I think that if it were my gun I would load it thusly:
In its box, into the trunk of the car, pointed towards the next gun show with some "boot" money to ad to this gun and find someone I could give this Haritage junk gun and some of my cash in hand and come home with a Ruger, Colt, or one of the Colt SAA clones from many good makers now. Cimmaron, USSA, The italians such as Uberti and others and have a gun worth toying with and shooting for a very long time. Each of thos guns outclass the rough rider in spades when it comes to fit, finish, color case hardening, metalurgy, timing.... everything.
