Not saying I like it or dislike it...But, if it were in a glass case at an art museum, with a sign saying "this is a real gun and shoots real bullets", the art world would love it.
 
Made some pink bullets and loaded them in Nickle cartridge cases.


The barrel is rotating under recoil. It was pinned with a piece of drill stock, so not sure what's going on here.

Also noted that the cylinder was not locking properly. It has not malfunctioned in firing. Will look at paint in the cylinder bolt stops first.

I'll have a better look at it tomorrow at the gun shop.

This revolver is very accurate.

I'm really not sure if it's this firearm, or me shooting well with a reflex.

This whole thing began as a way of discovering if I would gain anything from shooting with a reflex on a revolver. I believe I have. So far I have less than $25 invested in this project.

I'm going to shop for a nice Model 15. I'll mount a reflex using a Wiegand mount. I'll abstain from using any pink paint if I do.
 
The barrel has been removed, cleaned and reinstalled. Used permanent thread locker. If this fails, I'll clean it again and use JB Weld. I'm still not sure why the pin didn't hold it.

I installed an oversize bolt, which seemed to cure the problem with cylinder rotation.

Cleaned, Oiled, Inspected.

Ready for another range trip.

I'm not a good photographer, but I try.
 
Considering sending it to the Custom Shop to have the cylinder cut for moon clips.

If you do I want to see the custom shops reaction when they open up that box.
 
Some peoples kids!:what: Waaay too much spare time on your hands there I would say.:neener::D What is next---Minions, Barney, Sponge Bob, Ariel, or Cinderella? You might have just sparked the next firearms related cottage industry.;)
