That looks terrific! Just in case you missed it, Taylor's is having a sale on drop-in cylinders for the NMA in .45LC right now. Just sayin'...
You're going to want to pick up another Rogers & Spencer anyway!!
Nice looking hide-out piece!Thanks! I need to install a slightly stronger spring in the loading lever so it doesn’t fall down when I shoot it. I installed the latch on the other end so it locks into the end of the cylinder pin. The original spring broke in half for some reason when I removed it so I’m using half of one right now.Besides that it shoots great and feels good with the birdshead grip.
Sometimes, it seems to me, that the notion of “collectability” is a bogus criteria by which to judge the inherent value of a firearm. A collectable is worth more money. That’s a good thing but tied to the marketplace and that’s just money and the standard of valuation is purely commercial. It just becomes another commodity.
A Barby doll that will sell for 5k is twice as “collectible” as a R&S that will go for only 2.5K. If value is defined in terms other than money it’s clear which of those has the greater intrinsic worth.
I hope the double strike on bassist’s makes it worth a million bucks.
It’s looks like it’s double struck but it appears to be BH or BM. Thanks for fixing my photo by the way!
BH is 96, BM is 99. Looks like BH to me. Not sure why my pic came out pixelated. All I did was copy yours and rotate it.
1stNameBassist. I use an iPhone as well and had issues in the beginning. So my workaround is to take pics with the iPhone then forward the pics to an email. When the phone ask about what size would you like to send the attachment? I choose medium size. I then go to my email and save the picture back to my phone and it generally is a small enough file then to post to ColtCountry. I hope that helps.Ok let me try that! Thank you for the suggestion
Six - it’s said that the chamber capacity for the R&S is significantly greater than 1860’s and Remington’s. If so, how much more?
The screw attaching the trigger guard is the same that attaches the trigger/bolt return spring. Is that a good thing or does it complicate reassembly?
I’ve read (somewhere) that Gen. Joe Wheeler (formerly CSA) carried an R&S during the Spanish-American War and that a few were issued then. Anyone have info on that.
