Hello
I recently acquired this revolver.Serial 291xx
In .44 caliber.The mechanism is tight and crisp.
It had not been fired in a very long time,the bore was caked in dust and the nipples frozen in place. The muzzle was in terrible condition with the crown corroded and peened in.
I gave the muzzle a few strokes with a flat file.I cleaned the bore,then honed it with a cast slug coated in valve grinding paste.
Unfortunately the nipples I bought are a bit small for #11 caps.So I will have to buy some more.
