I have perhaps a similar antique. My issue is not so much lack of parts, but I suspect the hammer and/or trigger are damaged, since it won't hold half or full cock. Presently disassembling it to figure out what is wrong. If you ever disassemble yours we should swap pix to help troubleshoot our...

Fascinating. It should be pointed out that the ASM Dragoon has a noticeably shorter front sight than the Uberti/Colt version (about 2/3 as high) so I suspect the ASM reproduction sight will shoot much better using the latter barrel. I have also obtained a Colt 2nd Gen barrel that I will use...

Funny thing - I did win this auction, and it turns out that the owner was none other than Johnny Bates, who with Mike Cumpston wrote the book "Percussion Revolvers", which mentions this ASM revolver as being one that he bought and had to do significant gunsmithing on to make it work correctly. I...

It will be installed on the Uberti - if the frame for the ASM had been available I might have tried to win the whole Dragoon, but to comply with fleaBay the seller did not list that piece. If I can get to an outdoor range I will test it, but that's a big if in California. Even so, it will be...

So thanks to a great deal of help from Ephraim Kibbey (thanks!!!) who pointed out an eBay auction for an ASM Dragoon with the sights that was being parted out, I obtained a barrel with the sights. Of course, it hath not yet arrived, but I thought I would ask and see if there is any interest out...

So, circling back to my original question, does anyone make these or could at least be enticed into making them?

Here are some threads that talk to this sight arrangement, also found on some special production 1860 Army revolvers as well. Note that a long time ago ASM produced a 3rd Dragoon that had the leaf sights. I did see one for sale on Gunbroker a few months or so back - I hesitated and someone else...

I have a 3rd Model Uberti that has the screws and the cut out at the bottom for a stock, but lacks the flip up rear sights that would have been dovetailed onto the barrel. I've found older threads here and on other forums that suggest that once upon a time there were manufacturers for these but...

You're right! I thought I was looking for a totally separate document, but it turns out that ST-HB-07-03-74 was superseded by the one you posted the link to, which I already had. Thanks all for helping to clarify this!

This: http://www.virginia1774.org/DIA-ST-HB-07-03-74.pdf The link is no longer active. Does anyone know where I can download a copy?

Ummmmm.... Talk about snatching an insult from the jaws of a compliment... My exceedingly mild "criticism" was purely intended constructively, not as a bad reflexion on either the work or its author. Did anybody, anybody at all bother to read the part where I said, and I quote, "Worth...

Got my copy, as well. Read it over a single day. Excellent! Very valuable book, just like the first one. My only minor criticism has to do with the "Precursors and Peers" chapter, which while fine struck me as off topic for the theme of this book. Not that it was bad information or anything...

"Mykeal has edited the material and formatted it for disc. It works fine in my computer but another person I showed it to couldn't get it to open. It still exists in nature but is a back -burner sort of thing." Yeah, kinda figured. Mostly posted just to let it be known that there are...

Interestingly, Amazon still lists this book and even claims that 2 are available. If it matters, I would certainly love to see this in print, even if it were twice the listed price. The first book was invaluable; I can only imagine how useful this one would be. I definately stand by my review...
