I guess you could say I got my Taylor's Uberti 1858 Remington gated factory conversion in 45 Colt as a Christmas present! I found a local dealer to DROS it to me the day before Christmas. I got it as an author gun, and could not keep it as my FFL expired in October (before I got it). I had to get an FFL that would DROS it to me for a reasonable fee so I could keep it. Local guy just charged $35. It goes well with my Spencer and 1860 Henry, and my Uberti 1858 forged frame with R&D cylinder.
