The Ruger OA is a hybrid and isn't even authentic to the period...I can see some of the old model percussion conversions being recreated...

Add on: I see your question similar to the questions I get about sleeving my Parker Damascus barrels. Why bother, why not just buy a newer shotgun? The Parkers are beautiful and I what to shoot them.

Now in 993 land ...

That conversion kit is running $200. That's half a decent used revolver.
 Sounds like you vault is full already ...Just sayin'. George |

I like my Old Army, but like Henry, I just don't shoot it much. The black powder doesn't bother me - I shoot more of it than smokeless anyway, in everything from muzzle loaders to lever guns to single shots to single action revolvers - but the loading procedure on a cap 'n' ball gun is agonizingly slow. The Ruger stands as the finest cap 'n' ball gun ever produced. It was never meant to be a copy of anything, or to be period correct in any way. Bill Ruger simply wanted to revive the concept in a modern platform for today's shooters. Like the Blackhawk, his original .22 auto, and the #1, it strongly suggests traditional designs, but is not bound by them. They are all uniquely Ruger. They have never been in the repro business.

Hey Jeff
Here's a muzzle loader for you. It hasn't been shoot for 30 years but it looks like new. 45 cal Harrington and Richardson "Huntsman". Any interest? As for those Ruger #1 I have four [ 2)7mm, (1)6mm and (1)30-06] all in new unfired condition. 30-06 is still in the box. All dated around 76, Three are Liberty models.

Thanks Henry, but I think I'll pass on the Huntsman. In their infinite wisdom, the Washington game department has declared all ignition systems must be exposed to the elements. Sealed breach guns like that are illegal to hunt with up here. I might be interested in one of those #1's if any are for sale, though. Are the 7mm's Mauser or Magnum? Light Sporters, Internationals, or Standards? I like my Light Sporters and Tropical Rifles with the barrel band front sight and sling swivels. Very purdey rifles.

A #1 Ruger is a very good gun to have. Owned one for a long time...

Now this would be one very accurate gun. It's a Korth .32 Not my gun (some guy at the pistol club's) but I sure would like a shoot with it.
