    A few of my favorite black powder revolvers

    Photo show three of my favorite revolvers, top is Uberti Colt 1851 that I converted to fire 38 S&W, middle is the Uberti S&W Russianicon in 44 cal Russian very easy to reload and always accurate, bottom is a Uberti Colt 1861 that I also converted to fire 38 S&W.

    All of these revolvers will shoot black powder, as a matter of fact, the Colts are easy to take apart for cleaning. But, most of my pistol shooting is with indoor ranges, and smokeless Unique works better with hollow base bullets (for the Colts) indoors.

    The Uberti Colts were found at gun shows being incomplete and not in nice condition. I
    did make the ejector housings, recoil shields and loading gates. I had the cylinders from
    years ago and still have another cylinder should I find another junkerAttachment 86532

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Nice...certainly more honorable than leaving them in pieces at a gun show. I pick up guns too that others see as less than useful or past consideration and often it doesn't take much to restore them. A friend has two Schofield's in .44 S&W Russianicon also. One is his carry gun out on the ranch(for coyotes)...
