10-5 Skinny Barrel

[O2Guy]

I recently picked up a 10-5 with the skinny barrel. The nickel is faded pretty bad due to bad storage over the years but, I don't think the thing has ever been fired. Only a little bit of powder residue around every other chamber on the face of the cylinder and hardly any around the forcing cone area. It's got a very smooth action and locks up tighter than a bank vault. Should be a good shooter.

That's really nice. I bet a little Mother's Mag Polish will have it looking as good as new. Congrats.

Congratulations! The plain old Model 10 has become my favorite gun.

Half and hour and some Mother's mag wheel polish would bring that nickel back to life in a big way. However, I'm guessing it's a refinish due to the nickeled hammer and trigger.
