In my last post, Tango Juliet remarked I was in a S&W rut. I beg to differ sir!
This afternoon an automobile approached stately manor. As soon as the wheels hit my driveway, my property values went up 20%, the children within a three block radius all became well above average, velvet ropes parted, champagne fell from the sky...etc.
Why? Because according to my friend: "Drop in grip safety my A$$!"
A Kimber 1911 something. Got it back together and as soon as he left, everything went back to normal.
Well except for this little project.
A little Colt Scout variant. She sounded like a gravel truck. So first the usual minimally invasive stuff. Let it soak in some CLP overnight.

Can't wait to shoot this Revolver this weekend!
That's a nice one Keads! All four clicks nice and sharp! And it looks like it cleaned up pretty good! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's some dimple in the brass!

Thanks NFO! I think it cleaned up nicely too.
ReplyDeleteDirtCrashr- Yeah! That's a dent for sure.
Brooke- Thanks!
Dann- I like the cleaner. It does a good job on parts cleaning and brass as well. The heater and larger capacity make it worth it over the cheaper smaller one.
Present company (equipment) aside, S&W is not a rut. It's a groove!
ReplyDeleteEd- LOL! I agree!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! You may detour to S&W, but you always seem to come back to the Pony. :)
ReplyDeleteBrther, you do nice work!
ReplyDelete45er- Yes I do don't I?
ReplyDeleteSix- Thanks!
You know when the hammer cocks it sounds like C-O-L-T right? Big Grin!
