".... unless he can push a 12"bastard across a block of 'O1'oil hardening and make that piece finally fit into a HA Linder or a Boss12b c 1899 and it dupes the orig.Perfectly"... "
Dave,
I never had a Linder or Boss in my hands (but I probably wouldn't clap-n-snap someone elses gun
) but I did make a cylinder hand from O-1 for a Colt Python when I was 21 or 22 and timed it. Crazy Colts have that two stepped hand, what a job for a kid that'd never seen it done nor could spell 'gunsmith', let alone been to a school for it or apprenticed. As I recall, I made more than one to finish that gun. :rolleyes:
