1892 Single Action Colt
Howdy Guys, The other day, my bud Tommy at Targetmaster, asked me to check out this single action Colt which had a cylinder that flopped around and stuck. This gun, made in 1892 has real ivory grips and a full nickel plate. All markings are crisp and the nickel is very nice with an age patina, but.....

I'll disagree. Its a hit or miss and if its a miss, you just ate $545. You do not know the history of the gun and if "85%" is any indication, to me, its an indication that is was a cowboy rifle that ate up 20K rounds and probably has loosened up to the point where its "worse junk"...
