USFA CSS / Re: Rodeo II deal?

Well Heck Abilene 
Maybe and perhaps you have just dodged a bullet (so to speak). Would be a major bummer to meet and greet to final the sale and THEN get the bad news about the caliber and price hike. Nice the seller is willing to honor the original price, but in light of the fact the guns would be "surplus to requirements" as soon as you got them home, better if fall apart now. Also important, when your laying out copious amounts of folding green, you get exactly what you want.

I think they just did a run a short time back, no clue when they will start production again.

« Last post by Abilene on Today at 02:06:31 PM »Well, the situation has changed. First of all, after having the guns at a recent swapmeet, the owner did some more investigating and discovered his price was low, so now they are $2600 for the pair. He told me he would still honor the original price to me, but the other thing is that I was mistaken about the caliber - they are not .38's, they are .44 Special. And while I love .44 Special, I already have a pair of Colt's which I don't shoot that much any more, plus several Uberti guns in that caliber, so I shall be passing on these. He is taking them to the SASS State match on Memorial day weekend, and if he doesn't sell there will take to a local shop for consignment.

The Winchester Model 1876 / Re: Best accuracy you have obtained from a Model 1876?
« Last post by Slamfire on Today at 01:34:15 PM »I do enjoy rereading older threads. Greyhawk, that is some very good shooting and i (myself) also shoot from the mag. as i think the powder placement (in loaded rounds) is more even verses single loading. It seems to make Extreme Spread more even and FPS closer.

USFA CSS / Re: 38/40 serial number
« Last post by King Medallion on Today at 01:24:07 PM »Looking around and found a pre-war 38/40, serial #113840. That should, from what I've been reading, be an all US parts gun?

Love the revolvers and the gun leather!
When I aquired my one and only S&W top break (a Uberti Russian Model) for use in conjunction with my GAF North-West Mounted Police impression (… and yes, the NWMP had some Russian Model revolvers, purchasing 30 of them in 1874 …) I ended up having to make myself another NWMP-pattern holster fo fit it, since it wouldn't properly fit in the holster I had previously made to fit my original NWMP-issue 1884 Mk II Enfield revolver.
My leatherwork is most definitley not as gorgeous as the works of art you have showcased, but I am satisfied with the end result, which is of the correct plain and functional service pattern …
Although I am admittedly neither as young nor as fit as NWMP personnel back in the day, it has been a fun impression to work up. Here is a frequently seen "patrol uniform" consisting of the cotton duck fatigue jacket and cap, worn in conjunction with the regulation yellow-striped uniform trousers and black riding boots.
The Mills-pattern belt I am wearing above is a re-creation I had made to represent one of 200 such "olive green" belts acquired by the Force from the U.S, in 1885. This type of belt, which had loops for both revolver and rifle cartridges, is seen being worn in a few period photographs, but no original examples are known to have survived …
