[Sweeney]

Sometimes these things find you...

1858 Remington New Model Army.
Manufactured November 1864.
Cartouche; GP, Giles Porter Remington New Model and Pettengill Revolvers 1862-1875.

Nice bore too! (bad photo)

Now for some laser grips and magnaporting!

 

[ccm75]

I DO hope you are joking.................

Saw WTS recently on GunBoards; a neat Colt '61 Navy in .36 that had been converted to .38 short under patents of 1871 and 1873. Tempted, but not $2000 tempted.

Wow, that's awesome! Great condition too.

I think the Magnaporting is a good idea but the laser grips are over the top. I suggest something more subtle like a fiber optic front post or maybe mount one of those C-more optics.

This was sent to my friend's shop for a new hand spring by a dealer friend of his. It was part of an estate the dealer had purchased. Gunsmith told the dealer he had a friend interested, etc. and I got it for what the dealer payed plus the cost of repair.

Anybody want a Pietta replica?

I already starting milling the top strap for the reflex sight.

They certainly don't give 'em away.

WOW, and very funny. How about a picatinny rail

How much?

 

[40 caliber]

how about a bayo lug and magazine feed. it already has the pistol grip......, never mind, we know where that will go

Cerakote options? I think zombie green would look great once you stipple the backstrap.

Just a thought. I can loan you my Dremel if you need it.

I think I want to free float it first.

I'm turning down the cylinder to bisect the chambers to act as a cog to feed a belt. I figure the top strap will contain the cartridge pressure upon firing.

Thanks! I always do my stippling with 12g high brass and steel shot. Sooo much quicker than one dimple at a time.

being a purist in my collection of old pieces and although i played along and got a chuckle with the belt fed....... it's starting to actually trouble me. even joking about this....

sorry guys , i have to look away here.

that is a beautiful piece that would be the crown jewel in many collections

 

[1776]

The wife would ask if it was a door stop

 

[majspud]

Make a table lamp out of it?

Fear not, It's in good hands.

Here's a pic. Cap channel widened to a loading block, extractor added to side. Never seen one before. Evidently a "Mason Conversion".

[ISOTOX]

Have one that's been kicking around my safe for a million years that I want to have re-furbished, never enough time.

Well, you're half way there...
