I modified an 1860 replica to an "Avenging Angel" style revolver. Cut and re-crowned barrel and cut and welded grip.

I almost asked you before looking up avenging angel. I remember that LDS avenger from Death Valley Days, and James Coburn played him in a movie with Tom Beringer as a junior avenger and Charlton Heston as Brigham Young. And Tighe Andrews as a traitor whose plans fail.I modified an 1860 replica to an "Avenging Angel" style revolver. Cut and re-crowned barrel and cut and welded grip.

Ironbut, upon careful consideration of your selfless offer, I have decided rather than send it to you, lest it should fall into the wrong hands during transit, I will just lock it securely away in my safe.That Luger is very old & possibly quite dangerous. Send it to me & I'll safely dispose of it for you.
You're welcome.
Well done. You have skillsI modified an 1860 replica to an "Avenging Angel" style revolver. Cut and re-crowned barrel and cut and welded grip.

Really fine vintage pistol, is it still in working order?Colt 1908 Vest Pocket and Camillus Two Blade Pen Knife
Will, thank you- yes, I have fired about 100 rounds through it and not one hiccup.Really fine vintage pistol, is it still in working order?
Regards, Will
My apologies - I did not intend to sound like I was lecturing you. It's just that I have had to work with so many ladies to try to get them to "unlearn" things like leaning back. I think it's wonderful that she is learning to shoot from you. "Teach your children well"Right. Her posture is a result of the gun being a bit long for her, combined with her sitting down on a stool. Playing the violin has her in the habit of sitting up straight, I think it's a very natural position for her.
This being her first time, I was more concerned with teaching her gun handling and making sure she followed the four rules. I'll work on her posture and stock placement going forward.
Great picture.It might be sacrilege to pose a Remington with a Colt but I like them both!
Nope but not a complete miss. I’m an archaeologist and work for a huge private consulting firm. I have; however, been both a Forest Service and Park Service employee in past (over 30 years ago, also as an archaeologist). The buckle is USGS, the belt is NPS. The USGS is just a cool agency, and I am particularly enamored with their work in late 19th and early 20th Centuries when they were mapping the west.View attachment 1641275Based on this pic and your nom de guerre, I'm going to guess you work for USGS. Geologist?
Nice Single Six
I worked with several geologists over the years. Mostly from Missouri's Division of Geology and Land Survey or from private industry. Occasionally the feds would be involved. I was around an occasional archeologist, but generally by the time they hauled in an engineer ( ) the archeologists had already done their thing and we knew if we had to work around something of significance, or if we could go hog wild moving dirt and things around as engineers are wont to doNope but not a complete miss.

The 586s and 686s are absolutely superb handguns.
