Cosmoline Naaw, I thought that to at the time, but it was rust. SOme moisture had gotten in somewhere along the line, possible bad cleaning after proofing?

Pohill It appears to have been unfired, except maybe proofing at the factory, no powder burns or scorching around nipples or on hammer.

Re: Articap The proof date is Cl in the little box, my list of proof dates goes only to 2009, so this paterson must be a recent build, and yes there was some black residue in the chambers.

While I had the cylinder off the pistol frame last evening, I discovered something interesting, if I cocked the hammer and released it by pulling the trigger, after about the third time I did this, the hammer locks up, can't cock it again. I was watching that rotating collar on the arbor that...

Sooo, last evening I was sitting in front of the boob tube, watching the political debate and playing with my Paterson. Decided to see how well that loading tool (wrench end) worked, so removed the barrel and cylinder and began removing the firing cones. The threads of the first cone was...

Re: Jim west, pa I purchased all my 66 upgrade parts from Pioneer gun works. Darn, Can't get my computer to copy the link this morning. Here's the address htpp:// shop pioneer gun works inc. they make short stroke links for the Henry, 66 and 1873, don't know about your rifle, never...

Great pistol Cosmoline. I have a fluted 1860 Army that is over 30 years old, and still shoots great. Have changed the springs, bolt stops, hands, numerous times in the past. I feed all my colt armies .454 round balls, except for my Walkers and dragoon which prefere .457's.

My 1866 is .45LC, I looove that rifle! A year ago I did some minor gunsmithing on it. I replaced the flat hammer spring with a twin coil spring gizmo from Pioneer gunworks. This rquired some minor filing under the hammer frame and reaming out the stock so it would fit over the springs...

My 1866 Winchester and Rossi Circuit Judge

Well, unfortunately that Volcanic pistol is a total fake. I bought it a couple years ago from a company that makes non-firing replicas (movie guns/stage props). That action does work on it, working the lever raises the cart. carrier block, cocks the hammer. It loads like a Henery rifle...

...and here is another one. My ruger oa, with r&d conversion cylinder for .45 colt

Here's my collection of pixie-dust burners.

CraigC I have a book "COLT single action, from Patersons to Peacemakers" by Dennis Adler. Got it from Amazon about two years ago. Has great pictures of original Colt's revolving cylinder Ring rifles. He was making these rifles before he began on his Patersons (of which there were numerous...

Jim, west pa Oooh, yea. I should have sold the .50 & .45 TC's and kept the Seneca and Patriot. Both of them were dead-on nail-drivers. Oh well, guess everyone is allowed to do something stupid every once in awhile.

reply to VA27 thanks, I am very curious on how this thing will shoot. Will have to order some .36 round balls, don't have any at the moment.

Hello, again. I've been busy the past few days so haven't had time to post here. Thanx for the information on the Paterson that several people posted for me. I've been googling the internet like crazy searching for any take-down inst. for the Paterson but haven't had any luck so far...

Hi, everyone! I'm a new poster though I have been lurking on this forum for a couple of months. Got my Colt Texas Paterson from Dixie GunWorks yesterday, the magic man in his brown delivery van dropped it on my front stoop. I was rather impressed with his pistol, hadn't seen a real live...
