coating If he does coat the gun,pay close attention to the tightly fitting parts.anything that fits tight now will fit even tighter after coating,don,t count on letting the gun work itself loose it will bind up.you can use masking tape to cover the area you need too.

i would guess mag spring,first and second fed ok than this?check the mag for old oil and dirt.these usally feed and shoot like top when everything's good, great gun there.

RC's correct, your lever's bent. it's not a hard fix but it's important for lock-up and it does happen a lott.

I would try to find a barrel before cutting the 4 inch at all. Gun Parts Corp had some and might still have them, i know they have model 29 .44 mag stuff i just finnished doing a 2 inch build for myself(Wow)flame Throwing little Sob.It's worth calling them anyway to find out,good luck with the...

Hand lap and it takes about 1 1/2 hours so about $125.00 fitting only.

10 years puts it at 112 and a left hand action is good to find for us left-handers, yes pic's would be good but if you can get a ser. number you can go from there.the price is not bad for what it is.it would be good to do a test fire at least to check out the chamber but if it looks like it's in...

It could be something worth doing, we have some used parts that work fine and our rib man has some parts also he sells to customers that need them.you can call and talk to john tippen about the parts if you want to.There are some key areas that need to be checked out before spending money on...
