My bud is selling most of his guns and I am listing them on GB for him. He had a couple of BP revolvers I thought I might want. One was a 36 Navy by Pietta. I bought that one. The second is a brass frame ASM 1860 Colt. I decided I didn't want it because I mistakenly thought it was Uberti and didn't want to deal with the short arbor problem.
So I just looked closer and it is an Army Sam Marco and after taking it apart the fit of the arbor is almost perfect. There is around a .015 miss alignment. So should I buy this gun also? I can get it for $200 if I want.
I have seen both shot before and they were properly cleaned after shooting. I saw him shoot the 36 after it had been stored loaded for a year. All 6 went off as they are supposed to. I paid him $250 for the 36 caliber. Here are a couple of pictures.
