In my hunt for a c&b pistol I came across some basket cases, along with some fine firearms.
One that I have a question about is a 58 Remington by Uberti that has a score (scratch) in the blue all the way around the cylinder (from the cylinder lock up). Is that common? I took it as a symptom of something wrong in the guts or a owner who didn't pay much attention.
He didn't want a whole lot for the pistol, which is in good shape--doesn't seem to have been used much, but that scratch was unsightly and baffling.
Sorry if I'm talking y'all's ears off with questions. I'm returning to black powder after a 30-year absence.
