Description
With patents for the conversion of percussion revolvers, Colt® employees Charles Richards and William Mason cut off the cap-and-ball cylinders at the back and installed a conversion ring to accept cartridges. These conversion revolvers were favorites then and are enjoying popularity again as favorite reproductions. This Army version of the C. Mason revolvers features a nickel plated steel backstrap and triggerguard, nickel plated round barrel with front blade sight, and a larger-size Army grip. This C. Mason models feature a nickel plated forged steel frame, nickel plated parts, modern ejector rod, and hammer with FALSEtched rear sight.
