I always thought cowboy/classic guns, be it single actions revolver, lever or slide rifles, were waste of gun money. Well, that was so until I purchased and shot my colt lightning replica rifle. I totally fallen for it now. I totally ignored my target rifles , just like they are an old concubines. In fact, Yesterday I placed an order on a coach shotgun and just today I just place another order on a pair of single action revolver from US firearms. Some lever guns are on my shopping list. It's really cool to understand how each guns from different eras represent the culmination of engineering/thought from respected periods. Creating a replica (metallurgy, mechanical, finish, grip material etc) correct to the intended era is not only a challenge for the gunmaker but also a must.

Or maybe I'm just insane?
