Very cool project and thanks for the step by step. The Indian head nickel is a cool and unique front sight idea; that's the Cheyenne Chief the white eyes call 'Two Moons' by the way, (but his name actually translates to '2nd Moon'). He was at the Battle of the Greasy Grass (The Little Big Horn).
I've had fun doing a few of these. One thing I discovered, by tapering the ejector slot in the housing, the roid can be moved over far enough to let the cylinder pin be removed and also go around the cylinder pin head for more ejector throw.
I've made several of these to adapt new model steel grip frames to old model triggers until I figured out that a .22 shell case works just as well with a groove filed in the case head to nest against the new model GF trigger spring retaining pin.
Finished snubby:
Here's a shortened and homemade flat Top .22 with steel XR3 NM grip frame and Bisley trigger:
Waiting to see yours done! Have fun,
