Offering One Of My Guns UPDATED

Post by JimT »

I was selling the gun to help rebuild a destroyed Church in Mozambique. However someone has donated the entire sum that was needed. So Thank the Lord and that person!

I am STILL offering this for sale. I have not been shooting black powder in awhile and I am getting older, I think I will sell a few guns that someone else can enjoy.

I bought this gun a few years ago. After I shot it awhile I started messing with it. The first thing I did was "antique" it. I removed the blueing and the finish on the stocks. Later on I cut a dovetail and put a fairly decent front sight on it and opened the notch in the hammer. The front sight is my copy of the front sight on Wild Bill's 1851 that is in the Cody Museum. Then I reshaped the trigger to more like the original. The factory nipples have been replaced with Slix Shot nipples.

It comes with a home-made loading stand and a kit to make paper cartridges (both 36 and 44).

Make me an offer. PM me or use this colt.tnql6@passinbox.com

That is an alias email that I can delete if the bots pick it up and I start getting spammed. I will answer from my normal email.

I just now found out that some folks got together and have fully funded building a totally new and larger Church. Someone donated the full $300,000.00!!

They are going to continue and help rebuild the village. Almost all the homes in the village were severely damaged or destroyed. You can read about it on the page I linked above.
