I found an SS old style (adjustable sight) 7" Old Army in a gun shop today. Walked out the door with it but without $295. I don't know if that's such a great deal, but I couldn't pass it up.
Looks like it's been handled/carried a lot (???) but never shot. I removed about 99% of the wear/scratches with some 600 grit sandpaper and it looks pretty slick now. That's one reason I love stainless guns.
Does anyone know if the rifling in these revolvers is sufficient to stabilize anything but a ball? I was playing with the thought of hunting with it...
BTW, this is my first BP gun for all practical purposes (had one years ago but only shot it once) so silly questions will no doubt follow.
