BandAid

Weren’t we JUST talking about this at Regionals?

The rules state we can't have two loaded revolvers in hand at the same time. Leave CC alone please.

The quality of the finishing was about the same for the most part. The heat treating was sometimes hit or miss, because the didn't have temp gauges like we do now, and many of the parts that were hardened were done by the "Color" method. They would watch it, and when it got to the right color, they would quench it. But the finished parts were often finished by hand, and had few if any rough areas, unless it was inside, and didn't contact any other parts.

I bet at least one of them uses a Foredom Tool… to answer the OPs question, a Foredom tool with a drum, and then polishing bits… be VERY careful and do not cut the chamber or the breach ends of the barrels.

GREAT LOOKING COLLECTION! The tough part will be getting out to shoot them as much as you want with all the lock-downs and such. One question, and there is no insult intended; However, I didn't realize you could own those in Australia. Of course, you could fill a swimming pool with the amount of stuff I don't know about Australia.

If you send it back, send back the brass with it. It's always helpful to have some of the deformed brass with the firearm. Ask him if he wants some of the ammo too. That can tell you a lot too.
