This is a revolver kit I picked up about 20 years ago for $25.00 and built.

I didn't care for the way it shot so I did a few things to it that I thought might help. I chamfered the forcing cone, crowned the barrel and chamfered the mouths of the chambers on the cylinder. Always was happy after that. Took it out today for a couple of cylinders full. First one always seemed to print a little to the right. Still does. 30 grains 3F and a .454 swaged ball.

After it gets dirty it seems to become more centered. Frankly I'll take either group and love it out of this little piece at 10 yards.

Not bad for $25. If you get tired of it, let me know... :bigsmyl2:
