Most of you not us or me may say that:

First of all, you call a .44 cal 1851 Colt Navy a 'marketing gimmick', although that's a little unkind. Most of us use the original name with the caliber modifier (".44 '51 Navy", etc.) just to let everyone know we are aware it's not PC.
Not true was the Research & Developement expirimental model that's on display in the Colt Museum in Conn. based on the 1851 Model's frame, the predesessor to the 1860 Army.

Doc Hoy it's a Euroarms 1851 Navy .44 Colt original, manufactured by Euroarms Corp. and has been manufactured by several companies. Has to be ifin it ain't a Reproduction or a replica, right? And it's correct enought to put a .44 cal Period right where you want it.

This ain't The Muzzleloading Forum is it?

Good I thought I'd clicked the wrong hyperlink.......HeeHee!

I like um Doc and they are good shooters...Euroarms Rev cyl. have a deeply chamfered chamber for ease of loading and take a .457" dia. Ball. All my ASP and Euroarms Rems do, and I got a Lee mold 2cav. for um...
Enjoy the Rev it's a good un'.
