Hello /k/omrades, I'm new to revolvers. I acquired an antique Colt 1892 DA, but not without some problems. Apparently these guns are notorious for being quite finicky and fragile, but I want this gun to be shootable as it's classified as an antique firearm here in Canada and that means I can carry it in the bush.
My first problem is the barrel. It's shot. And not just worn out, it's bent. Now I was wondering if it would work to machine and thread a 10mm Glock barrel to fit. This old Colt is a 41 caliber long colt, and from what I read it should be fairly close. Would the polygonal rifling present a problem in a firearm like this? And would the barrel be too hard to turn on a lathe?
My second problem is the lockup. It's fairly loose, and I was thinking either the hand or the ratchet is worn out. I was wondering if anyone could give advice or point me in the right direction here.
I can only find one supplier that actually has parts for these guns, but export laws down in the states make my options severely limited...

Bumpity bump. Home someone can give me some insight

Uh, have you taken it to a gunsmith for any kind of advice or an estimate on what should really be done and at what cost?

>>32804452
I did, but he wasn't very familiar with these guns, and he basically told me that he couldn't help me much... The barrel is the main problem and I was wondering if anyone has experience doing this type of shit

Are you lost, friend?

>>32804557
If he told yoj he couldnt help you maybe its because ot5s a lost cause?
I'd take it to another gunsmith.

>10mm glock barrel
Barrel blanks are a thing that exists.
>Worn ratchet or hand
Go talk to a watercutting/lasercutting shop if you cant find replacement parts. Otherwise, you're limited to welding a bead on it and recutting.
This will require money.

I'm afraid it might be close. But I refuse to believe it's a lost cause. I may be stupid, but I'm kinda hoping to do it myself. The only thing I don't have access to is a milling machine

That's more or less what I was thinking. I couldn't find a barrel blank for an 41 long colt, so I obtained a 10mm which from my understanding should be about .400, and I measured these .41 caliber bullets at .404 or so.
A laser cutting shop is definitely an interesting idea, I'll keep that in mind
