Ok, now that we have a section for all things Holy Black, here is my obsession! The Original Assault RIfle
This one is dated 1862 and is a Colt Patent Revolving rifle MK-IV in .44 cal!
I currently have 7 of these, all but two are originals, and one is a Non Shooter ( for now) but they are awesome to shoot and very accurate!
This one is the " Frontier Carbine" with a barrel length of 27 inches and a fast twist of 1/24" takes a conical bullet between 220 gr and 300 gr over 52 gr ( MAX) of 3F powder. It also is the rare Quick change cylinder version and I have 4 spare cylinders for it and all the moulds and tools! Best Combo of range and power is a 258 Gr Round nose solid ( Colt Mould #9) over the full 52 gr of 3F with a MV of 2470 FPS! Max range I can get out of it reliably is about 800 meters, and reliable kills around 300 if I do my part,, but would never take a shot like that under normal circumstances!
Will post up more pictures soon!
