  1. That doesn’t appear right. Compare to a well used any original actuator WWII or earlier. Doubt one would see comparable marks or wear. A long time ago I bought a new reproduction 1921 actuator from someone in CO, IIRC about 2006. Never made notes of who made it. With just a few rounds cycling through I noticed marks on the actuator, but not in the same area as you have, nor strikes like that. This one had very authentic knurling, think of the width of knurling on early Colt actuators. I happened to be at a shoot with Gordon Herigstad, we looked at it and filed away enough material to make sure it was not striking the receiver. This was NOT one of Doug Richardsons actuators. I shot thousands of rounds with that, it finally broke an ear about 4 or 5 years ago, I was pissed! No comparable reproduction 1921 reproduction actuator that I have found other than having a knurled 1928 one milled down. The difference being primarily the look and band width of the knurling being different.
  2. Looks good hope to get something similar one day
  3. Congratulations Diana and John, nice theme also
  4. I start with a strong Blast or Spray of Gun Scrubber or something similar from the breach end into the chamber and thus out the barrel muzzle end, to blast out some of the grime and loose stuff. I have seen others even use brake cleaner. I am pointing the muzzle down usually onto an old newspaper to absorb the mess. Then a bore snake from the breach end a couple times at least. Spend time at the breach end cleaning that area. Following with patches from the muzzle end with a brass cleaning rod soaked with Cleaner and then when those are coming out clean, finish with a patch with protecting lube of some sort on it.
  5. Sorry to hear that. Yup, they are not made to be shipping like that. Greg Fox he is 1921A on this board, makes his own cases and sells them, send him a PM I would bet he could assist.
  6. There are a couple copies of this out there that I know of. Looks like another is out there.
  7. still has an S mark, yes? Hard to remove that without removing much material
  8. Brad i remembered and found this video of a Thompson firing and a blown barrel. I could be wrong but I believe the video represents your #4 state. link to thread video
