It seems Louis L'Amour was a Pietta fan. :D From Mojave Crossing: I see mistakes like this regularly. One author likes to refer to the chambers/flash holes as "cylinders." :confused: Another has his characters loading cartridges into Paterson revolvers. The list goes on. I just smile and...

River Junction backordered my conversion cylinder, so I'm canceling the order and leaving the gun cap & ball. I smeared on some blue in a few spots, knowing full well that in a week's time it'll be worn off again. At that point I'll leave it alone and let the elements age it further. I'm really...

Does anyone else do this besides me? I would be interested to hear your methods and/or see pictures. I don't like the glossy red finish on Uberti grips. This is my latest set, on a Cimarron, redone with Danish Oil (still curing). Obviously, the grain isn't comparable to a set of custom grips...
