Slightly off topic and a somewhat long shot (??) Does anyone out there happen to have a Uberti Baby Dragoon squareback triggerguard they don't need? Uberti seem to have discontinued the Baby Dragoon and VTI no longer have the squareback triggerguards. Mine has a round guard but would like to fit...

Colt prototype replica This is absolutely fantastic news, someone building replicas of obscure collector pieces - that would be unobtainable in virtually any circumstance. I wish you all the luck, and hope there is sufficient interest in these revolvers that you can go on and build many...

Walker - reworked backstrap and grips Thanks Scrat.

Walker - reworked backstrap and grips Thanks for the comments guys. OK, the backstrap 'bulge'. I'll take some shots tonight and will post. Uberti's backstrap slopes down at quite an acute angle creating a much slimmer grip profile when looking at the gun side on. Original Walker profile was...

Waker - reworked backstrap and grips Hi All, OK, after a lot of work - and 3 sets of walnut grips later - my Walker is now finished. The replacement backstrap from Dixie Gunworks took a lot of filing and profiling as I was attempting to fit it to the frame without marking the colour case...

I've worked on a couple of Uberti Walker kits over some years and have tried all the various chemicals and formulas to blue, case harden and various wood preps. I've even tried charcoal bluing - with dire results! Without a heat controlled furnace it would seem near on impossible to...

Walker 1078 Hi All, Was browsing the net and found an interesting Walker auctioned some years ago. It is civilian model serial number 1078. It is advertised as the 'Thumb print' Walker. 'Possibly Sam Colt's own thumb print'. There are some pretty good photos of this gun and after enlarging a...

Just too add to this thread: As you all know, a Walker is heavy enough as a 44 cal. These 22 airguns had so much more steel left on the barrel it was incredibly heavy and difficult to hold aim with so much weight up front. The 'air' Remington Outlaw was a much easier gun to shoot.

Junkman. No it doesn't mention it was an airgun. I think the company are trying to sell it as a 'real' Walker that's been deactivated. If you check the back of the cylinder on the photos you'll see there are no percussion nipples - not even the milled out partitions for them. The frame has also...

Hi All, Some of you may find this quite interesting. About 8 or 9 years ago Armi San Marco and Uberti produced a range of their balckpowder revolvers as 'air' guns. A British company called Brocock had developed a rechargeable air cartridge. You would charge these with a pump not too dissimilar...

My Walker I've wanted a Colt 2nd Generation Walker for years but being based in the UK they rarely come up for sale - and getting one imported is asking for trouble with UK border control in this day and age of hand gun control. So, for the time being the Uberti will have to do. I'm not...

Hmm, no attachment appeared. Try again.

My Walker OK, here's my Walker. This was a Uberti kit I bought about 25 years ago. I've tinkered with it on and off but last March I decided to finish it. Took me a while to find someone to colour case harden the frame and loading lever but they did a nice job. The bluing was done by me. I've...
