Throats were 4-.450" 2-.449", so opened them all six to .452". Slicked up the action and installed Wolf Springs, #5 Keith Style Base Pin and some beautiful Walnut Grips.

Barrel gap was so tight that the cylinder would lock up with new base pin. Used Emory Boards to take a little off barrel protrusion inside the window. Left gap .001" with Belt Mountain Base Pin installed.

I cannot imagine using as a base gun..
