Ruger Old Army 44 cal revolver

[DesG]

I went to the dealer today who had the mint condition 1858, the gun was very nice, but in my mind my heart was set on the Ruger.

I told him about the Ruger I'd been offered and how I didn't know what it's condition was like, so he pulled out his brand new, nu-shot Ruger from his safe and let me have a feel

I immediately put it to full cock and felt for play, it had exactly the same as the one I'd been looking at!!

So I politely declined his 1858 down, turned tail and bought the Ruger that started this thread!

I've now pulled it apart (couldn't do that in the shop!) and checked the bore and all the workings, and everything is in order

So I now have Ruger and can't wait to shoot it, just got to get a 457 ball mould now.

Thanks.

I can bring some 457 down on Wed morning and your wax if you can get there. (sorry just checked- 454!)
