I've been thinking about this rammer situation a bit since posting the pics and in order to be a Beals copy I would also have to weld up the slot for the cylinder pin wings in the frame. Then eventually roll mark the barrel correctly and on and on..........

I'm thinking I'll just stick with a moniker like, "look-alike" rather than repro since the Kirst is not period correct either. Besides it would (I have a Dial Arc) take me longer to weld, grind, weld, grind, fill pits, grind, weld, etc. Than I want to spend

Now I think I need to reshape the grips some................
I have another NMA project in mind! I'm thinking shorten the front of the frame an inch or so, set back the barrel and chop to 4.75" (maybe an 1875 round barrel with an ejector) and use a screw to hold the cylinder pin in place from the side. Kirst gated Konvertor with some reshaping.............
