It has tons of original bluing that remains with some nice patina. It is chambered in the more powerful 22 wrf which you can still get tod...

Re: Original Colt 1877 .38 Lightning

The following was posted on another forum so I thought I would include it here. Given the date of production, this revolver should have a 0.357-0.358” bore. You can use 38spl dies to load Starline 38 long colt brass and use standard 38 caliber 125 cowboy bullets instead of the old 0.375” heel-type b...

At more than triple the price it was before. I love TB and I am glad its back. I am also glad I did not pay the absolutely crazy prices some people were getting for it when the market dried up.

I guess 45 per 9 oz is better than the crazy prices.
