I found a 45 Colt and sent the cylinder a couple moon clips and a hundred bucks to Tom Kilchoffer of TK Custom Guns. A week later I have a Mountain Gun that accepts 45Colts individually and 45 ACP via moon clips. I just received the cylinder this evening, so I haven't shot it yet.

I also picked up this Gold Cup tonight: It's a Series 70 that someone spent a few bucks on: fine checked front strap, light matting above that, a bit more course checkering on the front of the trigger guard, a pinned beaver tail grip safety, Bomar sights, Checkered arched main spring housing, long solid trigger, Swenson ambi safety, rowel hammer, fitted bushing, full length spring guide rod (Oh well) black wood smooth stocks, nicely beveled mag well a couple mags etc. Nice gun, I traded holsters for it , so that just makes it even better. I sold my first Gold Cup to help finance a move, been missing it ever since. and this has all the things I would have liked done but just couldn't afford. So, yeah, Christmas came early!
