Well folks, here it is, straight out of one of USFA's old catalogs:
"The China Camp Cowboy Action Gun in our patented Silver Steel Competition Finish"
"Mr. Dennis Ming, 5 time world champion shootist, asked U. S. Fire-Arms, under the famous blue dome in Hartford, Conn., to help him make the gun he has searched for all these years. Dennis's many titles in cowboy action shooting makes him an authority."
As for the actual gun, USFA noted;
"Square notch rear sight, action job with crisp trigger. Gun certified for point of impact. Official armory target provided. The China Camp is a special gun for the advanced shooter, combining the historic details of yesterday with the modern honed precision of today."
As has been noted in earlier posts, the "Patented Silver Steel Competition Finish" was nothing more than a highly polished standard steel frame. That fancy title was a bit deceptive, leading one to believe that the finish was something more than it actually was. There were some presumptions at the time that the steel used, while not stainless, possessed some rust resistant properties. This was not true (I checked with USFA myself at the time).
The China Camp models used the bull's eye ejector on the cross pin frame.
Serial numbers were preceded with the letters "CC."
4&3/4", 5&1/2" and 7&1/2" barrel lengths were standard, other lengths optional.
.45 was the standard caliber, .41 Colt, .44, .38 S&W Special and .32 WCF were offered as optional.
Hard rubber grips were standard. Curiously, the catalog mentions other grips available (walnut, ivory, etc.) but specifies "2 piece grips."
