Default Ruger Revolver

I lucked into an unfired5.5"Ruger Old Army C&B revolver in a private sale yesterday.Since Ruger recentlydiscontinued the ROA's, many peoplewish they had bought one previouslyincluding myself. Especiallydesireableis this 5.5" model.
I alsoreceived a good deal ona stainless R&D.45LCconversion cylinder that hasseparate firingpins for each chamber.
This ROA alsoincluded aBelt Mountain replacement cylinderpin thatcompletely replaces the loading lever when shootingeither thepercussion or the conversion cylinder.
And for someinexplicable reason, I really like the "good numbers" thatare on thisROA.
