Colt Python .357 CAL Revolver Technical Details/Exploded View/Parts List 2014

This is a great print article from an American Rifleman magazine that had some cover damage so trying to salvage anything that may be of use or good reading material for someone, especially theones like this that have lots of technical details, parts info, background etc that many people use often, if not daily. This exploded view, parts list and disassembly/assembly technical article is about the epitome of the Colt Double Action Revolver line - The Python. Debuted in 1955 with a vent rib integrally machined in, fully lugged barrel and a shrouded ejector rod it was a beefy six shot revolver. The smallest model of it even with its 2.50" Inches long barrel was still 7.75" inches in length and weighed in at 33.50 ounces. In fact the high quality of the revolver would eventually lead to its demise, it required lots of skilled labor, with lots of hand-work and it was completely handfitted making it a very expensive and time consuming process.The pistol has became very popular and in high demand due to its use in the Walking Dead zombie apoocalypse TV series, especially in a six inch bbl stainless finish make. This 2 pg article was written by Mark A Keefe and was originally published in the March 2014 issue of the American Rifleman in the Dope Bag section. The exploded view and parts legend shows and names 57 of its parts, along with complete detailed disassembly/assembly directions. This would be a great buy for any python owner or as a gift to one or the gunsmith or local gunshop owner.
