Taylor's & Company Richards Mason Navy 38 Special 5.5" Barrel 6 Round Case Hardened Frame Single Action Revolver 0926

When centerfire brass cartridges first became available in the mid-1850s, there were few firearms in circulation that were ready to accept them, although percussion revolvers were plentiful. Using the Model 1851 Navy revolver as a base, Colt employees Charles Richards and William Mason developed a procedure where they would cut the rear of the cap and ball cylinder off, and install a conversion ring to accept the new ammunition. Conversion revolvers such as this one were commonly seen and quite popular in their day.



Taylor & Co is proud to offer this modern-day reproduction, which is now enjoying popularity in Cowboy Action competition and Old West re-enactments. Featuring a color case hardened frame and brass trigger guard, this fully functional replica shoots as good as it looks.



Note: This firearm has a 5.5" barrel. The 7.5" version is pictured.
