Thanks for the information folks - I'll try Bob's. Interesting about the rachet turning in the cylinder, I did not look at that. I will check that out, although both cylinders do the same thing. Mine is one with the steel linings also. Interestingly enough, I gave it to the smith, who returned it not working properly to have it reblued. After the fact, he said that if they had tried to re-blue it, it would have melted the outer casting and ruined the gun. So, I have the gun but it does not work too well currently.
