Please look at my 1913 Colt...

The muzzle doesn't really swallow a bullet. That's about normal for them. What was that cartridge anyway? Not GI ball...as we've found too, it doesn't take much rifling to direct a .45 correctly. Lots of work to do on that one...show us when it's done?

Good to know on the barrel, to me it looked shot out. Cartridge was a commercial reload. I'll have to BM this thread 'cause it may be quite awhile before the gun looks "normal" again!

That's what it looked like. Keep working on it, it'll come round. I have a couple like that here myself...
