That's pretty!

That's just flat beautiful and early enough to still have the CCH hammer unless you ordered it that way.

The cyl latch is just a tad high in the back. The wear spots in the approach and in the cyl notches are off ctr.

Thanks, The gun was ordered with the case colored hammer option, It is a later gun SN #27xxx. Your right that the bolt nose could be slightly recontoured to good effect, though it still has plenty solid lockup. Several of mine could also use a bit filed of the area in front of the bolt to increase protrusion so the bolt bottoms out. I never bothered, they all seemed to run fine.

Yeah, you can also tell from the mark locations the timing is absolutely perfect. Mike that gun would be sold to me already if it was a 4 3/4"!

It has to do with the second notch of the hand. If you lengthen that, it will drop the bolt in the notch correctly.

The timing on the gun is great, the bolt drops within the notch leade. There is no cylinder scoring outside of the leade. Jim is saying that the bolt nose contour could be adjusted so the wear mark is in the center of the leade, not toward the rear of the cylinder.

I just wanted to chime in because I really like that gun. Haha. I have handled a few and find them to be pretty slick.

Thanks! I wouldn't be selling this one if I didn't have a few backups.

The cyl latch timing is perfect. If it drops directly into the notch, the timing is late. It should drop into the lead just as shown.
If you lengthened the 2nd tooth on the hand, the cyl would lock up before the hammer can go far enough back to reach the full cock notch and it will bind up or won't cock at all!

What a beautiful USFA Revolver, and thank you for offering it for sale.

I have friend that I've told him about my USFAs, and he always says yea but
their not a Colt, and I say, Your DAMN right their not!

Colt will never get to the level of a USFA. Actually I think they
are using Turnbull now.

Even if Colt uses Turnbull for the case colors..they will still never meet the hand fitted quality of the USA built USFA revolvers. They are the best SAA style revolvers ever made...period. In addition, there is no gun maker that did or ever will match their spectacular nickel plating process. Makes the Colt NP SAA look like a novice did it. USFA, the best ever.

The new Colt SAAs are nice, but the USFA guns are the best ever.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I know some will disagree, but I haven't seen a recent Colt as nice as USFA.

Nice!!

I wish I could add this to my collection but, right now I'm holding out
for a S&W Model 625 45 Long Colt Mountain Gun.

This USFA would make a great Chirstmas Gift!
