Hey Rube
Listen Rube. Ya gotta be some more careful about spreading them Accolade's on Mike Bracket at Goonsgunworks. Swell his head much more an he won't be able to get thru his shop door Whilst a tad unconventional, Mike's work is absolutely top drawer.
A point worth mentioning about the 1871/72 Open Top as manufactured by Uberti. Unless Uberti had done something absolutely stupid, the Open Top is a Chameleon. The Open Top is available in Three different cartridges. .38Spl, 44 Spl, and 45 Colt. Once the Arbor Fit has been corrected, and a nice Action Job completed, with just minor fitting, ALL THREE cartridges can be shot on a singe frame just by changing out the Cylinders and Barrels. In the past, also available in ALL the popular barrel lengths and Taylor's also include a really neat SNUBBIE.
The Other Mike
Why thank you esteemed "Builder of Burial Boxes" for the compliments AND the new rattle in my head !!!
A "multi caliber" setup on a "mono-frame is genius and gives me ideas that I figured were pretty well easily kept at bay, but thanks to you sir, that thought is gaining space in my "bwain"!!!!!
Rube ! See what stuff like this starts ?!!!!
Thanks Rube!!!! I 'preciates ya both !!!!! Now, if I can just get my cute little "pug" nose past the door frame I think I can get in and get to work !!!!

Thank you for a fine review and sharing the history of the gun itself.
