Cleaning brass .. cleaning some of the guns ...

I especially worked on the 1862 Police model. Shot it for two days. Then it sat for a day and half before we got home. There was a light brown in the chambers that wiped out easily. It cleaned up real nicely.

Also playing a bit with a New Model Bearcat Shop Keeper. I fired the first shots with it today .. in the shop on the indoor .22 Range. Trigger is not too bad. Worst part was the outside corner of the ejector rod. A really sharp point. I used a fine file and rounded that a bit and it really helped. A neat little gun!

I can't brag about my shooting. This was at 25 feet in the shop .. had difficulty seeing the sights. I fired about 10 groups. The front sight is too high ... which is just great on a fixed-sight gun! I will get it to the range and see which ammo it likes best and get the sights set closer.
