Just to be clear. I think the frrame could be repaired. It will never be like new. I believe it would be fine for a round like the 45 colt, 38 special. I wouldn't sell it. I have always wondered what it would take to blow up a 45 colt cylinder. I have a couple spare cylinders. Keep thinking of building a steel frame to hold barrel and cylinder and just keep loading hotter and hotter till cylinder lets go, firing it remotely. A frame like this would work. You could actually just screw in a junk barrel and weld the crack barrel and all.

Let me know if you decide to junk the frame.

I am betting itt would take around 24 gr of 2400
