Does anyone know if any of the manufacturers of old west minis separate weapons? I'd love to be able to get some various weapons for conversions, markers, or just for decoration.

Thanks

Brian

Reaper does some, and Tango01 posted some sprues of sixguns awhile back, but I can't remember who makes them.

I need these as well!

Conquest makes a sprue of western weapons. IIRC it features a revolver, a lever action rifle, a percussion rifle, a knife and a couple of warclubs. Email Eric, see whether he'll sell you a few.

I have a load of Old Glory Mexican Revolution figures, and the mounted types are cast without a right hand to take separate weapons with cast-on hand. These include Mauser rifles, Winchester rifles and carbines, revolvers, sabres, and bugles.

There was a severe imbalance between the quantity of Winchesters and Mausers supplied in favour of the latter, so I asked OG if they could help restore the balance, which they obligingly did.

Oddly, many of the Winchesters (rifle and carbine versions)I received were handless, and there were also a few Sharps carbines thrown into the mix. I don't know which range these pieces come from, but perhaps you could give OG a try.

I have so many spare Mausers I've carved the hands off some and based them as morale failure markers.
