Nice description.

If he does not plan on shooting it all that much, the whole thing should be a treasure to him.

I like the time I spend working on these revolvers. I don't like working on stuff for other folks because I am continually worried about turning their treasure into junk. And I very seldom sell or trade one I have worked on for fear it will fail and hurt someone.

I think the angle you were talking about is merely to make the back of the arbor match the contour of the hammer channel. Perhaps I misunderstood the description.

I think you gave the trader a story to tell his pals. We can do a whole lot worse than making someone happy.
