    Yesterday major accomplishment. The last big item on the “Must be done” list.
    All 3 drums came full of race fuel. 2 of these are now full of used oil. Been setting a good while and time to go.
    When you are servicing the race rugs/cars and the families fleet it’s easy to have that much used oil on hand. The fella that took it has a waste oil heater in his maintenance building.

    You know, I have no desire for this gun:


    but I do find the trigger interesting looking.

    Picked up two old (80s) ASM conversions, the top is a Richards repro in 44 Colt, one of their earliest, the bottom is an 1871 Navy Traditions repro in 38 special. The 44 Colt chambering is a bit of a challenge, but brass is available. Nice looking guns, the Richards is one of the best looking SA revolvers made in my opinion.

    Ohhh yes, that Richards is certainly sharp .... both the wood, and the case-hardened frame.
    7" barrel ?

    8"

    I have two Richards conversions, the other is an Uberti in 45 Colt. I like the old ASM revolvers better though as they are very faithful copies of the original Richards including the placement of the rear sight on the conversion gate ring. That sight is easier for me to use instead of the hammer notch like the Uberti. Both follow the lines well of the Colt 1860 which is pictured on the bottom.
