Where did you get that awesome engraved frame?
Found that one on gunbroker. There's a seller on there that breaks these and sells them on ebay and GB. Seems like he does a good bit of business.

Is that a Pietta? I thought only Uberti ever made .44 Colt cylinders with full length flutes......? Maybe I was wrong? I seem to be making a near profession of that recently...

It's an ASM that was put together. I don't know who made the cylinder. it's a very smooth shooter.Is that a Pietta? I thought only Uberti ever made .44 Colt cylinders with full length flutes......? Maybe I was wrong? I seem to be making a near profession of that recently...
Should have read "breaks these up." How about "parts them out or splits them up?"

I bought a new Pietta '62 Police Barrel there to use on a Pietta '51 Navy to make a '61 sheriffs (5 1/2").
As Pietta doesn't use the correct small frame for its Colt Pocket models.

dickydalton - I have an ASM 1860 with the 8" barrel that has a full fluted cylinder. If your cylinder works well in the ASM frame, it may well also be by ASM.
Tommygunn - Uberti also made 1861 repros with full fluted .36 caliber cylinders.

Yup, I remember those 61s. I don't think they still make 'em, I'd love to get one. I have a fluted 1860 Colt.

I have a signature series Colt 1860 too.

Mine isn't a Signature series, it's just a plain Uberti 1860 with full flutes. I do have a Pietta 1860 Civil War Commemorative that has crossed sabres on the barrel, and on a non engraved smooth cylinder.
Yours is a nice looking revolver.

Thank You, Sir. It's a Commemorative also. Did you notice the blued frame?

No, but upon expanding the image I did. Nice!

Got a new .50 flintlock from The Gun Works yesterday. Balances nicely, 10" full octagon barrel but still only weighs 2 lbs, 1 oz.

Great lines and symmetry with your new pistol! Both the metal work and the wood stock look to be first rate. Thanks for sharing.
