Original '51 conversion
« on: November 03, 2013, 01:32:18 PM »
A friend of mine recently got this old Colt. It is an original early rimfire conversion. He plans on cleaning it (just a little), tightening up the action and making a centerfire firing pin for light black powder loads only.

Ya gotta love the conversions, especially the '51 Navy conversions. I don't see many of those, mostly '60 Army and Remmy conversions. Nice grab! Maybe you can cheat him out of it!

HAH!! He always seems to best me in our trades, although I have come out ahead on a couple of occasions.
