That is real nice LP. You gotta love those 1860's. I have one and really enjoy that one. Thanks for posting.

1860’s are beautiful and that is a fine example.  Congrats on that.

Maybe it’s just the light or camera but has the upper rear area of the loading window been widened / recessed as is sometimes done to in order to fit longish conicals?  The wedge screw looks almost flush with the frame but may just be optics.

Real nice piece, LP.

I don't think it's any wider but it is a little longer. All of the signature series are like that.

Good for you LP!   It's always a good day when you get a new gun.

Must be the photo, I haven't opened the port or done anything except drop a shim down in the arbor hole.

It's not the pics it's the way the sig series are made.

Congrats on the new Army. I had a fluted cylinder Signature Series a few years back and was sorry to have let it go.
