Greetings!
Yes... Lo, the Bubba. People sometimes do strange things to old firearms. I have a Colt's 1902
Philippine Model DAA .45 that I acquired VERY cheaply; it had been the victim of the "$10 Buffing-
Wheel ReBlue". Most of the stampings are smeared, but present; a little "pepper" in the bore, but
not bad. In other words, a "Clear Conscience Shooter". It came with a 'cowboy' holster. I made up
some BP .45C cartridges, and it shoots really well! Dad suggested that I "pack it around" to wear
off some of the reblue...! I have subsequently become a Colt's 1878 DAA Fan.
My IDEAL British revolver for Expedition would be a Webley No. 1 chambered for the .577 Boxer
Revolver Ctg.; personally, I'd have kittens if Uberti would bring out the C & B version! Dream on,
huh?!
I would also love an Uberti 1873 Infantry Rifle, .44WCF, but that's not likely to come my way,
either; nonetheless, YOU did very well with yours! Bravo!
