Hey Sean,
I'm really not too familiar with the inner workings of the Smith's, this is the only wheel gun I've ever owned. But I have considered adding another Smith and Wesson wheel gun to the collection some day.

I will post up some follow up pictures tomorrow morning when I get back home. I'm currently away for work but will get home tomorrow morning.

I'd like to get the finish polished up a little. Anyone know of a polish or polish wheel I can use to buff out some of the scratches?
 
Here are the updated pics with the new Cylinder. She's got a few scratches from when I was cleaning her, but I'm hoping I can take most of the out with some sort of polish wheel of some sorts (suggestions??), and she'll be like new! Ain't too bad now. I'm considering CCWing her now.

Wow.... very nice..... that's a great pic with the old cylinder below it.

Good on me, I just realized I have the same model.... If I was not going to
keep it before (yah right) I sure as heck am keeping it now.

As others have said you should contact the company with the story and pics.

I always wanted to do that after I smashed up my old Chevy and she still ran great.
 
Very great story and happy your heirloom is returned to you!:)

As for polish...I have used "Flitz" on all things metal for a while now, it is very mild and makes a nice shine...I use it on my reloading dies...and brass. Even on a few rough rifle chambers.

Good polish for "buffing out" light scratches. Should do the trick for you in this case.

I am still awed by those pics. and how well it came out.:what:

Quick Draw, yeah, I thought the same thing. But it was because the cartridges were rusted into the cylinders. Which is why I had to replace the cylinders.
