defects
This should have been in another thread...sorry.
Does anyone remember what the ASM box looked like? I bought a Colt 1851 kit at a LGS 30 years ago, and all I remember was that the lid to the box was a dull red with black printing, I think.
I started to finish this kit, only to find that when the cylinder locked in place, you could not put a wood dowel down the barrel and into tne cylinder chamber. As I remember it, there was about an eighth inch mismatch.
I didn't know what to do, and got another gun. I still see the dealer at LGS's. Paid $50 for the kit. Box full of problems for a first kit gun.
I think I traded it to a local gunsmith for my Navy Arms that was in his junk box, with one scored cylinder chamber. Don't remember how much I paid him.
