ThanksBDM1 said:Believe it or not, but i have never seen one in person, not even at a gun show. But, that is a very nice looking gun!
ThanksG2 said:Somewhat limited production #'s and desirable, Usually bring around 1k +/- in New or LNIB.
Made in polished stainless(yours) and Blued.
If you want to add a blued one to your collection, I have a LNIB that I'm going to part with.
Nice acquisition.

Variants
The Old Army was made in blued steel and stainless steel. Originally fitted with adjustable sights, fixed-sight models were first offered in 1994. A 5-½ inch barrel was introduced in 2002. Some versions were sold with polymer ivory grips
ThanksRclark said:I have one of those. Shoots well after I had a action job done on it. I just have to get it out more often! I have in my notes that there were ~12,600 Fixed sighted ROA revolvers made (7 1/2", 5 1/2", blued, stainless) how many of each ... nobody seems to know.

ThanksCoop said:I used to have two of them, numbered 08 and 09, and shot them for many years as blackpowder C&B revolvers. I won two Frontiersman Top Ten belt buckles at SASS Winter Range National Championship matches at Ben Avery in AZ (2005 and 2007). Sold them for 4 times what I paid for them to a collector in MO eight years ago. I got tired of cleaning them.
Great revolvers!!!!
I haven't shot it yet. It's currently at my gunsmith making sure everything is in working order.Rclark said:Well, I took up G2's offer and now have a fixed blued 5 1/2" ROA as a mate for my fixed SS 5 1/2" ROA revolver. Now to find time to shoot it.
boatswainsmate, have you shot your ROA yet?
