EAA windicator is the name of the firearm. If you re-read my posts on this thread I did measure with feeler gauges. I have metal working files but they would be way too aggressive for the tiny amount removed. In fact I think it was just a rough metal burr on the forcing cone that was leftover...

Problem was .357 ammo was just a hair too long for the cylinder. Literally .002 I do reload but right now commercial ammo is cheaper than components. The gun shoots great and the problem is solved.

Two passes with an emery board is bubba gunsmithing? I just took the gun out yesterday and shot it with a variety of .357 commercial and reloads. It shot like a dream.

The forcing cone is not of a traditional style. It is very thin almost like an extension of the steel barrel liner. A Smith, Colt or even Taurus has much thicker steel which would need a professional gunsmithing file and a vice.

Yes. It was measured with cylinder to the rear but the filing occurred with the cylinder off the gun.

Yes. .004 before .006 after

I mentioned the feeler gauge on my original post but I just stated the increase and not the original or result. It started at 0.004 and ended up 0.006

Not really noticeable just enough for clearance.

Makes sense. I've been shooting for years and the only ammo problem I encountered was rounds not fitting in the cylinder due to not being resized properly during reloading. This OAL issue is giving Windicator owners fits and trashing EAA's reputation.

I was at a gun show recently and I traded some ammo I no longer needed for a steel framed EAA Windicator. .357 4in blued The gun was 100% as far as I could tell and functioned well. I took it to the range the next weekend and fired off half a box of .38 specials and was impressed by the...

I'm having this problem as well. After research, I'm finding that the cylinder stop is being blamed as a known factory defect that EAA refuses to acknowledger or address. They charge an arm and a leg blaming the customer for "modifying their gun" and doing a slipshod repair that does not fix the...

Thank you. Under magnification it now looks like a symbol instead of a K

Thanks you are right about square butt... I had a brain fart there But as far as I can tell the barrel markings are correct. Thanks for the year. It isn't a 5 screw so that was throwing me off.

a) caliber .22 LR b) bbl length 6in c) grips shape: round d) number of shots: 6 e) type of sights. Adjustable f) serial number, K 193xx g) Model number if it is under the crane. On the barrel it reads: K22 Long Rifle CTG Just build number on crane and frame Does anyone have any info on this...

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

It has 6in pinned barrel with adjustable sights Serial no is K 193xx Despite some holster wear the internals are pristine. Does anyone have any info on this gun when it was manufactured and possible value as of May 2021? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Right now I'm using my wife's white banquet tablecloths. I may switch to red per your suggestion. Thank you!

Great tips, thank you. I really need to work on my pricing. I've been using post it notes to avoid ruining covers but charging enough to haggle from is important.

I've decided to clean out my library of all the gun books and magazines that I've saved since 1983. I reserved a couple of tables at the last local show and did fairly well selling vintage American rifleman, Mas Ayoob, Bill Jordan and Ian V. Hogg books. By coincidence, someone heard what I was...

Thanks all for the responses. I've been lazy and have been buying ammo instead of reloading. Now that ammo is almost $1.50 per round, it is time to start using up my supplies. I have the bullet puller so I'll take care of those stuck cases using that method.
