Well did I get a deal this past weekend. A guy I know from work does the "Yard Sale Thing" and ran accross a 1860 Army Revolver (replica) that somebody had bought as a kit, then didn't know how to put it together right or couldn't read directions. Long story short, he paid $50 for it and then asked me to take a look at it. Just at first look I could tell the barrel wedge was in backwards and upsides down, plus the cylinder wouldn't turn. Told him I would have to take it home to tear it down to see what was wrong.
Well there was a lot wrong as parts had been put in backwards and such, but luckly for me I had bought a parts kit for my 1851 Navy, a just in case kit. Well all the parts I needed to replace in the 1860 were in the kit. I told the guy that I had fixed it and would either give him $60 dollars for the gun or he could pay me $75 for fixing it. Well he took my $60 an ran as he isn't a gun guy.
I got a break from work and got off at noon to head to the range and see if I could make some smoke. Well it took a few shots to get the load right and get use to the gun, but in the end I think I've got one of the best shooting pistols I own... I do want to get a new cylinder for it as this one is boggered up from being forced to turn, but for now it will do.
