Didn't the older Uberti levers take different parts than the current ones? Even if true it's still a great deal but that would just be something to be aware of.

The brass on my G&G has lost a little of the high polish but it has by no means gotten the mellow look I like.

Here's a picture of my 2001 vintage '66 Carbine that I bought in 2003.  It has thousands of .44-40 BP, T7 and Pinnacle rounds through it.

I just got a 2017 Rock Island Auction catalog for $5 at a local gun shop. This is like a glossy coffee-table-book quality catalog, originally $40. It has several Confederate Revolvers pictured. Red Brass is a perfect name for the Confederate brass. It looks quite different from the mellow yellow brass on some old Colt's.


Ahhh! Red Brass! I remember it well. When I was in boot camp in 67, all the heating lines were red brass. Of course it was the job of us peons to polish it every night so it would be shiny and nice for the company commander in the morning. Those of you familiar with red brass know what happened of course. We were chewed out royal cut it had turned coal black by reveille!!

I'm just lazy.  The rifle pictured is a 44-40.  I have '66 carbines in .22 and .38 that don't have near the patina (or near the number of rounds through them).  But...........Polishing is so labor intensive.
