Re: Colt Boa , low cost alternative to Python.
The Colt Boa is often thought of as a special version of the Colt Python revolver but, in fact, the Boa was a cross between a Python and a Trooper Mk V. This means that the Boa features the improvements of the Colt Trooper Mk V, including the improved smoother trigger with its shorter lock-time. The Colt Boa is a rare revolver and much sought after by serious collectors of Colt revolvers. The Boa was made in a limited run of only 1,200 revolvers for the Lew Horton Distributing Company in Massachusetts: 600 were made with 4″ barrels, and then 600 with 6″ barrels. The Lew Horton Distributing Company then sold the revolvers through their own outlets.Corruption is the default behavior of government officials. JPC

It's certainly a fine looking wheel gun, but that's machine gun money.

Looks straight enough to be machined, also looks like it could be a plate to work on the internals
