    but I didn't get it directly from Cimarron. I don't think they do layaway.

    I did buy that book. It's on my "must read soon" list.

    Good luck with your new gun Beagle. Not sure how the new reproudctions are, but a decent CAS gunsmith can slick them up so they are sweet if they are a bit rough out of the box.

    I had my Colts and Great Western II's done and it makes a significant difference. If you are handy, you can likely do it yourself.

    Nothing more fun than shooting a SAA.

    My El Patron Competition models are smooth as can be, right out of the box. My Runnin' Iron needs a little lovin', but I didn't pay for the deluxe version of that one. I think I can do it. But I know a couple of CAS smiths if it becomes frustrating for me. I'm hoping the Frontier is already in pretty good shape. Cimarron supposedly picks the better ones.

    Sure.
    Slug the barrel to see if it will be accurate with .430 lead slugs.

    The .44-40 uses .427" slugs.

    This is a good time to consider getting into swaging your own....
