Hi Matt,
The only antique finish SAA I have is my limited edition US Marshal standard length BB version. Being limited number it would command a premium though.
PM if interested and for more details

PM if interested and for more details Thank you, if it was pellet version I may have been tempted. Thank you though No problem at all mate 👍🏻 One thing I would mention though is that it is well documented on here by many users that the BB version with the smooth bore barrel shoots pellet even with the BB shells with the same or better accuracy than the pellet version. I've not discriminated between the two versions since those posts and opinions were posted a while back now. BB has the advantage of being able to shoot both ammo types very well though, whilst you can't really push BB down the pellet versions due to the grommet size on the shells and not wanting to ruin any rifling in the barrel |

Thank you, that does make sense… I guess it’s the same as the legends cowboy which is smooth bore but folk shoot pellets through them….
Let me have a think, your duke model wouldn’t normally be my first choice but does look great with the wood grips…

I have 3 smoothbore SAA and 2 rifled. My SBs are just and possibly more accurate with the right pellet. I put it down to the tight bore tubes Umarex uses with the bb version which the pellets maximise. Bit like upgrading the average AS 6.03 barrel to a tight bore 6.01 which increases accuracy of the 6mm.  |

I have 50+ tin of the econ 2 pellets so it’ll have no choice 😂 My colt gov loves them so bought in bulk as I could do a tin in a quick session!! Eek |

The What hold? Not heard of that one It’s the way WB held his pistol in the duel with Tutt. I copied it and use it for long shots with my western revolvers. I’m left handed though and it helps with my tremors.  At a distance of around 75 yards both men stopped and faced each other. Witnesses said that Tutt drew first and Hickok then raised his pistol and braced it over his arm and fired hitting Tutt in the chest |

I've found that the rifled versions prefer the 4.52mm sized pellets and the smoothbores seem to prefer the 4.49/4.50mm sized pellets. |
