1855 Colt Revolving Carbine

[Steve Flanagan]

Hey guys
Picked up a fairly rare Colt 1855 fevolving carbine at this past weekends show. It's rough and needs springs repaired and restoration. I cannot find any good schematics of action or takedown instructions for it. Any of you guys have a dusty old book with this info in it? Thought about taking it to Louisville but also want to restore it correctly and do not have time to order parts before shoe.

That is really neat! Thanks for sharing!
I don't have a book with this piece detailed but I did compare on the net with a Colt 1855 sidehammer revolver and they look the same. If so, there are schematics if you google and search images. I found one but the site is blocked for me at work but I think it might help you.

Good Luck with it!
