I’ve never dealt with October Country but they look good.  I noticed that their .454 round balls are nearly five bucks cheaper per 100 than Hornady’s from Cabelas.

Those cased Paterson’s look good enough to take the plunge.  Bucks-up though - but mad pretty.

Sweet baby Christmas Jesus, that one in the case is awesome! I need that one!

Take another look Dave.    They are both cased sets and have the 5 spout flasks.   The flask alone is over $100.     The one for $450 looks like a good deal.

Hi, IMO it sounds too good to be true. The best gun deal ever? I suggest caution.

That's the one I was referring to Mike. I didn't even realize they were both cased. You're right about the flask. Even the crappy copies are well over $100. There's one on GB for $300 right now.

If I didn't have kids to buy Xmas presents for right now, I'd have that gun for $450.

I think Shotgun is gonna find an extra $450 somewhere.  He sounds too enthusiastic not to.

Just a thought.

Hi, A concern for getting the Replica Arms Paterson is the availability of parts. Parts for the Uberti Paterson are difficult, if not impossible, to find and even getting Pietta Paterson parts is becoming problematic.

The Replica Arms (Marietta Ohio) Paterson has a date code XX7/1971 and was probably made by either ASM or Uberti. VTI lists parts for both Uberti and Pietta Patersons.

Hi Jim, VTI may list them, but just try to order any Uberti Paterson part. Even the Pietta Paterson parts are scarce. I've had a Pietta Paterson cylinder on backorder for months.

You sound like you know me well G.

 I'm doing battle with myself right now, as to whether or not I should sell one of my 72 Open Top 45's. I have two of them, and they are easily obtainable. The Paterson is not. The only real thing holding me back is the damn nuisance of shipping a cartridge gun. Going through an FFl and paying them fees. Gives me fits. If I could find someone willing to do all that, I'd sell it today, and use the cash to get the Paterson.

That doesn't bother me too much Richard. It's not a gun that would see regular use, so I wouldn't be too concerned with parts breakage.

I know it isn’t a Paterson,  but The link to October Country shows a Belgian made Colt 1860,  extremely cheap ! 

[mike116]

A Euroarms Rodgers & Spencer cased set also appeared on the October Country website today.   It includes a spare cylinder,  powder flask, capper and nipple wrench.    Priced at $375 + $25 shipping it's a fair deal. 

[ShotgunDave]

Well like the saying goes, if ya snooze, ya lose. Both the Patersons are gone.

Maybe next time........

Hi Dave, sorry you missed out. Pietta is pretty good at answering questions on product availability. Suggest you email them and learn if Pietta intends on producing the Paterson again.

Very early in my marriage, my wife told me that timing is everything.
