I picked up a 6.5" Old Vaquero in .44-40 LNIB for $400 last year. After reading the Lee Martin article about undersized throats/oversized barrels (http://singleactions.com/files/4440Vaqueros.pdf) and fearing I might have a dog, I took it to Gary for light work (PPP + red dot mount). Shoots like a dream with factory stuff, although regrettably I have yet to work up anything else for it.

...which is all to say that while my me-too post is useless in aiding your research, I heartily approve of the concept.
