I used to enjoy watching them too when I lived outside of Baton Rouge. As soon as I started mowing my 5-acre place a couple dozen of them would materialize and chow down on grasshoppers and other...
I have one, although I do not care for the plow handle grip and it is the only Ruger SA revolver I have that does not have a Bisley grip. I would love to have the Bisley grip on my Old Army but from...

I would love t o have a Trapdoor in .50-70 as well, but there are not many around here to look at in person and it is not something I think I would buy long distance.

Does anyone make and install new barrels for the Trapdoor? Or, there wouldn’t be some magical trove of NOS barrels hidden somewhere?

I like them, have not had any in years though. I like to warm the milk and let them soak a bit, really good.
