The Gun That Started It All
« on: January 06, 2019, 05:06:35 PM »
I am going to cheat posting this thread from a different forum here.

If you go to this link, I am sorry for being lazy in my old age.

Asking for forgiveness, please.

That's ok Sourdough. You're doing it to further knowledge.  It's a great read.

That is great. I was back in my hometown over the holidays and went to the local gun show. Ended up in a talk with some older guys selling some Colt 2nd gens, and mentioned my Navy Arms. Turns out one of them knew Val from the old North South Skirmish Association. Had a fun chat about the real Val, apparently a pretty nice guy. At some point I need to take better quality photos of my 1st run Navy Arms and post them here, that first batch of photos were definitely not my best.
