Well got my Colt Bisley army all set up to shoot 44 special.
This gun is one of two pre 1898 bisleys i have found in 7 years of looking there imposible to find under Ser # 175000 theres lots of them post 1898 but very few pre 1898.
This one is in the 174000s 300 short of the cut off.
The Bisleys came out in 1894 and all used the better smokeless steel so there about as good as you can get in a pre 1898 gun.
Enjoy the pics.
This one is set up in 44 Special and will shoot the factory smokeless ammo with newer cylinder and barrel.
Im still thinking of getting the screws that are silver fire blued.
She is a numbers matching gun with nice clear patent dates orignal grips are just perfect.
