Actually, I'm REALLY regretting not learning how to do pictures, cause it looks pretty spiffy. I took off the original finish from the stocks & used Min Wax Golden Pecan #245, followed by a few coats of their clear Polyurethane satin, sanding in between with 400 emery. The Pecan gives them a sorta-kinda walnut look. Really turned out well.
As far as barrel length goes it's 7-1/2"; .45 Colt caliber; and the rear sight notch has a square bottom, with a flattop front giving it a "partridge" sight picture, which helps accuracy over the earlier design "V" setup. AND, listen to this! When I bought the 1860 from Dixie Gun Works, I also bought a shoulder stock along with it. Trouble is the 1860 cylinder frame has holes on either side to help secure the stock to the gun. My USFA does not, all I've got is that knurled nut on the bottom of the grip frame to hold it, so I can't use it to steady the gun for longer shots.....might not be legal, anyway. jd45
