'58 Sheriff's Model
Home made out of an early production ( and very rough ) Armi San Marco with
the loading lever modified to retain the cylinder pin.
First cylinder pin retainer
made of a bit of wire.

The '73 torn down again to replace the very worn
carrier and trigger block safety.
Comparison of carriers
All back together again.  New carrier and slick
as snot.
New safety catch ( ie. trigger block
safety),  and saddle ring.
 The magazine short 3
inches as I cut off the badly rusted rear end of it.
 Won't replace it until I see how this barrel
shoots.  If I decide to re barrel I'll go with a
longer octagon one.
