Colt 1917 Test Fire After Major Repairs

In this video I finally take my reworked Colt 1917 to the range. This is a test fire after:

Barrel Removal
Barrel Shoulder take in
Barrel Reinstall
Barrel Facing and Cylinder Gap correction
Forcing cone recutting

I am very pleased with the result.

I am using different ammo this time, so maybe the lack of fire blast is related to different ammo, but it seems to be doing much better.
