Who's Gary? No, I'm not familiar with the Faterpg forum, though I found SotC to not be my cuppa, so I guess that's not surprising.
BTW, in case you're curious, the following period catalogues were used to provide details for the Western files:
Great Western Gun Works, 1872
P. Powell & Son, 1875
James Bown & Son, 1876
E. Remington & Sons, 1877
Homer Fisher, 1880
Plus the highly regarded
Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms, 8th Edition., Major F. Myatt's excellent
Pistols & Revolvers, and a hell of a lot of painstaking research through a miscellany of other resources.
When I research something I go to great pains to obtain actual period appropriate resources, such as the catalogues above; if a resource is out by more than a few years I discount it as not being accurate enough for my tastes. You would never find me using a 1890 catalogue, for example, to reference the early-mid 1880s, let alone the 1870s or earlier. I guess I'm somewhat anal that way.
I have a similar (albeit larger) range of resources, catalogues, etc. for the 1920s and 1930s as well. In fact, in terms of resources, the 1930s collection I've amassed boggles even me.
cheers!
