Fair point, but there's usually a premium for a rifled barrel.
Look at the SAA Colts.
I must be in a minority in not liking the mock worn finish on western guns. I much prefer an even paint job , whether black or silver. Preferably the former.
Are these available or are we still waiting for them in the UK?
It would be nice if they could eventually come up with a short barrelled version of the Schofield, and a 4.75 inch barrelled version of the Colt, the real gun slingers' gun as seen in so many classic westerns.
