Glad you got my point, I was not sure I made it in my text
If one was into NCOWS and was striving to level 3 or even Originals , one would not pair Guns of the 1890's to a early Indian war impression
for example.
As an example, I use a 73 Rifle with a Richards Conversion my persona is in the Mid 70's, I can also use my Henry but would not have a 92.
That not to say, someone, say a railroad guard in say 1894-5 might have a 92 and a BP frame Colt.
More that justifiable he might have the later cross pin Colt with that 92 ...just say'n'
