Wow! For want of a lathe. Really nice work there on that little revolver. Want to tackle making an Arbor for a ASM Walker?

Ouch! That really stinks. I would love to try/help, but threads that aren’t in a tap and die set are not my friend. ��. This little lathe does decent, but not as precise as I would want either. Could be user error too.

That's just ugly...ouch! Any luck finding one?

The repairs on that little Remmy have you all set for a good cowboy card game. Just sit with your back away from the door and don't draw aces and eights!

I had not seen this thread before. Good job, Anonym. Maybe that lever latch's present location is too close where the relocation would have to be? Kind of make one big useless hole? Is the original dovetailed into the barrel? If you could cut a new dovetail forward of the old one, then maybe you could solder a piece of metal in behind it where the old one was located to keep the new one in place. Just thinking...I don't have one of those, but do have a few BP revolvers.

Thanks DG. Yes, it's very close. I'm still debating on the correct repair. It's just a circular recess where the latch was soldered in. Cutting a new one (if I have the right size cutter) should make it look like a "8", so it should work. That's probably easier than cutting down the lever at this point.
Aw, man, I was hoping you was gonna make it a revolving carbine!
I love shooting those old pistols.
I have easily made hot glue bullets for them using a bullet mould.
After the hot glue bullets have cured overnite, they can be loaded into the original cases and fired by primer alone thru these guns without pressure issues and can be fun.
Wax bullets , primer powered can also be utilized in these old
girls without pressure issues.
Those against shooting wax forget that canning wax is a petroleum product and is easily soluble in odorless paint thinners as well as gasoline.
The plastic hot glue bullets can also be used as a real function check prior to loading and shooting lead at least for alignment purposes to see if the barrel and cylinder are in time.
Just my 2 cents worth.
I like to keep them shooting.

Huh? Ain't no cartridge cases with these revolvers.
I would plug the hole with a screw and locktie clean up flush and then redrill the new hole on location it looks like it will just barely hit the edge of the old hole.
