Sourdough, you can build a fantasy squareback Schneider & Glassick, too.
I can also build a fantasy Leech and Rigdon with a SB TG just by installing the G&G barrel (part octagon/part round) and plain cylinder on the Navy Second Model, which is my favorite as a pistol that I feel that Colt should have produced: the 1851 Navy Dragoon .36.
Well, I guess that is plausible if one can find a SB TG to fit the newer Pietta grip configuration for the G&G, and I know of no source. My Pietta 1851 Navy Second Model is based on the 2014 [CM] frame with the older "tail" grip configuration, the SB TG was a special order from Taylor's, and it took over two months to get it through Customs and other hoops. Other than that, one would have to use the backstrap, wood, and the SB TG from that (as a 3-piece "unit") to use with the G&G, OR find an older (pre-2015 [CN]) Pietta 1851 Navy .36 brasser with a plain cylinder for more "authenticity". My plain cylinder is from the G&G, used for both my S&G and L&R.
My intent for the project was to use only 3 pistols to create 5 somewhat historically correct 1851 Navy style .36 pistols (and 8 more fantasy pistols) by just swapping frames, barrels, and cylinders (no screws/screwdrivers needed).
I just took pics yesterday of my "motley" collection using my wife's phone camera (as my nice 10-year-old Olympus digital cam seems to have gone south a couple of weeks ago), and they are not of the best quality, but passable. I will post them here on a new thread in the next couple of days.
Oh puhleeze, don't give him any ideas.
Hawg, nothing like that. As next year's finances allow, I want to purchase a Pietta Dance & Brothers .44 pistol (which has no cut water-table and no rebated cylinder) and adapt it to a Pietta 1851 Navy .36 caliber barrel and cylinder. Kind of iffy, but it might just work with a bit of judicious attention to parts fit.
To the OP: sorry to have somewhat hijacked this thread. Some of us old-farts have a tendency to do that, all the while meaning to show options insofar as pistol choices are concerned.
Apologies, sir.
