1871 C. Mason Revolvers
With patents for the conversion of percussion revolvers,
Colt® employees Charles Richards and William Mason cut off the cap and
ball cylinders at the back and installed a conversion ring to accept
cartridges. These conversion revolvers were favorites then, and are
enjoying popularity again, as part of the sport of Cowboy Action
Shooting. All come standard with case-hardened frame and blue barrel
finish. Nickel finish frame and barrel are available; add N00 to model
number. |
