I am a newbie. Recently acquired this 1860 Colt by Armsport. Never Fired all Stainless. A very nice revolver. This appears to be what some refer to as a 4 screw frame. Is that Correct? What is that fourth screw for? The parts breakdown that came with the gun (my DI would have my a**), is generic for a " Colt Pony Express - Navy 1851 - Army 1860" and does not make any reference to that screw. The gun is pretty clean but want to strip it down before firing this week, hopefully tomorrow. This is really a nice revolver. Not familiar with Armsport but the workmanship is outstanding. Can't find any marks to indicate date of mfg.

That 4th screw is for a shoulder stock, the front brass hooks of the stock clips under that screw and there should be a notch in the frame on the base of the grip for the other mounting area. That's a nice revolver and the stocks come up for auction on Ebay occasionally, they aren't cheap, they are legal for b/p revolvers, but require a ATF stamp for modern revolvers.

Good idea with the pb blaster, I may try that. I watch duelist1954 videos quite often, he does not strip the gun down all the way every time. Maybe every 3rd time or so. I am assuming frequent use though. Thanks for the info. Hope to head for the range tomorrow or Thursday.
