Hey buddy,
That is my Uberti 1872 Richards/Mason conversion replica in .38 Special. From Taylor Firearms in Winchester, Virginia. I have a particular fondness for firearms from that time period. I've also got a stunning 1873 rifle replica from the same company that Rick Lowe (RLO Leather) did some beautiful leather work for.

I posted these way back, but here's a better view.

You might have to send me a private message with that YouTube link...I'd like to see those.

I like the cartridge conversions. I've got a .44 black powder 1861 Navy replica that is a ton of fun to shoot, but the loading and cleaning process is a pain. Sure does make some nice fire if you shoot it in the dark though - for a split second the flame completely engulfs the pistol. I can see why you've got to plug each cylinder to avoid a full ignition explosion. The cartridge conversions still have that historical accuracy, but damn easy to shoot and clean.

The 1873 lever rifle is a ton of fun! Shoot that one all day and never get tired of it.
