The .22 Colt version is a lot different than a 'real' AR-15. I bet someone out there will be able to take a peek and let me know if the front receiver pin is held in place as described in the original posting.

I like to completely seperate the top and bottom receivers to field strip this gun. When I remove the *forward* receiver pin there is a spring-loaded ball press-fit in the hole where the pin goes that looks like it is supposed to rest on the dedent in the middle of the pin, to hold the pin in...

I have had this pistol since the mid-90's and it serves me well. This infomation is from my notes, when I did my trigger job and other modifications. I attached a couple of pictures of the rear of the slide where I did some work. Perhaps it is helpful to someone: Model DS6891 Pony...

First time I posted a picture of my pistol. I hope you enjoy the presentation of this nice piece.

I carry .38 +P Golden Saber's in my S&W 642. Do the regular pressure versions have a lot less of a sound pressure (I lost a lot of hearing and worry about using the +P's now, especially inside a building). There seems to be quite a difference at the range, but it's hard to tell with all the...

Follow-up : Almost 1 year later I am the original poster. It's been almost a year and the tinnitus is still very loud. I have been to neuro-audiologists, ENTs, and other specialized medical doctors. There is no cure. If anyone has advice for me, I am willing to listen. Stress and salt...

Thanks for the encouraging words. I did check with the doctors again and another hearing test verified I am up to 40dB lower in frequencies over 4kHz. Feels like my ear is numb and very full. The ringing (tinnitus) comes and goes. I attached the hearing test results. - I am avoiding loud...

I have been a member of this forum and the TFL for a long time and have been handling firearms for over 30 years. On Dec 18th 2007 I fired my beloved S&W 642 once with a Golden Saber +P load and accidentally left my ear protection on the bench. Indoor range. Next to a wall on my left. My left...

This was very helpful. Thank you.

Very interesting. Brasso: So proper operation is when the cylinder rotates the pawl and it actually *slips* out of the ratchet a the top of the stroke? I thought it the pawl was held tight, pushing up on the ratchet for good lockup. tomthel: I called Ruger and they reviewed their...

tomthel: your input is helpful. Some more of the story if you or anyone else has comments.... I had some end-shake so Ruger tightened up the cylinder/crane assy. Now it has perfect lock-up and about a .003 spacing from cylinder to forcing cone. Fine. However, somehow during their process...

will try this again... The trigger on my GP-100 had some internal dragging during the last 10% of trigger travel (furthest back position). And with the lighter Wolff trigger spring, the trigger would not always return on it's own, depending which of the 6 cylinders it was on. I did a...

Finally got back to this after being out for quite some time. It almost sounds like the frame cutout is too wide and is letting the pawl move left/right too much. I've not heard of this happening before. >> the frame cutout has not been altered and appears a perfect rectangle. Also compared...

JohnKSa: Something is not right, that's for sure ! I usually would post a picture, but since this occurs with cylinder in place, it's very hard to see the hand improperly engage the ratchet. I read your reply with great interest and spent the last hour going over and over your instructions...

JohnKSa: The hand recesses properly into the frame when the hammer is not cocked. The problem is the hand hangs on the cylinder ratchet when the hammer is all the way back, cocked. The hand apparently is overshooting the ratchet, which causes it to hang. The result is the trigger is held...

DennisE: No light strikes, I am using the middle weight main-spring from the Wolff kit. Just a Light Trigger !!

As I send back the gun, is there anyone else out there who has seen a GP-100 that seems to be sensitive to hands (pawls)? Just for grins, I tried 3 new hands and each of them is too long and hangs as I originally posted !

Bob: fortunately, the hammer will not fall even with a fair amount of force behind it, as long as I do not touch the trigger. Jim: there is indeed NO perceptible trigger movement / let-off ... I just apply a small amount of pressure to the trigger and the hammer will fall. I do not use...

I did my own trigger job, as I have done on many of my guns before. I never remove any metal but do use a series of polishes and a low-speed dremel with a cloth-only buffing wheel. On my GP-100, I use Wolff springs (main spring and trigger return springs)... however, I may have smoothed the...

Was back at the range and the Pawl (Hand) still sticks (see my first post above), Anyone have an idea, I am sending it back to Ruger but wanted to know if anyone had some experience with this. Thanks.
