The barrel also needed a little tweaking to fit right.

The tang was also not bent enough, so we bent it to fit.

As a final check, the hammer needed to line up properly with the nipple.

One of the biggest problems was that the trigger guard was bent all wrong.

We tried to slowly bend it into the proper shape, but then it broke across the rear screw hole.

We did some research and found that this was a very common problem with these kits.

The brass trigger guards were very brittle.

I got my friend Vern to braze it back together for us and we spent quite a while reshaping it to fit.

We worked on it with a Drimmel Tool.

I filed on it with a big file.

It finally looked like it should, and Tman polished it up for final assembly.
