[QUOTE="44minimum, post: 2287641, member: 2388"] I did, sort of. It was an 1851 colt Navy pistol and all of the hard stuff had already been done, fitting the cylinder, timing, all of that type stuff. I had to fit the grips, sand and polish the brass grip frame, polish and blue the barrel, and there may have been a couple of other little things I have forgotten. I was 15 at the time, in a hurry to get it together and shooting, and it turned out just fine. Some of the kits out there don't require much fitting, and some of them seem to think that you are gunsmith and each and every part must be filed, fitted, sanded and polished before it will go into place. Don't get in a hurry, take your time and you will end up with something that you're proud of. [/QUOTE]
