So I'll get it sent to him and I'll then very much look forward to enjoying the transformation.

Will update once done.
It will be very interesting to hear how this goes, pics would be good. I know the leaky thing is fixed with locktite but I'd like to know what the procedure is ?

They arrived yesterday and are now installed. I tweaked the trigger sear that was fitted while in situ (I just wrapped the whole trigger unit in tape) & then reassembled the gun.

The safety didn't work when I got it so I'll try it without the safety to see if the trigger works ok then I'll try another safety in it.

I'm now wondering about the bore of the cylinder, it looks a bit too honed to me. I can see the factory honing which is like you'd see on a car or bike cylinder, but further in it's a lot more pronounced like coarse wire wool or wet & dry has been used. I'm concerned that this is going to eat the new seal. I'm thinking of stripping it again & giving it a polish with autosol.

This 35 is needing more attention than all my others put together
