what is the cost to have an expert

oldgunsale

i have all the parts for a 1873 receiver, how can i get an expert to put them together cheaply, or can i do it myself with a schematic. has anyone done this themself, was it to hard or time consuming? thanks

The Model 1873 is relatively simple to reassemble. There are (I believe) schematics that can be found online that can help guide you through it as well (try Numrich).

What sort of 1873? Lever action or trap door? Or?

I thought he was talking about a Colt pistol.

Since when did Colt build an SAA with a receiver[;)]

I thought that the frame of the revolver was the receiver.
You mean a pistol does not have a receiver?

I've always thought the same thing, the receiver is the part that gets the serial number so I just assumed thats what it was too......

OK, just in case you are serious about this, No, a revolver does not have a "receiver"... it has a "frame" and a "cylinder", both of which are usually serialized.

I often see the word "receiver" used the same as "frame" in reference to a revolver, such as in this ad:

I admit, I know a lot more about rifles than about pistols.
I guess you need to take us to school, Bert.

As you are well aware, there are a fair number of sellers on Gunbroker (and other websites) who do not know how to accurately describe what they are trying to sell[:0]
