Patience, persistence, and hard work, combined with a dash of luck, is what will get you a Model 1894 stock. They are very difficult, but not impossible, to find. Set up saved searches on Gunbroker, Auction Arms, and Ebay. Post a WTB ad on Gunboards.com and other C&R sites. And keep trying.

Fantastic guns! Whoever buys this won't regret it.

Haven't shot it yet. We took only .45 Colt ammo to the range when we had it out. It was funny - my boy looking all concerned saying "Dad! The ammo doesn't fit!"

And, I measured the .45 ACP cylinder in it tonight and noticed it is too short. And the serial number doesn't match. Sigh....

I am looking for a .45 Colt cylinder for a very early New Model Blackhawk. This one came from the era where they were using up the OM cylinders with the firing pin groove. I'd consider a newer cylinder depending on price and whether I can find an earlier one. The .45 ACP cylinder that is in...

So, remember my fiasco a few weeks ago buying a 7.5" Old Model .45 Blackhawk to discover it had the .45 ACP cylinder in it? A forum member hooked me up with a .45 Colt OM cylinder and I'm just waiting to get it to the gunsmith to be fit. But, the saga continues.... This past weekend, a...

He is less than two hours from me. Didn't want to wait for his typical turnaround times, but maybe he could do this one relatively quickly. Haven't been up to see him in a while, so maybe this is a good excuse. I'll check in with DougGuy as well. Thank you both!

Soooooo....got the .45 Colt cylinder from a forum member. Condition matches the gun quite well, which made me happy. The new cylinder is a few thousandths too long. Not trusting myself with filing the bushing, to whom would you send it for fitting?

BTT. Priced reduced to $60 shipped.

I'll take it for $200. PM sent.

MOVED TO GUNBROKER This is a nice Threepersons holster from El Paso Saddlery. It is marked "RRH 9 1/2"". Since there were no 9.5" Redhawks, I must assume it is for a 9.5" Super Redhawk. I put my 7.5" Super Redhawk in it and it fit perfectly. The strap is a bit snug, which tells me it...

Well, they couldn't find another cylinder. The gun was consigned to them and the previous owner didn't know it even had one. Guess that means he never tried to chamber a round. They are giving me a credit to help with the cost of another cylinder and a forum member PMed me that he has one, so...

LOL. I knew I could count on you to help a Tarheel brother out, Ty!

I recently bought an Old Model Blackhawk .45 that had only the .45 ACP cylinder. I'm looking for an Old Model .45 Colt cylinder. If you have one, please drop me a note so we can compare dimensions to see if yours is compatible with my gun and talk turkey on pricing. My gun is nice, but not...

Well, you are confirming what I was thinking. Fingers still crossed that they will find the other cylinder.... Thank you!
