Fun Stuff ... WILL IT WORK AGAIN?

My nephew was out shooting in the desert and found this. He boxed it up and sent it to me.

I stuck in a pan of penetrating oil and let it soak for several weeks. Since then I have been taking it out about once a week or so and messing with it.

After about 4 weeks ...

THE SPRING STILL WORKS!!

Since that time the hammer now moves freely. My next hurdle is getting the screws and pins out so I can clean the internals and see what needs to be replaced.

I believe the chambers can be polished and bore has rust at the muzzle that will need to be removed and polished. Who knows? It may work again! Maybe .....
