I blued my Lyman 1858 Remington kit gun about 2 months ago. I worked on it for several weeks on and off to get it smooth enough for a good finish. After I finished it I took it to the range and was very pleased with as it now shoots to point of aim.
Well last week I took it out of the safe to check on it to find that it had a bad case of rust and was seized up. I had a very hard time getting the cylinder pin out. I couldn't pull it out by hand so I used a punch and hammer to remove it.
When I got it out the forward end was bent about 20 degrees. I have been trying to massage back into shape without much luck.
I have been searching for a new one without much luck. Any suggestions.
