Description:
The Colt Richards conversion of the 1860 Army was produced starting in 1871 following the expiration in 1868 of Smith and Wesson's patent on centerfire cartridges and the 1869 expiration of White's patent on bored-through cylinders. It was a vast improvement on Colt's earlier attempt to get around the patents: his less-than-optimum Thuer Colt conversions. In the main, the Richards alteration consisted of removing the percussion nipples from the cylinder to create bored-through chambers that were reamed out to accept the metallic cartridge. A base plate or "conversion ring" was installed in the frame that included a firing pin and overlapped the rear of the cylinder. The ring was fitted with a loading gate and the ratchet re-cut on the rear of the cylinder and fitted with a new hand. This used revolver is in very good condition with some wear on the bluing from age and normal use. The grips are white plastic. This firearm is being offered by the Boise Cabela's Gun Library. We will ship for free to your local Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops for transfer to you. If you are interested in purchasing or have any other questions, please call the Boise Cabela's Gun Library directly at (208) 672-7922. .44 Colt
