Microgunner Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 I mentioned this revolver in the What's on order thread.Picked it up today and here it is.It's a 6 shot .22lr single action revolver with a case colored frame, blued steel grip frame, cylinder with recessed chambers and 4.75" barrel.It has a hammer mounted firing pin like the Colt SAA and NO transfer bar.Being all steel, the same size as a .45 SAA and having such small charge holes and bore makes it pretty heavy.It is beautiful. A bargain at the $428 I paid for it.Can't wait to shoot the crap out of it.
Microgunner Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Posted April 6, 2014 I had to send it back to Taylor's. The ammo wouldn't seat deeply enough in the charge holes and dragged on the recoil shield to the point of total cylinder lock up.I thought Italian law required all firearms to be proof fired. They must've used magic cartridges to test this one then. Who knows when I'll get it back.Didn't get to fire a single round. Good thing it's pretty because that's all it's got going for it so far.
Microgunner Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 Got the revolver back today. They reamed the chambers and reblued the cylinder. Did a beautiful job. Sent six fired cases with the revolver so I'm assuming it works now. Yea!!
