Frame swap

Some months ago, I came up with (through the support of one of our number) a Pietta Brass 1862 Police.

Just last week, Fingers posted a Pietta steel frame for sale at a price that attracted a lot of attention from several of us.

Because I have nothing better to do that check the forum six or eight times per day, (did you notice my tongue lodged deeply in my cheek) I noticed the deal quickly enough to buy the frame before someone else jumped on it.

I had several uses for it that I thought would work, but in the end, I was happy to have the frame even though I might find that none of the projects were compatable.

First on my list was to change the brass frame on this Police model to steel.

With a little filing on the lug pins the frame works like a dream.

I know what you all are thinking so save your breath......Here is the proof
