Description:
sale pending john r- THIS 1892 COLT IS MARKED SERIAL #5821 ON THE FRAME . IT HAS THE RAC MILITARY INSPECTOR STAMPS ON THE FRAME AND CYLINDER. IT IS A FIRST YEAR MODEL THAT HAS BEEN SENT BACK TO COLT FOR INSTALLATION OF THE MODEL 1894 SAFETY UPGRADES. THE FACTORY USUALLY REPLACED ANY WORN BARRELS WHEN THEY REPLACED THE CYLINDER WITH THE NEW MODEL TYPE. CYLINDER IS #4916, THE 6" BARREL IS SERIAL #6216 MARKED DA 38. IT HAS BEEN REFINISHED EITHER AT THE FACTORY WHEN UPGRADED OR SINCE THEN, PROBABLY THE LATTER AS THE FINISH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE BUTT GRIP HAS NO LANYARD RING OR SERIAL NUMBER SO THIS REVOLVER IS PROBABLY AN ARMY FRAME CHOSEN TO BE SOLD AS A CIVILIAN MODEL AT THE FACTORY. IT IS CHAMBERED FOR 38 LONG COLT, A BLACK POWDER CARTRIDGE. IT SHOULD NEVER BE FIRED WITH 38 SPECIAL AMMUNITION WHICH WILL CHAMBER BUT IS MUCH HIGHER PRESSURE THAN THE REVOLVER WAS DESIGNED FOR. THE ACTION FUNCTIONS WELL IN SINGLE AND DOUBLE ACTION MODES WITH GOOD LOCKUP AND A CRISP TRIGGER. THE BORE IS SHINY WITH STRONG RIFELING WITH SOME SCATTERED LIGHT PITTING. THE REBLUE IS VERY WELL DONE. I DON'T BELIEVE THE GRIPS ARE ORIGINAL BUT THEY FIT WELL.
