The seller de-blued which in this case is something I would do anyway - I'm having great results with the Duracoat painting -- And I have no problem with a cheap -- even used holster -- hell I've bought brand new jeans that looked worn
Also -- look where I am -- for me -- this could be a bargain
Feature auctions start on page 1. The non-feature auctions start on page 2. Sellers a pay little more to have their auction listed as a feature auction = it will be at the beginning of any search.
Could have bought a new brass frame for 179.99. The cylinders have gone up since I last priced them but you could have bought it all brand new for 269.98

Here's a thing -- when I was just about to get my anti seize compound for the 1861 nipples -- I noticed that the 1858 nips are slightly canted outwards -
1861 cylinder --
( blue lines -- theres more spacing for the wrench to slide onto the nipple )
The wrench slips over the whole nipple --
1858 cylinder --
This cutout is interfering -- not wide enough ?
( notice the canting on the left & right nipples )
Doing a little searching -- I found this slot needs a little opening with a 1/4" sanding drum
This guy mentions it for cap loading @ T/I -- 5:56
