So if you're building a case for leniency for the kid, good job!Originally Posted by OlongJohnson
But a Hi-point ain't an old school Python.
No calls for a caning yet?
The Hi-point pic is .....the most "amazing" thing I have seen, gun-related, since the "Less Baer" pic on P-F a while back.

Well, we kind of expect young doods to do dumb stuff, and some blame goes on dad for letting son shoot the gun in the first place, so a bit of leniency is warranted.
And, I squibbed & bulged a Colt 1908 just a couple years ago myself.

If you can open the cylinder, just put the revolver on a vice pointing down and start pushing the bullet(s) down the bore with a hardwood rod in segments.
No. Just that there are plenty of stupids.
Stupid is as stupid does.

If it ends up being bulged, I semi-recently saw some Python barrels in the $400 range online.

Supposedly, Ricky is filming this repair. He usually has a big backlog, so it could be a while. I have my fingers crossed.
I can't judge this kid too harshly, given I put a .22lr into a bookcase at 15. :0
Only told Dad about that a few years back. We agreed it was best to keep that from my Mom.
I was very lucky that was a hit at an oblique angle. And not 2 inches over, where it would have gone through a window....

If there's only one, a worm/screw puller can be used to pull it out. This is a common gadget used with muzzle loaders. Fortunately, it's protruding from the muzzle so it wouldn't be difficult. Driving it back down the barrel would be the absolute hardest way to accomplish the task. If there's more than one bullet the barrel's done.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
Hi-point is probably more durable and reliable. Ooops, I said it. Back in the day, none of the Python-carrying dudes i worked with were gunfighter-types. Polished cowboy boots and ridiculous mustaches, looked good with a bling Python in uniform, but not so good as a duty weapon.
Barrel is "jammed full" of bullets.
Guy has enough $$ that he won't settle for a used barrel, he seems willing to start over with another used original Python.
Ricky could deal with it, but he's not what you'd call a discount gunsmith.
I'm hoping Ricky finds a Python to sell him, and obtains this one for himself! My boy (his stepson) would be willing to put in the work to clear it. And I would get to play with it.
