Hello All.
Remember this thread??
Back in December I picked up this orphan 625-6.
The barrel has been snipped down to a nifty 3.2in.
(Think 3" 625 but with a full length ejector rod)
But, it had been sand blasted within an inch of its life.
This picture thread chronicles its life with me doing a bit of restoration.
Regards and happy holidays
Well, I picked the gun up from my shop yesterday morning and throughout
the day while working at the pawn shop I fiddled with it.
I found that using a bronze brush on a stainless gun will turn it
a gold color.
So I then worked on the finish with a stainless steel brush.
I also found that the front sight is silver soldered on and is there
for keeps.
I had this unfluted cylinder that I installed on a Mountain gun
some time ago, but it didn't look right. So, I fitted it to this
chopped 625-6 and voila' , here it is.
A taller rear sight assembly to coincide with the tall patridge front
sight blade. I 'teardrop shaped the hammer spur. And gave the action
a good smoothing out.

I took it to the shop today and had my way with it on the polishing wheel.
I use a 1/4 horse power 6 in. bench grinder with a muslin wheel mounted
on one end with the guards removed. I use a white wax rouge stick.
( All available on the cheap at home depot)
Disassembly, polishing, and re-assembly, 2 hours total.
Here it is, polished within an inch of its life.
The front sight assembly still needs to be blued like the rear sight.
