Noticed EMF had an ad in the new Chronicle advertising '75 Remingtons in both 7 1/2 and 5 1/2 inch barrels for $599 (list $750), and if you buy the matched pair they are going for $584 each. .45LC only. Made by Uberti.

Hard to go wrong with a NMA Charlie. As long as it index's and locks like it should, you'll have a nice shooter there.

I use 30-35 gr. of powder, a .454 ball ( rolled into a paper cartridge), then a Remington #10 percussion cap on my Pietta-made Remington- It's an absolute joy to shoot!

I use home-made paper cartridges in mine- makes loading very fast & easy! Here is the fantastic how-to article:

That would be the laser engraved Old West finish models, and EMF lists them on their website for $579.00 each. The blue 75's go for $435.00, but my dealer got me a better price on mine.

I am about to join SCORRS the "hard way" At the GFBJL, I bought a $10 raffle ticket from the Happy Trails Foundation, and much to my surprise (cuz I never win nothin') they drew my name for the prize:

A matched pair of "antiqued" 1875 Remingtions (which in the CC ad lists for $499.90 each)
and a set of holsters by Wil Ghormley worn by Brad Pitt in the new Jessie James movie.....

Ya could have knocked me over with a feather, and I told Old Top he could shoot 'em any time he wanted...since Remmies are his pistol of choice, except he shoots 44/40, and these are 45lc.

When I gets them I will post some pix...

a really lucky Curley

Way ta go, CC. Congratulations.

Can't wait to see those pictures!

Boy, it seems like a long time, this Tuesday I get to drive up and register the first of them 2 Remingtons. So, ten days after that I will be able to at least take a pix of the holsters and one of the guns in them.

I noticed on Will Ghormley's web page that he has had surgery on his thumbs. He has ostioarthritis from all that hand stitchin'. (Really can relate to the pain of arthritis.) I wish him well, and will more fully appreciate that set of holsters he made...
