Has anyone converted their Walker with the Kirst Konverter to fire 45 Colts? I am starting to get the itch for a project like this on my Uberti after reading the new issue of Guns of the Old West. They did a great feature story about the guns of Lonesome Dove including the converted Walker...

Hey Poodleshooter.........that's an interesting handle you got there. How did you come about it? On Black Powder I still get mine at Bass Pro Shops in Mesa, Arizona. That is about the only place in the Phoenix area that I know of. Going to buy another 3 lbs today!!

Electric Factory, Where did you get the leather goods for the Walker if you don't mind my asking? Beautiful holster! Looks like the one old Gus in Lonesome Dove carried his Walker his Walker in. NICE set up and photograghy;)

I am really intrigued by the Chinese made Model 87 12 ga. lever gun and am curious as to reliability. For some reason I had not seen one before until a gun show this weekend. If nothing else I am attracted to the way the dang looks - it just looks MEAN as hell and I want one !!!!!:evil: Any...

Noblesniper, Now that you posted those clips, I will have to get my Lonesome Dove set out tonight and watch it again.:) This has to be one of the best westerns ever - along with Tombstone (the one with Kurt Russell) and Open Range. I don't think anyone else could have nailed the part of Gus...

Ratdog68 & BCRider, It is all relative to where you are for a period of time and to what you adjust to. I grew up in Houston, TX which must rank second behind Florida for humidity. My memories of Houston are of rain, cloudy days, fog, bugs, and humidity. Arizona does not have near the...

I am going to try to get out to the desert this Sunday and pop a few caps with the smoke wagon before our Arizona temps climb up to the 110 - 115's and hang there for the next 4 months. June has so far been unusually cool and this may be the last weekend before we slip into the Arizona Summer...

No one has posted anything in several days. Is the THR Walker club on summer vacation? Did you guys go somewhere and not tell me??????:eek:

Can't help you here in Arizona but the only place I know of to buy GOEX Black Powde is Bass Pro Shops. I just picked up 5 cans of FFg for the Walkers and .54 Hawken. Sooner or later, it will be "too dangerous" to sell.

Old Fuff, I guess you saw that the Walker #901 sold on Little John's Auction for $500. Someone got a super smokin' deal. Now that the auction excitement is over, the THR Walker community is "once again spinning in its greased grooves" (John Steinbeck)

I had all good intentions on bidding up to $1,000 for the 16 inch Walker but was at a business meeting away from my office computer.:mad: I tried to log on to my Blackberry to bid since I was preregistered with Little John's but waited too close to noon to do it. The auction site was asking me...

Old Fuff, This auction site can make a person go insane, blind, and broke in a hurry :eek: There are a couple of Winchester lever guns on there that I would love to have..........:(

Tony, Per your request, here are the 3 shoulder stocked Walkers that we know of for comparison: PHOTOSHOP CREATED WALKER LRE (REVERSED IMAGE - THIS IS WHY LOADING CUT OUT ON THIS SIDE) COLT FIREARMS WALKER MODIFIED BY COLT UBERTI THIRD MODEL DRAGOON MODIFIED (REVERSED...

Aussie, Not sure if it is a 1st, 2nd, or Signature Series but I think the serial number, #3648, may be part of the listing; Lot#52 8IV-8 WALKER #3648 If all of this is true from Little John, and I have no reason to doubt it, I would love to learn more from Colt about this project...

I received a response from Little John's Auction House as follows and this is really going to raise the stakes - it is a Colt rebarreled and stocked by Colt !!! I am not sure what "non-factory" means, unless they mean not a standard production run, but here is their complete response...
