barrel locally. it came w/a solid extractor that took two men and a small bot to open.
After getting a good education from ken O'Neill, I called S&W and ordered a 2 piece. They were out and on back order. Until TODAY. So it works flawlessly now. I was mentally regulating this TC and it's 30-30 and 38 special barrels to the trade table, but new life has been breathed into this project.
I need to locate an old style octagon forend.

Rob...I'll dig around
and see what I can find. I don't recall have an octagon barrel, but I do have a shiton of TC stuff so it won't hurt to look.
That would be great! Here with Ken O'Neill; he seems to have
a bit of knowledge about T/Cs
