Rev an Adam

I worked in a Gun Shop a while back. My main job was to keep customers away from the 'smith so he could get some work done, I was the reception commitee, but I also did some of the grunt work around the shop.

During heavy work periods I did cleaning jobs, buffed barrels for bluing, installed scopes, bore sighting, and custom re-loads, etc. ad nauseam.

The only Smiths that I seen that hit the shop were Model 19's with cracked forcing cones. Any other Smiths that came in were for minor repairs only, like cleaning.

The 19's were really suseptible to hot loading. They found them to be undigestable in large portions.

Best wishes, Bill
