Badger Creek Firearms is a small gun shop located at 434 Harlan Dr in Mooresville IN. We are actually on the SW corner of Harlan Dr and Samuel Moore Parkway and our phone number is 317-483-3716. We have a variety of new and used firearms including revolvers, semi automatic pistols, lever action rifles, bolt action rifles and shotguns. We are a stocking Standard Manufacturing dealer. We also have a master gunsmith on staff. We buy, sell trade. We offer layaway and we sell on consignment.
The originals had some issues with timing after some moderate use. They are notorious for being high maintenance. They have a nice weight for carry however which is the real reason why they were popular.
A 1911 is a milspec heavy metal pistol. Different manufacturers have made them but they’re still a milspec design by Browning. I like the 1911 because it’s a simple design and the just work. With a five inch barrel the 45 caliber is a thumper.
@@badgercreekfirearms6370 dang, nothing wrong with 45 LC. It is the original caliber after all. But it would be nice getting it in my favorite revolver round.
@@badgercreekfirearms6370 yeah, that’s why I think the cost is as low as it is. I know some people think it’s super expensive, but considering the level of work they put into these, it’s a pretty good price in my opinion.
@@AshCoggan The 1877 Colt has cylinder stops on the rear face of the cylinder which are not visible unless disassembled. The Pedersoli has the cylinder stops on the exterior of the cylinder like the 1873 SAA which are clearly visible. The modern Lightning grip models provide the lighter weight and handling of original 1877 Colts while remaining within the specifications required for Cowboy action shooting. Double action revolvers are prohibited in SASS main matches.
I'd love to see more of this revolver. Different angles and the loading port, cylinder out of gun etc. I'm curious about the different ways these were done back then.
Good video! Not sure if you were aware that this model of 1873 Winchester Carbine is the exact model that Billy The Kid is seen holding in his iconic tintype photograph. I believe though that his was a 44-40 Cal.
The front sight in your gun looks like my woodsman, but the front sights on the new Standard Woodsman are different and has a lower front sight height.
@@nathanfleming686 Highly doubt it. It's basically a Colt Woodsman. It's a blow back .22. If you were to go to any centerfire round the slide will have to triple in size.
Great video! I like the contrast between the Standard and the Colt. It's very rare to find an original Colt and the USS. Usually these are mix-matched, reworked at the arsenal with mixed parts. You might be right about the USS being a "lunch box gun", as Union Switch and Signal didn't have security early in the contract. Nice find and thanks for sharing!
