Greetings My Dear CAS City Netizens
So, here comes Professor Marvels latest
brain fart actually active project
Sgt Schultz's Colt.
I am following in Major's and Coffinmakers footsteps...
but only making one.
I tried shooting gunfighter, one in each hand, several times, and discovered I do not have the attention span
to handle two pistoles
sultanaseously simultomeously at once. Oddly, however, I can shoot weakhand
almost as good as stronghand. SO, for the greater good and to keep from accidently discharging something
into my own anatomy I'll stick with one hand at a time.
Sargeant Shultz' Colt is not as nice as "Captain Schaeffer's" Colt, but more
cheaper affordable.
I can't seem to pry the 500-600 for the store bought model, but chanced across someone elses
crap "Colt 1851 .44 Marshall" pistol and extra barrel ( seperately ) used but virtual unshot and incredibley cheaply.
(did I mention I'm
cheap frugal?)
Nothing has yet been cut, but with the alternate barrel I can have both a 5" and a 3 1/2"
But before I cut, I thought I would ask , What is the opinion on the shorter snubby Colt barrel length?
the incorrect 4" like Pietta;s Schaffer replica
or the correct 3 1/2" ?
or somehting else?
Since I have 2 barrels the function of the lever doesn't matter so much.
I also need to decide which barrel to cut :-)
My first thought is to cut the Texas Star barrel - if one cuts at 3 1/2 or 3 3/8 the cut falls between the end of the engraving and the word CALIBRE
the decorative engraving on the top near the muzzle will get covered by a dovetail in any case.
