I like the hydro-punch idea, but posit that grease would do a better job as it is more viscous and therefore less prone to escaping around the dowel rod. Be sure to smack the dowel rod with a steel hammer and not a rubber mallet.

I secretly enjoy problems like this and would love to get my hands on it! Last time I went looking for a project gun, however, I wound up getting a pristine one (a S&W Model 10) for about 25 bucks more. Who could resist?
