here is my new to me I purchased from a forum member, lipseys bisley 44 flat top special. yesterday I dissembled it and did a trigger and action job, it is slick as cream corn. I cast and sized some Lyman 429421 that drops heavy with ww and ends up about 260gr. I heat it up with 15gr of 2400 and a standard primer. they shoot real tight. this configuration fits my hand like a glove,,,,,,,,,,,
yes sir one in a 45 colt would be nice. I would like one in stainless although I like blue better the stainless wouldn't wear the finish when carried,,,,,,,,
They are really nice guns. I bought one about a month ago. The trigger pull is heavy so I'm thinking of installing a new trigger/hammer spring kit and hope the pull smooths up as I shoot it. I don't have the tools or gunsmithing knowledge to do much more.
I just ordered a .44-40 cylinder for it since I have an 1873 Miroku Winchester in that caliber.
I added a stainless Bisley Flattop 44 spl 4.75 barrel to the herd this week, $550 shipped to my FFL. Buds listing sad it is an exclusive, just not who's.
Al Story who owns Borchardt Rifle Company. He has a website, but will not reply to email. He will answer his phone. I would love to have one of his Borchardt 1878 rifles. They are a work of art. He is making a run of .44-40 cylinders now. He makes a lot of Ruger cylinders and parts.
