Thanks, Wayne. On a brighter note, the main receiver frame cleaned up pretty well, too. I'll post some before and after pics of that sometime tomorrow. And both hammers seem to wiggle on each axis, so if I could get those hammer screws out, I could remove the hammers and gently clean up the outside of the lock plates real well. But you guys have seen that one boogered up hammer screw, so you know at least one of them will be a long shot. No pun intended there.
What do you guys make of that one barrel? Do you think I'm right? Does it look like a failed weld in the original barrel lamination strips?
Best to all.
Patrick
