"Artillery Colts" came earlier than I thought

The 1895 "Report of the Secretary of War .... " had this gem in it.

I mistakenly believed the 'story', that the shortened "Artillery Colts", were a stopgap that was implemented during the Philippine campaigns.

I also believe the "stopgap" story to be the only one.  Live & learn.  Now I want one of those dead-ringer repros even more.

Gentlemen,
I once owned two(2) of the so called "Artillery Colt", but alas I sold them along with my remaining Krags.  Now, I am the proud owner of one of the new repros.  Very nice, but there are a few things that are not quite historically correct.  But what the hey, my little darlin shoots quite accurately.  I am loading the ctgs. to Frankford Arsenal specs.
