Deleted. Responding on this thread is pointless. Keep genuflecting to your prejudices and biases. The forum should be disgraced at some of the vitriol spewed.

Order the above to fix it yourself, or have a gunsmith do it. I've had it done on a Colt years ago, and it's still going strong.
You fill out a piece of paper, send a copy to the ATF and to your chief LEO wherever you live, and the ATF sends you a piece of paper that lets you buy old guns through the mail anytime you want. It also will get you a discount at a bunch of gun related places. It's pretty much a no-brainer, every one of us should have one.
This is just a suggestion, but get your C&R and buy one on gunbroker. Model 12s are available there all the time and you can get one in any condition you want. With a C&R you will not have to pay for a transfer and the C&R will basically pay for itself with that one purchase. Model 12s are basically all C&R because they haven't been made for over 50 years.
