A while back, a Forum member found some guns that I felt needed a permanent home with my clan. So, I planned for my birthday, (last week,) to get a couple from him. Well, as it turned out, he had a scheduled vacation last week, se we weren't able to complete the deal until yesterday. A week later than I had hoped,, but they are now snuggling next to their brethern! (The Rugers anyway!) The truly special one to me is the El Dorado Arms 45 Colt I got. I used to go to the plant where these things were made, and fondle, shoot & in general drool over the guns. Back then, I couldn't afford one,, but I was able to get this one. I finally have a Chimney Rock El Dorado Arms gun,, and it's in one of the two calibers I have wanted all the years I wished for one.
I will be visiting the lone survivor of El Dorado soon to discuss this one & hopefully get a bit more history on it.
As for the Rugers,,, just a pair of OM Convertables,,, BKH-36X and a BKH-45X. :D
A good Birthday for me!

Well I took the El Dorado out for a quick test fire today. SWEET and accurate. I tossed an old can out about 20 yds, and easily drilled it a few times. About 4 out of the 6 I shot were dead on, enlarging the hole in the can I was making.
