Hi,
I am trying to learn more about the rifling of the Colt 1851 revolvers - originals only.
I know for sure that the standard rifling was a seven- groove left hand gain twist rifling.
However, were there ever Colt 1851's produced with a right hand twist?
Perhaps there are technical oriented collectors out there who might have an opinion on the matter. If so, I would be glad to hear about your thoughts on the subject.
Thanks.
