I believe it was intended to assist the shooter in resting the back of the trigger guard on the middle finger when the muzzle was pointed upward. Once in that position, the thumb is used to hold the hammer spur back while the muzzle is thrown downward to level position for firing. In other...

The 25 round extension magazines that were made during WWI for the 1903 Springfield are usually available somewhere, but they run from $400.00 to $600.00 if you can find them. They simply lock into place after the floor plate is released and removed. The cover plate keeps the follower...

It's an 1851 NAVY Colt with a rebated cylinder of 44 caliber and a barrel of 44. Such a revolver never existed of course.

I was informed years ago that the 7mm Remington Magnum is actually the same cartridge as the old 7mm Newton but it has the belt. Maybe Remington "improved" it or didn't want the Newton name associated with their rifles or it was about Patent infringements?

Yes. I should have specified that I would leave the original finish on it.

If I had a Colt 2nd generation Dragoon, I'd probably leave it as is and just use the heck out of it.

Hombre, I like your idea of using the rounded end of the extension! I'll try that. I've used a small drift punch that I moved around as I tapped on it. Your idea is much better I think. I forgot to mention that I use a small honing stone to get everything smooth and uniform on the underside and...

I used the exact same method then. Peening over the old stamping, then lightly filing followed by a bit of emery cloth and oil.

Defarbing... Interesting. I never knew that there was a word for it. I found the technique I use to be very effective. I wonder how he did it? I'd like to see some of his work. Fred

John Zimmerman? I did a search and found him.

Every one of the original Walkers that I've seen pictures of had such a stamping. Like this example below posted earlier...

Hoppe's bore cleaner will remove Nicket finish.

Cee Zee, I really enjoyed your post! I'm going to have to go there some time soon. Fascinating information! Thanks! I saw on TV one time that the gold that is found in (West?) Virginia is almost 24 Carat. Wow. Fred

There's a lot of open land between here and the Pacific Ocean. A lot of it nobody wants. Most of it is actually without much in the way of development. There's Public land, Govt. land and there's Private land. The private land is fenced if there's livestock on it. There's a lot, (most) of land...

Snejdarek, I think that the right of people in my country to have pretty much as much ammunition as they want is taken for granted. Most of us here don't think about the restrictions that govern our brother firearms enthusiasts around the world. Funny, with all of the ammunition that my wife...

Big WOW...! Dang, could somebody help post pictures of this stuff? I'm Very interested in seeing those holsters and the Haas Walker! Thanks for the Very interesting post Ranger!

:):):) Man, I'd really enjoy seeing any photos of your Haas Walker!

I'd be interested in what happened because I was thinking of getting one of them.

Could you please post a link to that Walker at Cabellas in Allen Texas? I can't find it in their Gun Library. OK, I found it through a Google search. I think that it's Great as far as the markings go. I believe that whoever made it used a Uberti Cylinder. It has cylinder bolt holes that are...
