I picked up a few guns from a co worker. Among them is a 1892 in 44 WCF made in 1903. The action was super tight and it didn’t want to cycle, so I managed to soak it good and pull it all apart and clean it up. Replaced broken firing pin and swapped out the screws to a new set. I now have it cycling properly. Cleaning the barrel it does show some putting near the chamber, which for an old black powder gun I can’t say I am super surprised, however the chamber does look like it has some tool marks from the factory in it. Perhaps it is supposed to look that way, as I haven’t inspected very many guns of this age before. I will see if I am able to get a picture or two and post it. Either way I’m looking forward to trying this out.
 
Don't worry about factory tools marks.

Your next step is to shoot it and if it functions fine stop looking for something wrong...
