trigger guard issue Hey Crawdad, Craig and Fingers! Thanks for all the help and advice. I have been stewing on this for a few weeks since I did a refinish on the farby blonde wooden grips on my 1981 Euroarms Colt Navy. I was thinking of retiring it and getting a true Colt or Uberti and...

Hey Fellas, Thanks for the advice. I was going to just get a Uberti and be done with it, but unless you buy one from Cimmaron I think Dixie and everyone is sold-out. I have nothing against Cimmaron, but their 51' Navy has Fredricksburg Texas "Grafitti" on top of pistol from what I have seen...

Hello, I have been looking at getting a 2nd generation colt navy for shooting and reenacting, etc. I want a 2nd generation because I have read many good reviews about them but most of all are the period markings are correct and no "Black Powder Only" b.s. or Pietta and so on all over the...

Hey Jim, Thanks for your post. I'm kinda familiar with what you said, but the only gunsmithing knowledge I have is a 1969 Armi San Marco Walker I replaced and refitted a hand and spring for. I remember working on the "limb" of the bolt where it engages the hammer cam to make the action...

No. I bought the gun that way, but they are gorgeous, one-piece style solid elephant ivory! I only wear the gun for ceremonious events.

My Colts Here are pics of my Colt Collection. The makes and models go as follows: #1 Robert E. Lee Colt 1851 Navy, Cased Commemorative w/ ivory handles #2 1847 Walker, vintage 1969 Army San Marco, an old shooter #3 1848 1st Dragoon, Colt 2nd Generation #4 1860 Army .44, Colt Cavalry...

Hey Skinny, Thanks for the advice. It operates just as you say, but the only thing that concerns me is after the hammer is released from full cock and there is a small little click when the cylinder moves just a hair. I don't know if it is something I should correct or superficial in it's...

Hello Fellas, Just had some concerns with my new acquisition. I bought a fired once in box Colt 1st Model Dragoon, 2nd generation. Beautiful gun! According to the fellow I bought it from, He fired it once (three shots) when it was new, put it back in the box and stuck it in the gun safe...

I have been reading a few posts an have gotten a little confused about the Colt 2nd Gen. Armys wether they came in nickel finish as an option. I have heard many talk of stainless on these. I am a Civil War reenactor and would like to find a nickel finish one if they exist. I have a regular...

Hey Steven, Thanks for the compliment! Erik

Walker Pics!! Hey Gents, Finally got around to having the Misses take a few shots of me holding my ASM 1968 Walker. One image I have the pistol in a "still life" type on an 1830's table with period items of the 1840's familiar with U.S.M.R. during the Mexican War. The other is an image of me...

Yep! Sure enough. Took it apart and the bolt spring has a small fracture at end of the short finger. Probably just got old and brittle. Ill call Deer Creek Monday and order more stuff. They are very dependable folks, and had my parts to me in just a couple of days. I'll post photos soon...

need more help You gunsmith fellas out there please chime in. I got all the parts in I ordered from Deer Creek for my ASM 1968, the hand and springlooked pretty cookie-cutter and a lil' rough around edges. I took the old hand out and after further inspection, recovered the broken spring oiled...

new member Hello, Over the weekend I acquired my first Walker in trade for a few coins and nazi medal at the gun show. It is a ASM XXVI 1968 vintage and looks pretty nice. However, the action seemed a little sluggish and the cylinder does not always lock in at full cock, spining L & R...
