Purchased 2 new 1872 open top revolvers, one from Cimarron and the other from Taylors. Cleaned them both and checked bore, which had a satin look, as opposed to an almost mirror like look of other firearms I have.
Do these require polishing to a bright mirror like finish? If so, how is it done?
Played with my H&R single shot w/ejector. Shot brass shot shells with a "square load" of Goex 2F. The gun "froze" after 7 rounds, wouldn't open. Had to let cool for about 15 min before could use again. Anyone experience same problem. Had similar issue with my hammered double barrel, but after more shots.
