A 68 would have to be rebuilt Hellboy big, but what the hey I'd wear a red suit!

Smiley asked me if I had a pic of my old ones but they are truly gone, the last one was lost in a game several years ago(I never was one to hoard my old stuff, I've since learned better from my friends here at MCB )

As I said in the other thread the only thing that was super tricky that the guy who made them for me did, was the detent rings, which were a slightly oversized broken loop of round spring wire. You squeezed the wire loop smaller, pushed it into the cylinder then it reached an oring channel dug just inside each chamber and snapped in, holding itself. The ring ends touched when in the channel, as he had filed a tiny bit at a time until they were the right length.
I'm sure there are other methods that would work, but those were fine.
In addition in talking to my friend who got them from me, I remembered that after ordering a few of them over 5 or 6 years(I played 30-40 days a year with those babies), I also had the pawl that pushed the cylinder around remade of steel. This wasn't really necessary but man did that piece last forever.
