I'm looking for an old style/western/cavalry long-barrel (12+ inches) six shooter that I can modify. I've been scouring the internet for a while now with no luck.
If it could come with a wooden/faux wood handle it would be MOST benificial.
THANKS!

Can't get any more classic than the Peacemaker. You want the Bruntline special 12 inch barrel I suppose?
Anything bigger and you move on to bicycle rifles and revolving rifles instead of revolvers.
You know it just clicked in my head. You want this for the NCR ranger outfit right?
Then you need the 7.5 inch barrel 1873 Colt Calvalry model Peacemaker the thing was based on. Here's a good cheap replica. Can get it in a variety of finishes but I think nickel was what they used in the game IIRC.
1873 Replica Calvary 7.5 “ Barrel, Nickel - NON FIRING SINGLE ACTION REVOLVERS - Replica Guns - Replica Guns, Swords and Collectible Weapons - Blank-Guns-Depot.com
Just an FYI, the official name for the Colt Peacemaker (which is also a legit name) is the Colt Single Action Army (Colt SAA for sort). The companies who make replicas (other than Colt) have to use different terminology to avoid copyright infingement. For example, my fully functional Uberti replica is called an 1873 Cattleman.
Righto, but everytime I think Colt Army my mind drifts to the Colt Navy and I go off on a cap and ball tangent.
Denix Replica Pistols
Scroll down a little past halfway down the page, you can pick up a metal and wood denix replica for about $60. I've ordered from them before. I have a colt navy, and a quickdraw army, and a cavalry model, among others.
These folks have some of the best prices on denix replicas on the net.
EDIT: apologies, I misread your post. I thought you wanted something you could turn into a buntline.

What's your price range?Old Mr Magic said:
I've done some digging on these in the past, cheap models are all over the internet. You'll have to pay up a bit for a higher end replica (what else is new
Do a search on Single Action Army, I'm sure some other threads will have good info
HTH

Sigma, you hit the nail on the head.
I guess I should've been more specific. I need a 357 revolver (although it doesn't have to be a 357) that I can turn into this:

I don't really have a price range, but i'd hate to alter a $50-$100 replica.
Dang, thought that you were going for the promo art version.
The hunting revolver and Sequoia were based on kind of a mashup between the Magnum Research BFR in .45-70 and the Old Model Ruger Blackhawk in .44 mag but with an old old style hex barrel on the front.
They use .45-70 in the game which is weird because the cylinder is too small for that on the model.
I guess for the price you're looking for you won't find a metal replica. You could try just sourcing your frankenparts on Gunbroker. No FFL transfers for parts and some parts you need are dirt cheap, so why not get the real deal?
Oh and an old school Blackhawk just because I love that style.
That Blackhawk is SWEET!!! Makes me want to play cards and call somebody a "cuss."
All the revolvers below have functional moving parts but won't fire bullets.
For $70 there's the 1860 Civil War Revolver Replica.
Also a Denix M1861 Navy Issue Brass Revolver looks mad-hot for $67 (although it's not Mal or Jayne's gun, I think this would easily turn into a Firefly style pistol, just add a laser and a optical site!)
A Lemat is about $80 to $90

All this Ruger talk and I forgot my own baby!
I'm gonna make the gun I need from scratch, but i'll use my Ruger: Super Redhawk as a model.
