I really love top breaks and it looks like I'm gonna be receiving an older somewhat broken .38 safety hammerless. From the sounds of it, it's got a smashed firing pin return spring and maybe some other firing pin issues. Likely dry fired without empty cases. Found a replacement firing pin bushing/spring/firing pin, my understanding is that the firing pin requires fitment?
The grips are broke and I was wondering if anyone knew what size grips they were, I've seen one with J-frames grips and was wondering if they were compatible, looking to make put MD elk grips on it. I'll be sure to update the thread with some photos when I receive it in a couple weeks. Thanks for any information you can send my way!
I'm interested in having it cut down to a 2" or 1.875" barrel and would like the people's opinions on that, I understand the bicycle guns are subject to alot of fakery and I'm not looking to do that, just to have a bicycle gun for my own enjoyment without paying the premium of the authentic ones. Are there any smiths that work on these old double action Smiths? I've seen a thread on the colt forum where a member used a hacksaw to make his Iver Johnson model but would rather not do that.
