Project Update

The gun needs to be refinished. I made an attempt at painting it with high temp black paint. I didn't like the way it looked so I stripped it all off and ended up with what you see below. I also decided to make some grips for it as the plastic ones make a cheap gun look even cheaper. 

So here is what I have done so far:

With a file I rounded all the sharp edges. All edges were sharp.

Stripped off old finish and paint, haven't done the cylinder yet and I probably will strip it soon. Polished everything.

While cleaning it up I broke off one of the screw attachments that goes through the hammer and acts as hammer pivot. I fixed that with a 5/32 drill bit and taper roll pin. I need to clean that up.

Started on the wood grips. They still need some work for final fit. 

Here is where we are now:
