Hello,
I can get this beauty at absurd price but there is a but. The reason for a low price is enormous end shake this revolver used to have. It was 'fixed' by glueing a proper width shim to the end of the frame thus reducing the end shake. It seems that JB Weld was used.
See:
As of now the gun works just fine, cylinder gap is ~0.0040", no noticeable endshake. However I have serious doubts about the ruggedness of this solution.
I'd like to hear if anyone of you tried fixing end shake this way? If so was it any good in the long term? Or just don't bother with this gun?
Thanks!
