Welcome to Colt Country Sooty Barrels!

I'm sure coming from The Remmie board, that you're a Remington fan. That's perfectly fine, we love all black powder guns here!

Good to have you here.

Thanks again, yes I am a big Remington fan I had eight at one time. I've downsized and only have three right now. I hate to admit this but I have never shot a Colt. Wait don't grab for that rope just yet, I am in the process of getting a Colt 1860 Army .44 a Uberti /Taylor's. My first Uberti all the others have been Piettas. One Spiller & Burr and a 51 Navy ASM both 36 cal. New in box, they seem to have gotten sold along the way.

Shoot man. No worries here. I have a Remington myself. I love the 1860. That’s a nice one👍  You already order it? I got my Remington from Taylor. Antique finish.. pricey but worth it!

Cool but you do know about the short arbor on Uberti's right?

No worries, I have eight myownself.

Believe me you, when you do get that Colt you're gonna see what all the fuss is about! The looks, the balance, the function. It's all there. But we'll let you tell us yourself once you get your paws on one!
And thanks for coming on over and welcome to camp! We're glad to have you here!

Glad you're getting a Colt, and you went straight for the best one! You can't go wrong with a 60 Army.

The highlighting didn't work and some of those sentences didn't get transferred when I figure this out I will have to try again.

Software is exactly the same as Remington forum. Did it work there?
