Heard an interesting little piece of gossip today, that Val Forgett at Navy Arms purchased ALL the Colt Single Action Army parts from the crumbling Colt Custom Shop. If it's true, might be an excellent time to pick up that Colt you've been eyeing...

Michael B It is true. Had it confirmed from two different sources. You make the third. He is selling them on ebay. A friend bought a cylinder from him there. |

Oh, and you are right. If there is a Colt SAA you want, start looking at them now. Unless Standard Mfg. actually follows through on their announced plans to make a single action revolver, the days of US made Colt/USFA quality single actions as production items are gone.

MB, is your new BFR.454 the Bisley model? If so, do you mind me asking where you found it? I've tried in vain to find one at my dealers or online.

Nope...it's a plow handle...I've never been able to warm up to Bisleys. I ordered it directly from Magnum Research (they're a sponsor of a couple of my shows). Ordered it in December, and was just notified that it has shipped.

I have never liked the look of a Bisley either, but I always understood I was in a minority. |

Wonder if this has anything to do with NOT being able to get in touch with Colts after numerous phone calls, and even wrote a letter, no reply. Call and be on hold forever, finally give up. If anyone has an inside track to talk to someone there let me know.
