It's an original Remington "New Army" .44 cap & ball revolver, and it's apparent that the previous owner was using it as a shooter.

Notice among other things, the home-made paper cartridges...

That one I would a bought...was in my price range and looked good to me.
I was late on that one.

 

[Old Fuff]

Well Darn!!

If I'd had any idea I would have told you a lot sooner! :banghead:

I happen to know the dealer that posted it, and I would have given him the word before any bids were received. In the unlikely event that the deal falls through I will send you a P.M.

[Smokin_Gun]

Thanks for the mention on it Fuff, hell really can't afford to ... but I probly would a anyways :O)
No worries Old Fuff...I got more than I can shoot already.

 

[Old Fuff]

Now wait a minute!!!!

I didn't say you could shoot it!!!!

You're beginning to sound like "The Gent."

 

[Smokin_Gun]

:O) ... well may I shoot it if I get it?

 

[scrat]

Id shoot it. make that a double HELL YA

 

[Smokin_Gun]

HeeeHeee! 8O)

 

[Old Fuff]

... well may I shoot it if I get it?

Oh gosh no!

It must be put in a fancy presentation box with a glass top. Each day you will have to clean the glass, and every two weeks take it out and lightly oil it down. Be sure you have white gloves on, as you may never actually touch the metal. Powder and lead must never touch the chambr walls...

The next explosion you hear will be "The Gent."

(By now the Old Fuff has headed for his bomb shelter... )

[Smokin_Gun]

LoL! Well ya know I could not do that Fuff...but I'd think a ya everytime i shot it... :O)

 

[Old Fuff]

Well the Old Fuff must strongly object to such an outrage. Shooting one of these treasurers should be outlawed!! They should spend their remaining days in honerable retirement. Never, ever would the Old Fuff lower himself to commit such an dispicable act.

S-U-R-E......

Is anybody looking!!! No? Good.

Well they're was this 1848 2nd. Model Dragoon, and an iron straped '51 Navy, and....

I like the Loading Station set-up the Shooting Box allows also.
