Pietta or Uberti? Or possibly an older Remington replica, like an Armi San Marcos?

BEAUTIFUL!!!

If it were fitted with a conversion cylinder to allow use of cartridges would make it just about perfect....to me anyway.

It's a Uberti. I didn't have to cut the barrel. It's one of their "Shorty" 5.5-inch models.

man, i didn't realize they made a shorty! a guy on another forum shortened a fairly rough original, and posted a pretty good thread of his process. i thought it was extremely cool! i may have to be on the lookout for one!
