Cased 1860 Army with Shoulder Stock

[sourdough]

It took me quite a while to put this set together, but I really like it.

Armi San Marco Colt 1860 Army (date code BC/1993) 4-screw frame cut for shoulder stock with an Uberti full-fluted cylinder, ASM spare round engraved cylinder, Pietta Colt Type 3 shoulder stock (with some nice wood!), Colt type powder flask, Colt type 2-cavity (ball and conical) bullet mould, Colt type L-shaped nipple wrench, Eley cap tin (pillbox), and an English-style fitted case.



I have not shot it much with the stock; interesting to do so (I have GOOD eye protection!) and keep my off hand behind the cylinder:



Regards,

Jim

That’s a beauty! Well done! ASM and Uberti both have the form and dimensions right. It’s particularly noticeable in the shapes of the loading levers.

Actually, truth be told, I initially thought this was listed “for sale”! I was already wondering how to explain it to Mrs. Woodnbow... *whew!*

Have no fear, at least for a long while, sir! Just don't tell the Mrs. you were even thinking about it. Works well for me... sometimes.

Remember that rib you were talking about for your 1860? How did that come out? If you had sent me a piece of it this 1860 might have become a donor "candidate".

She knows better... sadly for me... I did get the rib, but I don’t have a donor yet. Plus, I’ve got another 1860 project in the works so I don’t have the time and money for both projects. Shoot me a PM with your address and I’ll send you the half I don’t need!

btw, I found a copy of the 1970 Navy Arms catalog and our target model 1860 Army and 1861 Navy are in there!
