Well fellas, finally got my '60 back from the GOON! I am amazed at his work! The action is smoother than glass.....I like my '58 Remmy, but this thing is just awesome. Firing bluing is just beautiful. This is by far the best looking and handling big iron I own. Just installed a set of Treso nipples to try her out either tomorrow or next week. If you remember Brush Hippies video with his '51 Navy, my 1860 has the same modifications. From what I can remember he did the following:
-bolt block
-hammer stop
-arbor set screw
-cap rake (pin to block spent caps from falling into the action)
-hammer stud to remove slop which also gives a consistent sight pic
-isolated the arbor to eliminate vibration
-fixed all screw heads, hardened, polished and fire blued
-reworked bolt head to eliminate damage to the locking notches, as well as lightening the bolt significantly
-.002 barrel/cylinder gap
