- This is the 3rd episode of a new series where Mike Harvey, Owner and President of Cimarron, shows you some of the original firearms in his collection and talks about them. The focus of this episode is an original 1860 Fluted McCulloch Colt.
Cimarron has reproduced an authentic copy of this unique and colorful Colt from this rare original in Mike's collection. In early 1861, after Texas had seceded from the Union and federal troops were no longer guarding the Lone Star State, the citizens realized that they would have to defend themselves against marauding Indians along their vast frontier. Veteran Indian fighter and Texas Ranger Ben McCulloch went directly to his longtime personal friend Samuel Colt to order their new 1860 "Cavalry" revolvers with the full-fluted cylinders, to arm his Texas Rangers. An order for 2,000 guns was placed with Colt and although Texas was officially a Confederate State, the company accepted the order, knowing that delivery would be difficult. Eventually two shipments totaling 1,000 revolvers, with full-fluted cylinders, were able to run past the Union blockade and delivered the Colt’s to New Orleans where they were loaded on wagons and freighted to Texas. The guns saw action with the Texas Rangers and McCulloch’s troops at the set of the Civil War. Today, an original McCulloch 1860 Army, as it is called by collectors, is a rare and highly desirable piece of Texas history! Cimarron's replica is offered in the Original Finish, as one might find a genuine McCulloch Colt, if extremely lucky!
Wonderful Colt To Have.
That he my dream gun Mike
Man this is cool
Mike, Thank you very much sharing the story on the 1860 Fluted McCulloch Colt.
Have a blessed week.
Thank you for sharing with us.
Great history lesson we wouldn't get anywhere else!!!
Nice video. Love the history. Thank you.
What a great piece of history you have there. I think I just found my next revolver.
Mike, I'm a huge fan of Cimarron Firearms and have been using your pistols exclusively for Cowboy Action Shooting (SASS) over the years. I wish I could afford to own every one of your firearms because they represent a great era of American History to me and they are so finely crafted. I want to thank you for these videos as you've shared with us your love of the history and firearms as only you can, and I continue to learn a lot from your videos. Be well and we'll see you on the next one.
Old guns are best! Thanks for the video.
Awesome!
Wonderful! Seeing a new blackpowder presentation. Especially Colt percussion!
I have an Authentic Fluted '60 with an attachable breech stock. Great fun!
Btw, I have names for all my Colts. Mainly named after rangers. Ben McCulloch, this name I gave my WH Dragoon. The fluted '60 is named after Dahlgren! Due to the Navys use of them.
I just love these videos! Please keep ‘em coming!
You always look as if your having fun doing these video's. God Bless
I can't wait until next week when my McCulloch-Colt arrives to the rancho in Wild-Alaska. Thank you, Mr. Harvey and CFAC. - Col. Montana Kid Hammer, SASS 6467-Patron
Hey Mike, I love your history lessons! Have you ever thought about making a set of Colts of the story The Lone Ranger? Clayton Moore has been my hero as long as I can remember.
If only that gun itself could talk! I wonder what stories it would tell?
Great story, Mike. BTW, when is Cimarron going to fix the search function on the website so we can find these models and check 'em out? Thanks!
I was trying to convey the attitude i got from someone there when i tried to purchase the Mc culloch. and when told you had none . i asked when they might be in and got insulted i didn't appreciate it. maybe not so much insulted as " smart assed" maybe not there intention but i took it as such.
I'm sorry to hear that. I don't understand what would have happened though. Cimarron usually doesn't get into being smart assed, but we'll have a chat with our salespeople to make sure they aren't doing anything that even rhymes with being a smart ass. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
@@cimarronFA Thank you I did end up buying a Mc Culloch Colt from Brian @ 3D guns, great guy he is an asset as an authorized dealer for you
TWO BIG THUMBS WAY UP 👍👍!!!
Just curious, but have you made a conversion for that particular revolver???? There had to have been a few after the war.
I don't think Cimarron has a conversion cylinder for these. Not a fluted one anyways. I could be wrong though! Thanks!!
@@cimarronFA You bet!
