Thanks for your reply, apparently everything but the cylinder is ok, nothing else is crushed, bent or warped. The filing and sanding was made only on the pitted surface of the frame, not affecting the functioning of the mechanism. I still need to confirm the model to order the right cylinder.

It would be good to leave this piece as paperweight, sparing all the hand work, but fixing this gun is really important taking into consideration that all firearm sales are completely banned in the place where I live (the criminals get all they want from the black market) and it is almost impossible to get a gun for protection of the HOME; carrying a gun without permit for personal protection in the street is penalized with 10 years in prison and there are not permits issued by authorities.

For personal protection in the street, the only way is to go in, at least, a Level NIJ III A armored car and have UN-ARMED body guards.

It is relatively possible to have guns for home protection but even for this purpose they are illegal and subject of confiscation but not penalized with prison.

Thanks.
