Taylor’s & Co Richards-Mason 1851 Navy 38 Special 7.5″ Barrel 6 Rounds Walnut Grip

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.

Italian gunmaker Uberti produces this top quality modern day reproduction for Taylor’s & Co. It features a 7.5″ octagonal barrel, color case hardened frame and walnut grips. It’s a great choice for the re-enactor, Cowboy Action shooter or any fan of the Old West.
