Roger that Cap👍 I’m just ignorant🤣🤣🤣

It's just that $50.00 off a finished gun doesn't seem worth it when you figure how many hours go into a finishing a kit revolver, not to mention the cost of applying a finish to the metal. It cost me $60.00 to have my Army kit hot blued by a professional gunsmith...and this was back in the 1980s. Your labor probably works out to around .50 cents an hour by the time you finish. It's a terrific learning experience, don't get me wrong. But once you've done it, you check it off your list and say, "OK, not gonna do THAT again!" LOL

I get that👍 I think Midway, when they have the non kit Walker it’s like $10 more!!?? I paid $419 for mine back in April. It does sound laborious on the kit albeit a learning experience? You would think you would save a little more money than $10?🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I received an email from Old South Firearms he has miscellaneous blackpowder revolvers in stock now.
