1891 Quality 1

1890 Quality 1

Both transition guns but w/some notable differences, square barrel lug (versus rounded), narrower frame(?) w/more pronounced and rounded bars on the 1890 gun, breech-balls look different too.



Barrel measuring tool at MWReynolds, ala Tony Galazan (as promised Dr. Drew). There's a reason for the almost 4lb tubeset weight here. Barrels measure between 35 to 45 thousands almost front to back. Thinnest spot was 32 thousands.



Yeah, this is laminated steel. Looking forward to the refinish.
