Here are the barreled barrel-less model 10's I got from J&G
sales.
I had a 4" barrel and one of this Forum's members was gracious
enough to sell me a couple 2" barrels. It took me 2 times to get
him the check because the first time I didn't sign it.
My third gun showed up on 30 May 20 and I barreled the 2 guns
that needed them. I shot them and after tweaking one to get it
to top dead center so it wouldn't shoot a foot right at 30 yards,
all three are good to go.
I don't have a planishing hammer like Steelslaver suggested but
using a 4 ounce ball peen I minimized Century International's
obtrusive lazer ingraved importers mark.
The picture of the revolver in the vice shows a way I found to
keep me from filing the top strap as I adjusted a cylinder gap.
I cut a piece of 1/2 inch hard copper tube and after sawing it
and tapping it out flat it acts quite well as a file stop. I know
real gunsmiths probably have a much better way to do it.
The top gun has a replacement grip panel that I "think" is a
10-5 grip. I'm going to buy good years for it.
All I can say is this has been a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind going
to the school of trades on Hoyt St in Denver to learn how to do
this for real. But if I did, that would mean going behind the lines.
I can't do that any more....
