‘UNOFFICIAL’ THR WALKER/DRAGOON (LRE) LONG RANGE EXPRESS CLUB. Warning – big post. Bring coffee, sandwiches and a tent! I am taking a leaf from Scrat’s preceeding work but do not have his contacts so will probably be treading on toes here or there. Never mind – it is in a good cause...

Hi PM me please - there are things that I would like to discuss with you privately Aye Tony

Once in a while even a newbie gets a passing ‘score’. I took the wife to the club range yesterday for us to get some more qualifying shoots in. We fell in a with a club member who is on the Australian Shooting Team and leaving for the USA this week to some competition or other. So he was...

To tag along with Nobel Sniper’s thread on 1851 Navys I have some more specific questions. A ‘Buntline’ version was made in .44 with an oct/barrel 12” long. DGW are flogging them for $200 (brass framed though) and it is a good looking gun – but can anyone say what they are actually like in...

Hi Gang, I just wanted to take some time out to wish you all a really great day on a day that is so important to you all. Put in a real good one! Also to thank you for the help and friendship that I have been so freely given since joining these forums. It has been appreciated more than...

OK this probably looks like a "what a dummy" questions - please put it down to culture shock! I live a long way away from you dudes. Now the name is bandied around a lot as if were (and probably is) an accepted term that everyone recognises. But nobody has yet said exactly what it is...

I could appreciate a bit of advice please. My gun collecting is going well and I am looking a bit further afield – particularly towards flintlock handguns for both collecting and shooting. Could anyone recommend good sources of information on looking after these weapons, caring for them...

This is an opportunity to turn an old gun into real cash money. It is part of the Walker Long Range Express Project (LRE). This project is moving forwards now and the intention is to have the ‘carbine conversion’ available for any of the commonly available ‘Horse Pistols’. Most of the...

OK – last one. This is another one I like a lot – a bit more ornate but still ‘restrained’. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7434/p1070516a50.jpg http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/2088/p1070528a50.jpg http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/503/p1070531a.jpg...

Here we go again. I like this one. The Army’s are beaut guns anyway and this one is dressed up really well (for my tastes anyway). This has nothing to do with the Remington guns. Fred Remington was a noted Western artist and sculptor and this gun commemorates his work via the engraved...

I really like this one. It is ornate – but in a non-dominating and tasteful way. Photos again courtesy of Articap. The images are general views of the gun and case. http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/6595/p1070385a25.jpg http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/4436/p1070398a.jpg...

INTRODUCTION. Hi Sportsfans! All of the ‘Maybe Drool’ posts are of the start of my collecting efforts. All of the photos are by Arcticap who has been meticulous and careful of handling and inspecting the shipments on my behalf (notice the gloves he uses in the images). I could not have...

There is a hard core of members on these forums who so freely give of their hard won experience and advice. I have benefited from this and would like to be able to contribute at least something myself. As a result of my first really serious foray into BP and starting a collection, I have...

WTB. NIB (or very good condition) Cased set of Colt 1860 Armys – Cavalry Commemorative edition. This comprises – 2 x engraved 1860s, 1 x shoulder stock, various accessories. There are some currently on the auctions but are way overpriced. Please PM me if you have any leads. No overseas...

Hi, a week or so back a brilliant image was posted here of a c & b being fired at night. I cannot now find the image. Could anyone point me to it or post another copy. With the owner's permission, I would like to copy this down, enlarge it and print it out. The intention is to use it...

This is not directly about guns per se but is about an era that a lot of us are interested in. I have recently developed a strong interest in the CW in the States- prompted by the CSS Hunley, so I also got the Gettysburg film and really enjoyed it. But how good was it actually? I would...

This is on display at a gun broker that I frequent. It is not for sale (it is being swapped for an original Walker – so must be worth a fair pile of money. I am told it is a Smith & Wesson Schofield customised by the factory into a carbine with a fixed stock and extended barrel. Pretty...

Hi Sportsfans, Message mainly for Scrat. Here is a pic of MY Walker, taken yesterday. Plus a pic of my 3rd Model Dragoon. The photography is not the best but the best that I could do under the circumstances. Uberti Walker (Very dark almost black finish) Uberti 3rd model Dragoon...

Hi Rebus, In the Dragoon Rear Sight thread you put in a series of images. One of them was of a 3rd Model Dragoon with extended barrel and shoulder stock fitted. Where did this image come from and is it possible to get more information on this weapon? Any help greatly appreciated...

I decided to make a new thread for this so that we all stay focussed!!!:what: I am seeking original (or a good replica) of the folding leaf rear sight mounted on the 3rd Model Dragoon. I have struck out with both VTI and DGW who have none and neither do they have any suggestions. How...
