You're welcome!

Did I ever show you my "Coffinmaker Special"?

  Wowzers Dave   

That be right COOL.  I am of course, some partial to "Short" guns and all the better when you build 'em yourself!!!  Super Fine.

I had intended at one time, to Bob a pair of Walkers.  Right up until I picked one up.  Was like dragging a garbage can around.  Those sucker are some HEAVY.  Decided not to pursue it. 

I'm thinking again . . . . . . . .

Here's a rare beauty.  Stainless Steel Allen/Uberti Navy Yank 1851 Sheriffs model .36 Cal with a 5 inch barrel made in 1983. Still NIB/NOS.

That is one REALLY REALLY nice 1851.  I could even overcome my dislike of Uberti for that one.

Project guns of my 1862 J.H. Dance & Brothers Navy were a 1976 Uberti Colt 1851 Navy (grip and frame assemby) and a C.O.M. 1862 Griswold & Gunnison (round barrel assembly & plain cylinder).
These parts were mated together after a new arbor had been fitted to the Uberti frame.
The dia of the hole in the C.O.M. cylinder is just bigger than the central hole of the Uberti cylinder.

Good job, LJW. That looks great. Very clean job. Thumbs up!

[Long Johns Wolf]

Thanks, Marshal Will Wingam.
I am at the receiver's end of the Dance.
This transformation was executed by my favorite Austrian smith.
Kudos to Karl Nedbal.

Another Uberti Colt 1851 Navy from 1970.
Transformed by the same Austrian smith last year into a Mississippi production 1862 Leech & Rigdon.
This job included the typical early pin & ball latch.

Thanks, MTB,
Had some talks with a leading Italian replica maker in Gardone, subsidiary of a leading global arms maker.
The management does not (any more?) seem to be interested in this kind of niche business.

My main match pair:  Pietta 1851s turned into Richards .38 Colt Conversions using Kirst Konverters and ejector rod assemblies.

[Kent Shootwell]

This Pietta got some action work then I touched up the contours of the receiver before doing a bone case coloring job to it. After playing with it for a year I gave it to a friend.
