Found this guy today and decided to give N-Frames anther try. It's a 1937 'brazilian' smith .45. Got a great deal on it but the reason why may be a big one. The Monekys at Century got more than a little heavy handed when putting their stamp on the bottom
Of the barrel. So much so that you can see a dent inside the bore! Anyone see a safety issue with shooting it? It'll probably be a cast bullet shooter, although I seem to remember that you have to run pretty hard bullets with the shallow rifling in these barrels. If it's an issue, it looks like I'll be making my short barreled big bore I've wanted for so long. Did some quick searching and I have had zero luck finding another barrel for it yet. I may just keep my eyes open for that option. Now, to see if I can find those few moon clips I know I had somewhere...
