Spencer Photo
Hello HlJ, A half hour ago, I tried to load a Spencer carbine picture of a period 1865 Model, it was impossible to place it. Now I find your picture with a new one. Question: is it a original one or an italian copy? If it's a copy, may I change it? Most pictures I placed (Henry, Winchies, Colts especially on the German DE Wiki) are originals.Yourshmaag (talk) 15:29, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. I was reacting to a red link for the missing photo, so I found one in Wikimedia Commons. I know nothing about the origin of that photo. If you have a better version, go ahead and change it, but please test that it works before saving the article. Hal Jespersen (talk) 21:29, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

It works, see Photo of Spencer carbine in my collection.hmaag (talk) 10:00, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Go ahead and fix it. I was simply trying to re-word what was there, as it was "translingish" and I'm sure my confusion would be typical. Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:03, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Colt SAA
I had a few too many windows open and undid the wrong edit...on the wrong article...I realized what I had done and put it back. Sorry if it confused you.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 15:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Hans, it is listed in that source (Adler) and two of the Wilson books, personally the short bbls are my favorite models to collect and I almost always say "Sheriff's Model", but have seen the "Banker's" and "Storekeeper's" in the literature. I'll work on getting the Buntline back in, you know with as much controversy on that one, it might merit its own article! Have a great New Year! Love your contribs to that article, may need your help on the Lightning/Thunderer piece if you get a chance!--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 15:16, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Colt Frontier Six-Shooter
Regards the Talk:Colt Frontier Six-Shooter and the related article, I verified the moved material in the Colt Single Action Army revolver article. I then deleted the "Colt Frontier Six-Shooter" text and created a redirect to the "Colt Single Action Army" article. Thanks for taking a look at my suggestion and moving the text. There were over 500 edits on the "Frontier Six-Shooter" article, that's a lot for a stub.--TGC55 (talk) 12:53, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Colt Single Action Army
I reordered the SAA article and cleaned up some of the sourcing, if you get a minute let me know what you think.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 01:49, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Mike, Excellent job.
 * Remarks: US Army Trials for the SAA ended with the „Ordnance Notes No. V“, June 27th 1873, by Captain John R. Edie, National Armory Springfield. (Source: Documents published page 395 in "A History of the Colt Revolver" 1940 by Charles T. Haven & Frank A. Belden ) So Trials 1872 / 1873 will be correct.


 * Prototypes of the SAA were (source: Colt Single Action Army Study, New Discoveries 2003 by Kenneth Moore ISBN 1-931464-07-3):
 * 44 / NM 1872 < marking on frame (finished early 1872)
 * S / 1 (Shipped June 1872);
 * S / 2 (first test revolver cal .44 Russian, shipped November 1872 to Springfield Armory).
 * Production: 1 to end, (first one shipped March 1. 1873)

Your recent editing history at Revolver shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

The Vetterli rifle
Hi, I noticed that you were the one who introduced the description of the Vetterli rifle on the bolt action page, where you describe it as the first military repeating bolt action rifle. Due to this description, I was wondering if you knew who was the first to produce a repeating bolt action rifle, as the Vetterli rifle is the earliest bolt action repeating rifle I know for certain existed. However, I have heard of a muzzle-loading bolt action repeating rifle called a smith that was apparently produced sometime around the American civil war, though I haven't been able to find anything concrete on this weapon. Any help on this front would be much appreciated, thanks.SQMeaner (talk) 23:24, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
