Any chance of getting some knobs made up for the 1899 revolvers? My 1899 .32-20 needs one.

I don't see why not. We'll know how the 1896 knobs came out real soon.

Two 1896 knobs and screw have been sent to a member for testing.

Any updates on knobs and screws?

The producer, Sam, of the knobs has purchased a Model 1896 to confirm his prototype knobs and screws will work properly.

He was waiting for receipt of the gun. Update soon.

Model 1896 reproduction knobs with lock screws are now available on our classified section here: 1896 Hand Ejector Rod Knob

Well... I've checked everywhere. I can't find the center pin so the knob won't help. Can we get a pin made like we got the knob/screws made?

Contact Sam who made the knobs and is selling them above in his ad. by private message. I bet he'll make you one. He now owns an 1896 so he has a center pin to copy.

Great idea! Just sent Sam a PM.

Here is my revolver now. Turns out the ejector was shortened so one could get a grip on the cylinder pin (broken) to swing out the cylinder. Sam Simmons fabricated a new ejector, pin, and knob for me. The new parts look perfectly matched IMHO. Thanks Sam!

That's a nice 1896. It came out great! Sam does excellent work.

I bought my first M 1896 from Sam. It had some corrosion where the nickel was worn/corroded away leaving dark patches on cyl and yoke in front of the cyl much worse than yours.

I used Navel Jelly to remove it and carefully polished the bare metal and it blended right in with the remaining nickel. The Naval jelly does not affect the nickel at all. Took the corrosion off the sides of the hammer as well.
I had the non-factory pearls.

Your pictures really shows the color difference between nickel and steel. I have done the same with good success, but you will never be able to match the colors even with vigorous polishing. Love that yellow glow of polished nickel. They do clean up well with lots of elbow grease.

I'll try that. Appreciate the tip.
