a USPFA Omni-Potent Target revolver in .45 Colt caliber. As everyone knows the "P" signifies that Uberti parts were used in this generation of their revolvers. I checked the chamber throats & they were overlarge @ .454" compared to the barrel's groove diameter of .451", so in an effort to improve accuracy, I sent it to USFA to have a cylinder with .4525" chamber throats fitted. The new cylinder achieved the desired result. I still have the original cylinder & would like to make a deal with someone who can use it. It has the removable base pin bushing & no drag line. I just have to do some research to determine what this part is worth so I can ask a reasonable amount for it. Any suggestions as to where I might find info on its value are appreciated. jd45

What would you say, thanx for injecting a little perspective into the mix. My Omni is a hermafrodite, (sic?), in that it is actually a Bisley target married to an 1878 double-action grip frame, all blue as I understand the original targets were; 7-1/2" barrel, & because of the grip frame, decidedly uncomfortable to shoot, but accurate from a rest with a little electrical tape wrapped around the front sight blade to widen it cause it's way too narrow as it is for good accuracy, at least for my eyes. jd45
