Nice!.....Good Job!

Take the lock off (the part with the hammer connected to it) and on the inside you will see all the parts that hold the hammer back and make it drop when you pull the trigger. The sear is the part that the trigger knocks the hammer off of (or that the hammer rests on). There should be a small screw there that you can adjust for the ammount of clearance there is before the hammer falls off the sear. This will lighten the pull on your trigger.

That job looks beautful pal. I have always wanted to get my had on one of these guns. My friend has one and it is a hoot to shoot.
Did you think of browning the barrel instead of bluing? That would give a little more character. Just a thought. :wave: |
Not all locks have all of these parts. But here's a pretty good guide.

Ya, I really want to but am a little worried about getting the barrel hot enough. I thought bluing would be easier for now. Now, if some of the experts would chime in on some tricks, I might consider it.
Semisane Thanks for the pics of the lock, that is very helpful. How about it guys? Do we have any experts or guys that have done the process of browning a barrel. |
I don't know anything about browning a barrel but in my opinion it looks like rust. Where as a deep dark bluing is just plain beautiful to look at. Especially when you've done it yourself.

lookin good, nice work!

![]() Unkocked The sear adjustment screw is on the top right of the tumbler. It's the screw with a coil spring on it. |
