Description
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 favorite reproductions.
The Army version of the C. Mason revolvers features a steel backstrap and triggerguard, round barrel with front blade sight, and a larger-size Army grip. This special C. Mason models feature a case hardened forged steel frame, charcoal blued finished parts, modern ejector rod, and hammer with notched rear sight.
This example is chambered in .45 Colt with an 8.0” barrel, and it is in store and available now, priced at $843.99.
