If you think it is smooth now. Get the inside of the frame deburred, and all the trigger and hammer and sear mechanisms smoothed. Then put a spring kit in it.

Now that is smooth as silk...

Post by: b.roberts on September 21, 2012, 08:51:42 PM: I have got the original one in 45 colt. The insides have been slicked up, throats opened up, and the forcing cone reamed. It is a great gun. Used to load it hot, but now a 280 grain cast bullet on top of 8-9 grs of unique or universal takes care of most my shooting.
