Damn! I have heard of brassers shooting loose with extensive use, but I have never heard of the cylinder pin pulling right out.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

neglect and abuse anything enough and eventually it'll let loose. I put it in the back of the gun cabinet, might run across one that isn't as bad that I can use parts off it.

Use it to make a cool shadowbox display, plastic skeleton hand wrapped around the grip, broken gun, yea, that tells a story :)

well you did a nice job on the stocks (actually the whole thing) and learned a few things.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Now you got me thinking JYD... a Confederate flag background, pistol with the bony hand wrapped around it, a Confederate Officers hat pin and a few .44 round balls... :2cents:

I bought one of Traditions Pietta '60's three years ago, it's packed away someplace still new in the box in it's oil filled shipping bag. I don't remember were I put it. The price was too good to pass up at the time .

Yep... :brolleyes:

I do so hate the "waiting period" before my stuff gets here. One of the advantages of buying in person I guess. Sure glad I don't live in one of them Communist states that have a waiting period on firearms!

Can't wait to see what it is! I've been drooling over the 1858 remington design :)
Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston

Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

1937 Izhevsk

1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms :D
