And, if you want a more detailed explanation of exactly what Munden does to modify the hammer & build up other areas in his fanner packages, you can call him. He gets a little more crotchety every year (he's not the only one), but one Sunday afternoon a while back we spent a good half hour on the phone talking about Colts & what he does to them.
You calling his work "Fluff & Buff" is about as close to reality as me saying a monkey could do your job.

Munden has been a recognized professional quickdraw and exhibition shooter for well over 40 years. He does several types of Colt, Ruger, and Colt clone work, running from a minor tuneup to a full race rebuild that involves welding, re-fitting, and changing to more modern springwork, all to either prolong the life of a "standard" revolver or to ramp up the old design for longer & harder uses.
I've seen him perform in person & on TV several times, believe me- he does not use an un-modified revolver. Even then, his guns still need rebuilding periodically with all that work done.
