Does anyone know if the 1860 Army revolvers sold by Cabela's are the Civilian (not cut for shoulder stock) or military (cut for shoulder stock) models?
Check out my website at www.bpstuffllc.com for blackpowder shooting supplies and custom finished and tuned cap and ball revolvers!

I think so, too.  "Tho I have heard that there WERE some (few) silly-vilian versions with the attachment for the stock, and a few Military versions that DIDN'T have the cut and screws.

The real difference is the gripframe.  The civilian version is all brass; the military backstrap is steel.

The one I had was cut for the shoulder stock.
