Ya know, ……it’s fun and educational being on a forum with like minded Colt people. Like I said earlier I have over 17K posts over at leverguns and while a great group of righteous people most are not Colt savvy…..
I used to have connections to the factory and buying several guns right out of the Colt Archives Vault, like those one of a kind AR’s and others…..had a single action in full nickel chambered in 44 mag in my hands but the cost was too much for a working class guy like me…
But sadly, my bud retired but while there I had the factory make me 2 SAA’s with special serial numbers…..the first was Sixgun 1 in 38-40 (my favorite caliber) with a 5.5 and the other was Sixgun 2 in 45 Long Colt. Got them in 3 weeks. What I’d do to go back 15 -20 years…..I would have mortgaged the house and sold my soul…..well, not that far…
Some things you have to leave unfired and they still are….but I guess I can still show them off.

Well, it ain’t much but these guns are like the Hope Diamond…to me. I could have had a 32-20 with #3 and I passed due to “there’s only so much money”. The factory wouldn’t give me plain old Sixgun as the big shot probably heard about the only guy since 1873 to have that idea so he kept it for his

Hey.......Captain Jayster....a.k.a. Old Win.......guys, I know this hombre pretty good and I like to inform you he has every Winchester ever shipped to Maine.My old buddy Six. Showing off again.
He likes to acuse me of stealing all his Colts, but as you fellas can see, I didn't get them all.
Or the good ones, apparently.
Some guys have big houses and go on vacation to exotic places. Some with their own gun ranges in their door yards.......I'm just a poor old hick living in a pallet house with plywood stapled to it......
I got this SAA in .45 Colt from a fellow who didn't treat it very well. Actually, I feel like I rescued it. it had fine scratches all over the barrel & cyinder that defied explanation. The grips were proud, too. I took it to a 'smith who knows Colts pretty well and he got 'er looking good, again:

I bought this 44-40 about a month ago, new in the box with all the papers. Manufactured in 1993. The only blemish I could find was the staining on the hammer which I'm not too worried about. The timing is perfect and it shoots to point of aim and is accurate. I've been looking for another one of these for quite some time and this one checked all the boxes for me including the price. I've put 150 rounds through it so far and it's a winner.
