Been lurking for a very long time, and really appreciate the knowledge that is available from the members here!
On to the question... I bought a Pietta 1858 "target " model for the express purposes of modification... the barrel has been shortened to 4.5" front sight recieved a modern upgrade, howell conversion cyl...etc
Now, I've dovetailed the latch for the lever, but the thickness of the barrel had me pretty shallow to were I felt better silver solderin it in, i placed the latch at the exact point were the pin clears the cylender, so I need to hindge the pin, I've seen a couple of distant pictures, but am hoping someone that's done this could jump in with the best way?
Thanks in advance from the Socialist
