It's just a Richards Conversion. They are different from the 72 in a few aspects. One being the ejector rod set up. I believe what Mike is referring to is the "S" curve under the barrel on the 72.

Yes, the Richards used the percussion barrel. The ejector rod housing fit into the ram hole. The RM has no ram hole.

Right, and the newer (cost saving ) S lug barrel held the long ejector housing with a single screw. The '72 used an S barrel but had and integral rear sight cast into it.

Thank you Mike. Do you own any RM's? Like to see a picture if you do and have time?

No sir, his are already on their way back to him. These just came in and are "new in the box". I cut the tags off just to make the pic. Jedi Knight's are 20 yrs old.  ( they ran like a fool last weekend though!! Lol)

Awesome Mike!

I should send you my 72 to work your magic on. Speaking of which, I still need to get my Dragoon and Walker in the mail to you. I've just been busy as hell.

Mike, worked on 21 to date?? I think I would prefer the army model RM (round barrel). I noticed on GB that their are plenty of Cimarron 1851's.

No foolin'? Hmmm? I need more education on these lil guys. So are the 1851 considered "fantasy" of sorts Hawg?
