Howdy from the great state of Virginia.
« on: November 29, 2014, 02:23:05 PM »
  Thanks for adding me here, Wasnt too long a trip from the Remington place.I have been shooting Colts and Colt reproductions since 1986. Have had a ball with it ever since then. I think i have owned everything or shot everything but a Patterson , and thats on the bucket list.Yeah i have a couple of Remmingtons  but they just dont stir my soul like the old open top Colts do. Along the way i have become a pretty decent gunsmith on the blackpowder colts and Remmies . Also love working on any kind of blackpowder rifles whether muzzleloading or cartridge.
 
 At present  i own and shoot.
1847 Walker
!851 style 44 Colt that i built from spare parts
1860 ASM colt
Pietta 58
Euroarms 58
Cimmaron 72 open top in 38 special
ASM 1860 conversion in 38 special
2 Uberti 73 Colts
1866 Uberti rifle 45 colt
Armisport 1874 Sharps in 45-70
several muzzleloading rifles Always a TC hawken in the mix. Never been without a Hawken
 Did i mention i buy Goex in BULK....... *6'

Welcome to the forum.  Grab a chair, get some coffee and settle in.  When you feel comfortable, give us your opinion.  Oh, post pictures, (some of the older members didn't finish their learning.)
