So what does one do with a chunk of scrap aluminum?
Well, make a dummy cylinder for dry firing of course!

Actually, just an excuse to fiddle with some new tooling.
"Fred in the shed", as they say ... far more dangerous with a lathe than with any gun :)

Nice use of "scrap aluminum" borne2fly!!

Funny this topic comes up !! I haven't setup a "dry fire" revolver in many years but I just set up two revolvers for Mr. Walt Kirst - a Pietta '60 and a Remington "shop tool" skeletonized revolver - both dry fire safe so he could "shoot um" inside and outside. The '60 is a conventional cap gun.
