In case you can not tell today was a kBob drives the school bus to Fencing and sits around thinking for three hours, so I am just full of querries.
What with all the ferrin revolvers folks have been asking about I have been wondering about tuning actions. Maybe it cost more to get a Philapino or Italian to do handwork on the small inner workings and hidden mechanisms of a gun to be imported than some think. Whatever, my understanding is the tagalog speaking revolvers are ok (lower case ok as I understand it) but hardly up to US atandards.......and affordable.
My asking about the Pietta 1955 was after ding research on last summer's posts on all the April and June info releases and folks commentary, where in folks opine that the guts of a Pietta attempt at Snake making would be less than comparable to original Python internals.
OK DOugh Key lets say they get close to say Police Positive or Official Police then on the internals. Or atleast get the basic shapes right.
I am old enough to remember when PPC was the game closest to the sort of Action/ Combat shooting popular to day. Yes, I recently got all the dinosaur meat out from between my molars. Back in the day there were a host of PPC pistol smiths around the country.....I have a S&W worked over by a minor one that is scary smooth even after the decades. These guys had all sorts of tricks, from minor polishing here and there to adding rollers and such to various parts.
I seem to recall that some one once reported great improvements with little than polishing contact points and then Gold Plating the effected parts. Apparently the hard slick surface of the 14 karat plating made things butter smooth and fooled folks into thinking pulls were less than measured.
Anyone know about plating trigger mechanisms?
