i `m probaby doing this in the wrong place, tell me if i am. i have several cap and ball replicas late 80`s early 90`s uberti`s 51 navy square back and 60 army never fired and remington new army and my very first gun a navy arms 51 navy purchased in 1981, never fired.
but last weekend at a local gun show purchased my first "genuine colts". two second generation revolvers, a 1851 navy square back and 1861 navy. both have original boxes and all paper work, never fired and still have the plastic ties on the hammers as came from the factory. the 51 was made in 1973. not sure yet about the 61. i`m happy about that and just wanted to bragg. it`s not easy trying to live the hoop-la for that after the fact that colt stopped bp production 8 years ago. maybe there will be a fourth generation. ha !
but for several years prior to now paid no attn. to guns. alot has changed since i did. like what happened to the huge selection of c&b replicas that used to be available from so many places like navy arms, cva and dixie gun works ? did black powder interest die ? it seems you can only get them now from uberti, and even they don`t have a huge selection. can anyone, will anyone fill me in ?
