I purchased a used mid 1960's Colt New Frontier .22LR the other day. The previous owner sold his car and forgot the gun was in his trunk (for the last 5 years). He retrieved it from the car dealer and I bought it for $125. The frame, case hardening and ancilliaries are in good shape, but the cylinder is deeply fouled with corrosion on the exterior. The chambers are shiny and smooth. I brushed the cylinder and now it looks like polished corrosion. The gun actually shoots well and the gaps measure within tolerance.

I would like to replace the cylinder because it looks junky, does anyone know where I can obtain a replacement?

If you believe it is reprehensible to possess the will and means to repel a criminal assault...how can you rightfully ask another to risk his life to protect yours?
