Forensic photos: very nice 2.5 carry python (*LARGE PICS*)

As I understand it, you can't use normal milling bits since you'll raise burrs. I'll know if I have the right method after practicing on the cutoff barrels

I might be misunderstanding what you mean, but I think anything that puts a series of non-trivial diameter holes or a long slot in the barrel will hit the rifling. (Or did I misinterpret your statement?)

The sharper the bit, the less likely you'll get a burr, and material hardness has a lot to do with burrs.

I'm assuming you guys mean a plunge EDM and not a wire EDM, too. Be kind of hard to cut something like that with a wire machine.

Thanks, I love Pythons.

Alright, I give, why don't we plate the safety mechanism?

Oh, nothing tricky: Just for liability. If anything happens to the gun and you made any modification whatsoever to the safety mechanisms they will try to ream you. For any plating house that does a enough guns to stay in business it's likely at least one will act out, so it makes sense they'd be conservative.
