Stainless rodeo?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Marshall Matt Dillon:
Thanks all,,,,,i have been arguing/discussing with a person on internet who was trying to convince me they have a pair of stainless rodeos they would sell me. Their pics looked nickel to me, but they swear,,.

Edit: Ah! I found my other thread where you guys answered this for me previously. I had lost it. I am not the internet guru i thought i was.  :-\ :)

Coffinmaker:

Along this line, I have gotten into several "Discussions" with sellers, elsewhere, whom were advertising Pietta "Marshal" series Cap Guns as "Stainless."  NOT

Just highly polished steel, then heat treated.  Looks like stainless but it IS NOT.  Pietta also now offer several different Cap Guns as "Old Silver" made the same way.  Really NICE guns.

Stay Safe Out There

Just polished, never heat treated past the original billets they were cut from.

Just guns in the white...nothing more.

USSFA wrote them up like this:
"The China Camp Cowboy Action Gun in our patented Silver Steel Competition Finish"

--- End quote ---

I saw one at a gun show years go. I swear that thing would start to darken just from being looked at (LOL).

The guy offering it for sale (and it was for a premium price) had some persuasion of polishing cloth in his back pocket, that he would take out every time you handed the bun back to him and joyfully polish on it while talking to the latest prospective buyer. The man behind the table swore it was "stainless steel". He claimed he just couldn't abide finger prints on his favorite revolver...which he was in fact willing to sell despite of it being his "favorite".

No matter how good the USFA guns eventually became, there was so much serious PT Barnum horse turds flying about right up to their demise ( and continues to this day) that it has always been tough to figure out who actually did build what and from where the parts came from.

If the last guns they built weren't so good, no one would care.   10 years on?  If you want a gun that will shoot every bit as good as a USFA just buy a Uberti or two :)   All recent Ubertis in 44 Special with 4 click hammer conversions.   3 new Ubertis will still cost you juts over 1/2 price what a single, nice US made USFA will cost you.  More PT Barnum.



Gun on the far left now wears Persinger's carved elephant ivory.  Ivory is worth more than the gun!  But the gun is good enough/shoots good enough that it deserves Persinger ivory in my book.   Big Horn sheep on the middle gun and Resin-S on the far right.  Not the way everyone would do it, but  the guns shoot.   And I like a decent set of grips.
