I took last Saturday and did one of my own for a change.
I picked this 357 "Mare's Leg" up from another INGO Member a while back and realized it had 3 issue I wanted to address.
One was it it was shooting way high maybe 4 or 5 inches at 25 yards. After reading up on them I guess they all do this
Second Issue was the loading gate would stick and prevent the gun from cycling
Third issue was the action was tight. to tight to twirl the gun, That had to be fixed
Fourth I figured while I had it all apart for the action work might as well paint it.
I stripped this down to nothing and bought a video and action kit from Steve's gunz which the video was real nice the action kit only really contained a new extractor spring and a stainless mag plug instead of the factory plastic one.
I also picked up a fiber optic front sight that is .530 tall which seems to be the popular height that people are using
I smoothed out the parts inside which I must say the factory machine work was terrible. I followed the instructions in the video and added a couple of my own treatments to the insides and the gun is smooth and slick now and will indeed twirl....may main concern. Plus forund the issue with the loading gate and corrected it I hope. won't know till I get it to the range.
Oh and I stripped and lightened the color of the wood too.
Here are a couple pics
