Hello, everyone. I have read where the southern gunmakers tried twisting iron bar stock in an efffort to strengthen it for revolver cylinders, due to the scarcity of quality steel. This didn't work, as there were reports of burst cylinders. Has anyone came across such a twisted cylinder revolver? I know some forging flow patterns become visible on older firearms..I wonder if it would be on these?
