Colt V-spring Adventures

A collection of posts often on colt E- and I-frame revolvers: pythons, model 357s, officer model specials, etc. Topics not limited to: action jobs, fixing Bubba-gone-wrong gunsmith mistakes, and revolver porn. And sometimes I'll wander off the reservation and type random nouns and verbs that have nothing to do with our sole purpose, because who the hell can really pay attention that long?

lathe is up and running!




The electricity guy came out today. Lathe now works!

Not super accurate, I'm getting .001 variance at two ends of a 4" cut. I think it's b/c it's not level (yet) and the chucks are not very high quality. Hopefully.

Good solid clean lathe otherwise. The only issue is that the belt is starting to tear a bit.

We shall see how well it cuts bushings...
