I'm SO GLAD someone stepped up and purchased this national treasure.
A little 4 O steel wool with some oil on it, and that Colt will clean up just fine.A couple hand-me-downs from my father as his shooting days are pretty much behind him. A Colt Model M1917 and what I think is a S&W Model 17? Despite some pitting the S&W has decent blue on it. The Colt... well it looks like you'd expect a well used revolver over 100 years old to look like. Love 'em.

The barrel is a Gorilla Machining 5.5” 5.56 NATO that I milled the threads down and chamfered.What caliber and barrel length? It has a barrel, I assume?
Wow. Any range report or pictures? I'm guessing about a 3 foot fireball.The barrel is a Gorilla Machining 5.5” 5.56 NATO that I milled the threads down and chamfered.
LOL!! Giant fireball is exactly correct. It’s such a useless violent weapon. I have lots of pictures throughout the build. Maybe I’ll make a new post about it, really rustle some jimmie’s.Wow. Any range report or pictures? I'm guessing about a 3 foot fireball.
Useless... But FUN. Gotta be loud as all hell too. Bad guy would probably die from shock more than anything.LOL!! Giant fireball is exactly correct. It’s such a useless violent weapon. I have lots of pictures throughout the build. Maybe I’ll make a new post about it, really rustle some jimmie’s.
That would be an outdoorsman.A couple hand-me-downs from my father as his shooting days are pretty much behind him. A Colt Model M1917 and what I think is a S&W Model 17?
