I know this is a lever gun group but there are lots that collect other stuff also. I don't own any older Colt revolvers but have always wanted a model 1877 Thunderer or possibly a Lightning. Are there any groups out there with buy/sell pages or other places I can look. I have been looking at Gunbrok...

I have a Uberti 73 that out of the box was a little stiff so I had it smoothed up. It works well and looks good. I have...
