as i was prepping a single wide with tip-out[you know she's an oldie]
a friend of mine owns the land, and the woman abandoned her trailer.
so it's a charity job[funny thing about friends/buddy's] ,but the whole lot will be cleaned off, so i went 'shopping' in the 3 sheds on the property,so i'm rattin' around an find a blued3"barrel tarus6 shooter rusted bad from the hammer/grip[i mean the mainspring housing rusted /swelled so bad it cracked /split some wood on the grips]
i bought a gallon of w-d 40 and soaked it over night[completly]
this morning i went to work on the thing[i had to drill out the side-plate screw-head that lived under the grips] any way she was missing the hand/pawl and spring[would anyone have an insight on parts? my 'smith'
is elk hunting] i have got it back to shooting form[ha! i had to smack the cylinder release with a hammer/wood block to break it free]
i'm thinking it's late 50's/early60's vintage, and has laid out in a box of crap
since the 80's[time lined photo's/letters etc.] with a hole in the roof right over it.
color me strange,but it's me favorite pistola of the evening :beer:
