Lagopus,
That really is a cool gun you have there!!! I like it alot. I really like this Reilly, so much so I've decided to sink a little money into it, I didnt pay that much for it for starters so I have a tiny bit of room to play. It has some screws that need attention, so I will be having at least two new screw made, the hammers need some looking into, they look like they are the same, but one is black and has a little different checkering pattern on the spur, I will also have another set of fire blued firing pins made and the firing pin nuts fire blued as well, for the right gunsmith, these are some pretty easy fixes, the only other thing is the rest of the screws will be fire blued, everything else will stay as is.
I really like the lines of this Reilly, the Jones underlever along with the tall hammers compliment each other nicely, the understated engraving along with the plain wood go hand in hand. And while not the prettiest laminated steel to look at, it matches well with the rest of the gun.
