Picked it up yesterday: very good condition, some paint/varnish on the sight mount (not rust or blood etching at least), fairly clean barrel and cylinder but needed a few sessions with some CLP. Double-Auction comes in at 13 lbs, and 3 lbs for the single action pull. No box, other grips, tool or other incidentals.
Monsoon build (just a few towns over). Have to get a gap-gauge and barrel tool, as the cylinder gap looks a bit more open than .006, so Im not going to shoot it until I check that.

Very nice pick up.. if the gap is over .006, it may have been spitting powder and caused a person to let her go. I've picked up several DWs with large barrel gaps in Pawn Shops and always suspected that was why they were there... set it at .003 or so, on the most proud chamber, and you'll be set.
Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

Any automotive store will have a set of deeper gages you can use to check the gap. EWK arms at the right of this screen makes the best barrel tools for our guns. Nice score BTW.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

If a man designed it, and a man built it, then a man can fix it.

Thank you....I knew I should have kept my dads feeler gauges that I let go years ago when I started doing much less mechanic stuff...but EWK will fill what I need!

I just noticed that auto correct on my phone was working overtime. 'Feeler gages' is what I was trying to type, but you figured it out.
