Hi
Ive got a 1860 army on hold for me at a gunshop until my ticket comes back with the necessary variation.
I already have a 8" barrel and a 51/2" barrel version of this revolver, i like open top colts, of which the 8" was bought already nitro/shotgun primer converted, the smaller one was originally an 8" bp version until I chopped the barrel and shotgun primer converted it myself.
Now Ive been looking at what to do with the new gun when I get it, I need another 51/2" version so that I will have a matching pair for western shooting, but when searching the web found a couple of snubnose versions either factory made by Pietta particularly in France or homemade versions with various different barrel lengths and butt configuration which I really like the look of.
So this got me thinking of not only converting one down to snubbie size, but if iam the only one who likes to do his own gunsmithing or if anyone else has customised any of their revolvers.
cheers
Peter
