'unnofficial Walker/Dragoon LRE club

[sackettboys]

From time to time while surfin' the web late at night, I come across interesting gun pics that I save. Here's a couple that I think you all will enjoy. Unfortunately I don't remember the websites I found them on. My nephew has a Uberti Walker and I would send them to him and ask him when is his Walker going to "grow up" and be like these.....

Many thanks for those images. I would appreciate you posting more info if you dig anything out.

Haven't gotten to my cable yet but I remembered earlier today that I'vd got lot's of pictures on 'PhotoBucket'. I don't remember my user name and password. I'vd got four large notebooks here that are buldging with e-mail addresses, dot org's, dot gov's and dot com's. Damned phone numbers and passwords scribbled all over the place and I have no idea this side of the hot place what 90% of them go to. I remember all my stuff is on there. I don't have a lot of different kind's of guns, just several of the few ones I carefully chose after much worrying. I'm picky as hell, and I couldn't afford to make a mistake or be caught short. I'vd only got one of the 1st Model though. (Uberti) I remember I'vd got 2 or 3 photographs of it on PhotoBucket. Well, I'll get it worked out.
My son and his wife are very interested in the LRE. They're paying for one of them and I'm paying for the other one as a kind of happy birthday, merry Christmas, congratulations on your retirement and hope a bear dosen't eat your ass up kind of present....

 

[NobleSniper]

I am very much looking forward to getting a LRE as well

 

[AussieTH]

Many thanks for the expressions of confidence guys - but let us get them here and working before we start thinking about buying or selling them.

Aye

There's a signature line in there somewhere, GOTC. That's just humor gold.

After BCRider's "Just like a dysfunctional family, eh?" remark, this is the second most funniest thing I have ever read on this forum. My ribs are hurting, and it's too early for that.

Here is the link to the photo I was trying to put up. It is of a Dragoon and an 1851 Navy.

Four days since the last post, just a BTT.

 

[madcratebuilder]

Nice looking 2nd gens.

 

[madcratebuilder]

Just to push this back to the top, here's a fluted Dragoon for your viewing enjoyment.

 

[Olmontanaboy]

That's a sharp looking horse pistol. Who is the manufacturer?

 

[madcratebuilder]

3rd gen Colt # F1743, 3rd Model Dragoon with Fluted cylinder and silver backstrap, about as fancy as a standard Dragoon gets. Almost to pretty to shoot.

 

[Olmontanaboy]

Almost to pretty to shoot.

Yeah, It's a beauty for sure.

 

[NobleSniper]

If I remember correct Colt only made (originally) either 12 or 15 of those fluted cylinder dragoons............ I havce a old Colt Blackpowder catalog that has a pic of one in it. Yours is the only one I have ever seen. Very nice !!!!

 

[madcratebuilder]

I have not found any build number information on the 3rd gens. I do know that this model was in production from 96 to 2000. Mine is a type 1 and is considered scarce, what ever that means. The type 2, same as the 1 but cut for a shoulder stock and considered very rare. I have never seen one.

 

[NobleSniper]

MCB, the numbers I gave were for the original 1800's Colt build. I do know that tha model is a rare one though. I never see them. Thanks for sharing a nice one

 

[bigbadgun]

I sure do like that fluted cylinder

 

[Das Jaeger]

Well Aussie ?

Hows your endevour going on this build , any proto-types built yet ?
So , once again , who is your barrel maker and where are the piccys ?
I wish I was retired and rich , I would love to build all this for free , would be a hoot . Have ya tried getting ahold of Pietta or Uberti with your ideas and explain your circumstance and see if they can help out ? Couldn't hurt

If your like me , your too busy .

Sorry... I can't take any blame... all I did was take Double Duece's link and offer it up as a viewable pic. I can only wish I belonged to those puppies.

 

[AussieTH]

Nien mein JagearFuhrer!

Kien namen und kien pic ach kein prototypes - so nicht to take pics of.

Should not be too long now. The gunsmith is a Canadian and has been building guns for over 20 years - came very highly recommended from gun circles around here. Currently operates out of Toowoomba Queensland.

sltm1 is still flogging on with the stock modifications so we are on track.

TmC 4232 did try Uberti and sent them the concept pics but did not get any replu at all. my local gun brokers all have a low opionion of UBerti communications and will not even forward requests even though they sell the guns and are usually out of stock.

As soon as I have something solid it will be straight on here!!!!

Aye

Tony

 

[Ratdog68]

Don't know whether it's of any help... "Benelli" is the US distributor of Uberti... they may have an in-road to the right people. Try [email protected]
