I found a 45 Colt Mountain gun barrel on Gone-broker and,
bought it. $183.00 Holy Cow.

But now that I have installed it on my 657 convertible it looks good.
Worth the trouble and cost.

The original project;

Horse of a different color / 657 of a different caliber.

I would rather have a 45 Colt barrel with its 6 prominent lands and grooves.
It will definitely shoot lead bullets better than the ACP barrel
with its 5 shallow lands designed for jacketed ball.


Here it is now. Can you tell it Didn't start life this way?




















And that cylinder I cut for moon clipped ACP.

It will also chamber 45 Colt with no issues.










Good luck with your projects.

I *really* like how that came out! Great job.

Shoulders of the frame where it meets the bbl?

The ejector rod and the barrel is on straight. Very nice job, Theo
