A while back I started a thread on the 1858 Sheriffs model I was trying to buy from Cabelas. Arcticap told me they had them in stock at the Cabelas near him in Hartford CT. So after several phone calls to the Cabelas near me if Ft Worth they had one shipped to me. They called this morning and said it had arrived so I drove the 30 miles to pick it up.
You now have to fill out paperwork almost like buying a smokeless powder gun. But at least they didn't call it in. And the real kicker was the guy that handled my transaction asked why I had this one shipped when they had two in stock at the store.
So I explained to him they are not listed on the website and that I had called the store twice asking about them. A correct answer and an updated website would have saved us all a lot of trouble.
Anyway here are a couple of pictures on a dark, rainy day. You guys know what they look like. And this gun has a dried oil finish that almost looks like varnish. I hope its not as hard to remove as Cosmoline.
If you look at my Sig Line I consider these to be the Model 10 of the black powder revolver world.
