Fingers McGee: You mention have a Dance revolver? Is it a Pietta .44cal. or .36cal.? Maybe a Uberti?????

Jim, It's a Traditions/Pietta .44 made in 2007. Would love to find a Uberti and a .36. Of course I'd also love to find one of the Tucker & Sherrods like MCB did.

Are you sure about the manufacture dates on the carbine? I recall seeing one in a Gun Shop in Jeff City MO. I was at a drill weekend and stopped in during lunch for some carridges & they had one in the display case. I retired from the Guard in 1994, so it had to be well before then, I'm thinking 91 or 92. I'm still kicking myself for not buying it.

You have a pretty rare carbine. I have one NIB that I purchased from Cabela's back in 1998. They were only on the market for a couple of years.

Thanks Jim, I'll do some more searching using that S&G name.

The date stamp is 1998 on mine. I have not found any on-line info.

I'd like to know were you got the stocks for that Colt, I'd like to find one for my 1861.

If you are referring to the detachable shoulder stock, they come up on Gunbroker and even evil bay occasionally. If you want one for a 61 Navy then the 51 Navy should be the size you need. The 60 has a longer grip frame so it may use a different shoulder stock. Is your frame and bottom of the grip cut for the shoulder stock? I don't recall seeing a 61 with the frame cuts, but 61 collection is very limited. Most shoulder stocked revolvers have the fourth screw on the frame but the stock I have (Uberti) fits frames with out the fourth screw fine. You just need the cut out in the recoil shield and the grip.

Dates of Manufacture

I went back through 20yrs of catalogs to make sure about the dates the Schneider & Glassick Carbine was manufactured. I was unable to find anything before 1998 or after 1999. Does mean they weren't but the date codes are the only true indicator of date of manufacture.

Fingers McGee, are you sure it was a carbine with a fixed stock and not the brass frame Buntline with a stock attached. The Buntline has been around for several years.

Pietta also made 1851 Navy in .44cal. (I refer to these in our book as an 1851 Army) with a 12" barrel, steel case hard frame, and an adjustable rear sight on the barrel the same as the Carbine. I was made in 1997.

If anyone runs across the carbine with manufacture dates outside the 1997-2000 time, please post for all of us.
 
Jim,

Well,I'm pretty sure. It was over 15 years ago. I had been buying and shooting C&Bs for quite a while up to that point, and it was different than anything I had run across up til then; carbines with removeable stocks. I've been looking for one like it ever since.
