Being a tight-fisted old fart, I seldom invest almost a fiver in ANY gun magazine, and Gun Mart, I have to admit, is no exception to this general rule. What I do do, however, is read up their often usefully interesting write-ups on their website, and I've been known to make a usually ignored comment where I feel it was necessary.

This time, however, I'm not going to bother to make it there, but here instead.

Y'see, Anvil Conversions have taken an already very fine Uberti percussion revolver modelled on the Remington New Model Army of 1858, and, at great expense, have converted it into.........a percussion revolver.

Somebody here will tell me what a great leap in firearms technology this has been.

Personally, it reminds me of Blackadder's lackwit sidekick, Baldrick, and his aside about Mrs Miggins, who 'makes a giant pie, in the shape of a pie...'
