Hey Lyle. It's in Tombstone, AZ. Called Smoke Signals.....we sell guns and cigars.
Mick, sounds like a dream job. I’m so jealous 😁👍 I can’t find any LGS that has open top or RM conversions where I live. I’ll bet your store has at least one or two of each.

We get them....though not as many as we'd like. Cimarron and Davidson's call us whenever they get them or any BP, they know we'll take whatever they have. We just got 2 78 Coach guns in last week, they both sold in 3 days. Open Tops and conversions usually go that fast too.

Since we get people from all over the world, it makes it fun to show them off. Many have never even held a gun before, so it's an education for them.

We do sell a ton of cigars too.....it's surprising. A slower day we'll move about $1000 or more. Honestly, that's the money maker for the store. New guns we barely break even on....used we do just a little better, so the cigars keep us going. Now if we could just sell dancing girls and booze it would be a lot more fun!

I remember seeing it last time I was in Tombstone. Next time I'll stop in and say "Hi". Can't say when that will be, though.

Do you sell the components to make the Black Powder pistols work?

We'd like to get there this year but time will tell. I'll definitely let you know when we are headed your way.

I bought the navy today. I still haven’t gotten  a photo hosting site.
I will work on that soon so I can post pics.

AR. If you have an email address. Take photo with your phone and forward to your email. When your phone asks what size select medium size then send. Then retrieve the smaller photo from your email and place on your desktop and import your photo from the desktop to the thread. Assuming you are using a computer that is 👍 can’t wait to see it my friend,

Zilch I only have an IPhone. I just started a Flickr account. I’ve learned to get the photos there but not get them from Flickr to here.

AR. I use an iPhone as well. I access my email from the iPhone and save the smaller photo back into my pictures on the iPhone and upload from the iPhone to Colt Country. 😁👍

Thank you Zulch and thank you for teaching me to post pics. Hopefully I’ll improve on that.
