single action army in 32-20
« on: December 28, 2003, 03:52:21 AM »
I'm lucky enough to have a friend who really likes the old Colts. The other day, he fished around in his safe and came up with this First Generation from 1919. The bore and chambers look new and the action is tight.  


The load we used was a 115 grain lyman sized .313" over three grains of bullseye.  Average velocity  was 763
We had a sample of the well known computer virus in a can which i managed to hit four of five times at 25 yards

Beautiful gun!  Don't suppose he offered to sell it? :wink:

I'm pretty sure not.  He's found out that when he sells these things, he just has to go out later and buy another one for more money. There is a little more about it here:
