Most authentic SAA clone?

It has yet to develop a turn line on the cylinder, to me this says a lot about the fitting of the gun.

Turn lines are mostly caused by letting the hammer down from half cock. That leaves the bolt against the cylinder and not locked in like it would be if you fully cocked it and then lowered it. I have seen people let it down from half cock and then deliberately turn it til it locked in. Yes their guns had a deep turn line. Mine had the long cylinder pin and I ground the back of it off til it fit and looked correct.

I can't wait to get my SAA and get it tuned and modified to where it's a close as I can get to the genuine article of yesteryear.

You guys are helping me so much, thank you!

I have the Pietta 1873 from Cabellas and love it, I think they are going for $400.

I did a trigger job on it and it is one of my favorite pistols.
