If it were off-center farenough, the gun could be ripped apart, not·to mention what might happen to theshooter. Moran's modification of cylinderlock-up greatly improves and strengthensthis weak point of the Colt revolver.Lifting the sideplate and looking intothe action ofa re-worked Python would revealnothing out ofthe ordinary, but somewherein the midst of the parts lies the answerofwhat Moran does to the action. I doknow that the basic mechanical advantagesthat were designed into the Pythonaction are Jerry's primary concern. Heworks with the action to insure that each ofthe parts works to complement the mechanicsof the others. He also covers everyother detail of the gun's functioning tomake it a precision tuned mechanical pieceof equipment.As can be seen, Jerry Moran specializesin improving the Colt Python. Other thanreplacing the sights and installing a frontsight protector, which is his trademark, heemploys no external changes. He will, ifneed be, re-barrel a Python with a factoryreplacement but that's it. He feels that thePython barrel is very accurate, and I tendFREE 8" 3.4 HP BENCH GRINDERwith the purchase of ANY lathe or mill from CORBINin the next 30 days, WHEN ACCOMPANIED BY ACOPY OF THIS AD!

The only other process I wouldencourage a Python owner to have donewould be to have Larry Kelly Mag-NaPort the gun. It'll cut the muzzle jump andfelt recoil considerably being especiallyeffective in double action shooting.Due to the quantity oforders Moran receives,there's a rather long waiting list, althoughhe advises that he is catching up. Adeposit will get you a slot, and you willthen be notified of how and when to shipthe gun. For more detailed informationwrite: Jerry Moran, 2275 East FarrandRd., Clio, MI 48420. (313) 686-9266In conclusion, I feel that Moran'sCustom Python is undoubtedly one of thebest available. I've handled a lot of tunedactions, not only in the Python but othersas well, and I've yet to come across onethat'll beat Moran's. He isa true master of his field.60 AMERICAN HANDGUNNER • NOVEMBER/DECEMBER <strong>1981</strong>

In one hour thismethod, known as centrifugal rubbermold casting, can produce 3000 bulletscompared to 120 per hour using theconventional hand method.The process requires a set of uncured(not vulcanized) rubber discs I" inthickness and from 9" to 18" in diameter.Models of the bullets to be reproducedare placed between the rubber discs andvulcanized under heat and pressure in asimple vulcanizer for approximately 45minutes.The rubber molds used are semipermanentin nature (average life is 150200 spins multiplied by the amount ofcavities in the mold set). They are low incost (under $25.00 per set,) and arequickly and easily made (under 20minutes for cutting the gating systemafter the molds have been vulcanized).Because the molds are of rubber theycan reproduce with highest fidelity everydetail and nuance of the original model.Bullets cast by centrifugal rubber moldcasting eliminate porosity, voids,blowholes, mis-runs, and cold shuts, andproduction is more than 10 times as fast.For more information, contact JeromeA.
