so being made before heat treated cylinders , is it safe to shoot modern ammo ? I have 32 s&w and 32 long . haven't shot it yet tho. I had a gun smith look and he replaced the cyl lock and a spring that holds the plunger for the hand .
thank you for your response . the thing that is confusing to me is the last patent date on the barrel is dec. 29 1914 . the ser # on the bottom of the barrel is preceded by an 'r' and except for that is the same as the one on the grip frame .
