Hi guys need y'alls opinion. Spied this one on gunbroker and couldn't help myself😁 Howd I do for $950?

Can't believe they didn't list the King part, nice.

I got real lucky on this one I figure😅 Always wanted a 3rd model hand ejector, the adjustable sights are a nice plus.

Very nice, a piece of history.

Excellent snag and bet it will be an awesome gun.

Thanks guys! I'm thinking a steady diet of the skeeter load or 13.5 grains of 2400 with a 250 grain keith pill are in order for this old sixgun😎

Super nice!

I had it's twin in a 4" model in a .45 Colt. Mine had a cockeyed hammer and a short action job too.

Proved to be quite accurate and a cool gun to boot.

It had been shot a lot so I let it go.

Does yours have the short action? I don't know if they could do them without the hammer mod.

Is it a King rear sight?

[mac86]

It does indeed have the king rear sight! Not sure about the short action, I just won the auction so I'll update once in have it in hand

From what I could see in the first photo with the hammer, I would say it is a long action, but the picture was at too poor an angle to say for sure. Went to the gunbroker site and looked at the pictures. Yes, it is a long action.

excellent.....

I can't wait to shoot this old hogleg and see what she can do!

[mac86]

So I've got the sixgun in hand. The king sight base has a little wiggle in it and the front sight attachment screw looks half sheared off. Anyone have ideas where I could find a replacement and to fix the sight base wiggle?
