Anyone ever remove markings on their Pietta barrels???
« on: October 23, 2008, 10:40:19 AM »
Thinking about getting rid of the markings on the side of my Pietta Navy revolvers and then "antique" them.

I'd probably yank the silly front brass sight and put a new one in using a  length of brass rod (brazing rod). Get the correct height on it.

Thoughts?

Also, what size lettering were original colts? Not trying to build a "fake", but, get rid of the silly proof markings.

I took the marking off of a CVA  Remington 58 about 30 years back, just draw file. You could send the barrel to http://gunfancy.com/ , He has the proper size lettering to make it look right. I would just send him the barrel.
