Well, the title's not quite right. I don't want to sell it, I need to sell it so I can buy more toys.:D I've had the gun just short of a year now, and I realized the other day, that I shoot my Colt clones a lot more than I shoot the Remmy. So, if something has to go, it won't be one of the Colts.

Anyway, it's a Euroarms 1858 NMA, and from the date codes, it was made in 1973. There are a few places where the bluing's worn off, like where the rammer hinges on the loading lever, and at the end of the barrel from holster wear, and of course on the cylinders. Nothing too terrible. It's definitely a shooter - and a good one - not a wall hanger. It has an R&D conversion cylinder (Uberti) with it, and a Lee Classic Loader kit for .45LC. I'm asking $250, and I pay shipping.

P.S. I'm going to restrict this to the U.S. only, and only to states where I can legally ship to.

Shotgun Willy - Do NOT ship the gun with the conversion cylinder in the same package. It's OK to sell them both at the same time to the same person for one total price, but not as an assembled gun.

Putting a cartridge cylinder in a percussion revolver is legal as long as it is not sold as an assembly. Anyone can legally build their own handgun (black powder, smokeless powder, percussion, flintlock or cartridge) without a license in the US but they cannot sell it; a tax license is required to sell a handgun that fires modern cartridge ammunition.

Thanks Mykeal, I found that out when I recieved it, but it never hurts to be reminded. The last thing I need is to screw up and give Uncle Sugar a reason to come to the house. ;)
