I'd love to have one of those ASM guns Em. But as you know, they're rare as an honest politician. I have the 1860 Army, my homemade conversion, and a 72 Open Top. An ASM Richards would fill out the collection nicely.

It doesn't have the hole for the ram, it's .38 Colt/special caliber, it has an octagonal barrel and a cone front sight. It even has the 1871,1872 patent dates.

It's a good one. Even if it's not quite right, it's still a good representation of the type, to fill the hole in the collection.

Maybe I'm starting to see things a little more like some of you do. It may not be historically correct but I kinda like the thing.

MikeNow Hawg, you know even Wild Bill finally put his Colt Navies away and moved on to cartridge guns. You're in good company.
