I'm going to try to run this project concurrently with the restoration of a parts gun 1898 Marlin 12ga., but I'm sure I'll take pictures along the way. First step is probably going to be a couple weeks soaking in penetrating oil, though. If I can get the breach and cylinder unstuck by soaking, it's a good start. After that, it goes into the electrolysis tank. In theory, I know what I'm working with by that point and whether to keep working towards mechanical function or if it is only ever going to be a shelf sitter. 90% of the time, where I hike in the woods, the only problems are snakes and poachers, as the hogs and big cats aren't likely to be a bother, so I figure the .32 S&W would be right at home. I've never considered owning one of these models, so I know relatively little about them, but am trying to read every post here mentioning them.
