    '83-'84 Service 6 Cycle Problems

    Vaquerro grips may have been mildly hyperbolic. I think they're SP101 grips, or something of a similar size. This guy is a 70+ year old cowboy, still working his own cattle. I don't think he wants to go into it for Cerakote (tm) money. I mean, I'm not set up to do them, so it's not...

    When it arrived, it also had some Vaquero wooden grips on it. Pretty much a mess, all in all.

    Three shots of the cylinder. The front doesn't look (to me) like it's dragging too much. I've noticed that (at least) two models of this cylinder exist. This one has the flat side of the ejector aligning with the alignment rods on the cylinder (and seems to come with the "S" proof mark...

    I appreciate the reference. I'll put that in my Amazon shopping cart. $45 will have to wait until after Christmas though. @hittman I was referring to Classic Firearms. Their URL is cfnparts . @stonebuster Yes. It had been painted. Forest/OD Green. And the way it's coming off would...
