We currently have two brass framed revolvers. One is an old Uberti that has stretched out and will no longer shoot. The other is an Armi San Marco that is tight but has at least three different diameters at the front of the chambers.
Bates got a brass framed navy back in the mid-60s, shot it quite a lot and killed jackrabbits with it. When it stretched, he screwed the arbor in half a turn. Did this twice before the thing could no longer be fixed.
Uberti no longer lists any brass framed revolvers.
