Had a friend that needed a new motor for his boat. These weren't very good paddles, so he sold them to me.   I've got walnut grips for the revolvers, but the stags were on them when I got them. Now to go shoot them sometime soon. These are guns by EMF. Revolvers were made in Italy by Pietta and I think the carbine was made by Uberti. |

Way to go 5OT. Personally, I'd rather shoot a replica than an original because the metalurgy is generally better.

Very nice. Unlike your friend, I recently sold my boat and am happy to be boat-free. Two happiest days in a man's life and all that.  Now I drive a nice car! What are the calibers of the pistols and the rifle? |

All are in .45Colt, or .45LC, or .45Long Colt, whichever you prefer. I've heard people assert that each was correct.

5on; The Italian replicas has become the top of the line of reproductions from the originals. The color case harden steel is very well done and the quailty of exact to detail, with no shortcuts to sacrifice from steel to using MIM parts or cast components. In todays market, The Italians has made its mark in the firearm industry in providing us with guns of a begone era. The Sambar Stags are very collectible and they have to be fitted on the Single Action Army revolvers. www.gunblast.com/Eagle-Stag.htm |

When Colt first introduced to Single Action Army to the Calvary troops, they did so in the .45 Colt cartridge which had a much longer case than the S&W .45 cartridge. Colt flooded the Army ammo supplies with the longer cases with their cartridges and the Colt SAA could still chamber the S&W cartridges but the S&W revolvers couldn't chamber the longer Colt .45 cartridges. The Colt .45 cartridges became known as the Colt .45 Long Cartridge or the Colt .45 LC at the time. This became one of mass marketing ploys, to make the Colt Single Action revolver the standard issue cavalry sidearm by the Army. |

From looking at the photos, I like them |

It has been a long time since I've pulled them out of the safe, and I'm to lazy to go dig them out to see. EMF lists them as ultra stag grips. For the price they are currently charging for them, they should be real.

They sure look really good on those pistols. I had one very similar in the 70's made by Ruger at the time. It also had the stag grips which were real back then. Mine was a 22 cal and was a nine shot with double action.
