Extractor Rod Amendment Back in post #49 I made things a bit more uniform but I went too far in beveling as illustrated in "Example 2" which in effect has more resistance when closing the cylinder than if I had just slightly radiused the end of the rod. A much more appropriate ejector rod end...

The brass marks came off with some cleaning.: .

Locking bolt spring, locking bolt, and locking bolt pin.: Reassembly : Make sure to orientate the locking bolt pin-recess toward the top (don't forget the spring) and push the locking bolt in a bit (check in the hole to see how much you need), then with your third hand, tap in the pin with a...

With the cylinder securely closed, use the cup tip punch to drive out the pin the rest of the way.: The extractor rod keeps the locking bolt assembly from flying out.: Re-insert the cup tip punch or something suitable to keep the locking bolt and swing open the cylinder...

Locking Bolt and related parts Back to the model 10.. 1/16" brass punch to get the pin started.: 1/16" punch gets squeezed a bit.: 1/16" punch moved the pin about as much.: Time for the .040 short cup tip punch #4.: .

Chief's Special Model 60 (J-Frame) Here's some stuff that I thought I'd put in this thread a long time ago ... ..meh, getting old ain't what it used to be :p Everything is pretty much the same with the small J-frame revolvers with the exception of mainspring being a coil-spring instead of a...

parisite, SaberOne, gun guy, and SWAddict, though I responded in private message some time ago, I just want to say I'm glad to have been of any help and thank you for the kind words. That's a cool fix-it tip, SWAddict, thanks for sharing that. .

laker1, that's great to hear! . christina2009, you're very welcome! . swampboy, cool idea! . charliemopic, :D You're welcome sir and thank you. As swampboy says, the 686 (L-Frame) is about the same, as are most Smith & Wesson revolvers. The main thing I'd stress is to verify...

Hi Oro, thanks for the compliment :) The black is the frame itself (I see what you mean, I should have defined that better, the rectangle shape doesn't convey well) the white is open air. The view is from the rear or grip end. The hand, gray. Aye, if the ratchets were coming into the window...

What do you think makes a good barrel lining? .

I'd like to get some input regarding timing adjustments and repairs to supplement the model 10 sticky. First thing is with the hand.. I'm not sure if the situation I've encountered is due to the frame having been replaced with the original parts reused or what the deal is. Maybe you all can...

PLEASE NOTE! CORRECTION to Checkout : Carry-up test On newer revolvers that do not utilize pins to locate the extractor on the cylinder you must use properly sized [and empty ;)] cases in order to obtain a correct indication on the carry-up test posted. .

Top-down view of the bolt set atop the ruler and clamped against the block. The bench-vise jaws are only bearing on the ruler and alum. block.: Really just using this setup as a visual guide (file not touching the ruler) and to give my hands a break.: Pivot above flush. Just a little...

Bolt Fitting Here's the new bolt.: New bolt on the left, old on the right. The new bolt's pivot only needs to be filed so that it's just a hair longer than the old one. This is the only "fitting" that needs to be done aside from checking it for straightness.: Steel rule and aluminum...

Here's a picture showing 3 mainsprings (aka hammer springs). In the fore is the factory (OE) spring, note how flat it is. In the middle is the Wolff TYPE-1 Power Rib Mainspring showing a little more bend or arch (same pull weight as OE, though it does seem smoother), and in the back is the Wolff...

BKP, Don't give up, bro. Start with a .22LR, master it, then move into centerfire cartridges. .

tractorshaft, thank you for the kind words and you are most welcome. :) .

Perhaps add weight to the other side to balance the load (spare mags, etc.) .
