Boys I know she ain't pretty....

I'm probably the most opinionated one on here and don't mind sharing it. I like the cut of yours too. I even like the cut of Mikes even if he is the direct opposite of me.

My jib is two sheets to the wind.

I wonder how many are trying to figure out what a jib is.

Or that it only has two sheets.

 

[hawg]

Smaller ones do only have one.

I don't mess with jib's ...powered is the only way...

BPW,
that's a beauty! One of those in 45acp is on my someday list.

If smokeless she gets 9.3 or 9.5 unique.
Depends on which way the wind is blowung that day ;-)

9.5 Unique is my .45 Colt smokeless load, for my EL Patron. When I first got it I only used black, but have gone smokeless in that pistol. That seems to duplicate 40 grains of black in that pistol, velocity-wise.

So now I "need" one of them-thar Richards Conversion replicas to shoot black powder only in. Yes I know they are fine with smokeless. Yes I know that "Richards Conversion" is probably not technically specifically correct for what they are making, but you know what I mean.

Do those pistols have to go through a FFL?

I prefer a 8" barrel myself on a 1860 but once you get used to the 5.5" the 8" feels like a rifle!

I like the long barrels, but I've found 6" to be best, for me, for on the belt. The extra two inches or so really makes a difference when I sit on the ground, which I do a lot. The extra 1.&1/2 or two inches really increases the pogo-stick effect. One wouldn't think so, but they do.

 

[hawg]

I like long barrels up to 8 inches but 9 is too much. I've always been that way. I wish my 73 was 7 1/2 instead of 5.5 but beggars can't be choosers.

I can really feel the difference between a 61 Navy and a 60 Army. You wouldn't think that extra 1/2" would make a difference but it makes the Army wander for me while aiming where the Navy drops on target. I understand there is a slight weight difference between the two that contributes to a different feel, plus the larger Army grips which I don't care for. No complaints, glad to have both. I keep hearing about guys cutting the barrels on both to 6" and how much they like that length. So far I haven't reached for the hacksaw.

I made this one from a pietta 1860 and kirst parts.
So no , not if you make it

 

[Ugly Sauce]

But, if one purchases a Uberti Richard's conversion, it does?

The reason I cut my 1860 to 6" (or 6.25" or something like that I forget) was because the end of the barrel was damaged. Otherwise I would not have. But I did find I liked it, and now I have quite a few (not very many actually) single action revolvers that can all share one or two holsters. My two SBH's also have six-ish barrels, and they also fit in the same two holsters. So...I guess I've saved money on holsters. !

For sure, doesn't take much to change the personality of a pistol concerning barrel length.

I bought my ASM Richards from a guy in NJ, it had to be shipped from and to a FFL...

Oh oh...that's not so good news. If my dream came true, and I got one, I was planning to have it shipped directly to Jack, then to me. That would get really expensive in FFL fees. They charge an arm and a leg, and two toes now.

 

[hawg]

It does if it's a factory built gun because it was manufactured to use smokeless powder. If you convert one yourself you can ship it direct but you can't have the conversion cylinder in the same package.

Dang it. That really throws a big monkey wrench in the works. That sucks. Shatters my dream. Last modern gun I shipped cost $80.00 between the FLL fee and the cost of shipping. That would be $160.00 to go to Jack, and then to me. And probably a bunch of red tape or transaction denied if he is not the actual purchaser. If it went to me, then Jack, and then back again, that would be three times the damage. I don't have a money-bag that big.

If you buy the conversion kit and he converts it, then returns it to original configuration (except for the large capping groove on the right side of the frame) and then sends the parts back in separate packages you’ll be able to avoid all of that… just saying.

Yeah but the cylinder and ejector kit will run about 364 bucks and you lose a round.

Ship it in separate packages, if you use those postal priority boxes it's a fixed rate of around 10.00 bucks for the small ones and 19.00 for the medium. And they have insurance.

He can't ship a factory conversion like that.

 

[Jackrabbit1957]

Thought this was a black powder conversion set up. I can check with a local guy and see what he would charge to handle it.

 

[hawg]

He said he wanted a Uberti Richards. Those are factory made guns.
