Project Description

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/2 scale Colt 1855 Root revolving rifle that was started and never finished by master miniature maker Emil Ripoli of Washington State, probably 30 – 40  years ago.  You can see a near finished one on my website under sporting rifles.  This project includes the barrel, lever catch, forearm wedge retainer, frame, loading lever & rammer, cylinder, nipples, cylinder pin, & retaining screw.  Some of the parts are near finished, some are still a little rough & will need final finishing & polishing.  A really neat project for the ambitious wannabe miniature maker!  There is probably a good 500 hours of work already done here!  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
