Mountie question Been a long time since I was last here, and have been catching up on the forum. I have an L serial 39 and it is not the "micro-grooved". Does that mean it's of the Ballard variety? I understand it was the "transition" year for that style of barreling. I would appreaciate any...

642- Just a opinion post here. Recently competed lockectomy on mine, and that went fine. Upon reassembly had probs with that nasty little torsion spring in the hand- hammer area. No fault of the gun, just inexperience on my part. All is well now, but to my point. Anyone that says revolvers are...

642-2 Just completed taking the infernal lock out of my shooter and all went well till I pulled the hammer and associated parts out, there is a tiny (and I mean tiny) spring that keeps the front portion of the hammer extended to accept the sear and engage said sear. Put it all back together...

re; light strikes and ftf I had the identical situation with my 642-. Sent it to S&W and they put in a new firing pin, sent it back, all within 10 days. Not a minutes problem since.

Feel better now that I got my meds. Just completed a trigger job on my bushy, and I thought, that's what's missing in the 642, they come good right out the factory!

Ha ! I found you guys. Feel a little bit like the fat kid that nobody wants on the team, so they keep moving the times and the playing field. Still carryin the 642-1 and want to look in on the folks who have increased my knowledge base about this little gun. There is a certain camaraderie...

Hey old sarge, it's just us chickens, the thread seems to be in free fall, so if you want you can pick up the slack. president 006. I just sighted in my Bushy last weekend as well, new scope. The 642 ain't as much fun, but feels plenty good being within reach 24/7

Willy G: I should think it more than acceptable. Sounds like with the rest of your gear you are GTG shoodaddy: I use pretty much the same rig, Buffalo bore 158's +P are the load that I carry. Of the DA'S the 642 has a smooth trigger after some break in.

I have a old 4 5/8 in barrel 3 screw, round gate out of the 50's, and it still groups wonderfully. !0's of thousands I would guess.

Hey sarge, I almost used all my login attempts and came dangerously close to having a time out. Except no ones here any more, are they? Are they all over at the LCP thread?

Bushmaster is a good one. They are now packaging instructions for the 15 min. trigger job. After that, good to go.

Wow, nice phone!!

forgive me , I misspoke, a 1954 model

without question Marlin 39a. Even though I happen to have a 1964 model, I can unbiasedly say, it has no peer.

Did someone turn out the lights and lock the door?

39a mounty Just to add my voice to the throng, it's a great gun and I've had it since the late 50's . It's an L series (1954) and it's in great shape. I just put a new Bushnell 4x rim fire scope on it and it still puts em downrange right next to each other. The other gun in my collection that...

Scope for 39 mountie (1954) Was wondering if there was a consensus on an effective scope for this gun. I have been using an old Bushnell Banner 4x since 1968, and it doesn't seem to do the job as well anymore...not unlike myself some days. I was thinking of something with better eye relief and...

Just pulled my 39a straight stock mountie 20" with an L serial number(1954) with a Bushnell Banner 4x. Had it since '55'. I think I bought it from western auto, if any remember that. The scope was purchased sometime in the '60's Was the first purchase with my paper route money The Akron Beacon...

snubbie ammo That's the cool thing about snubbbies. Just about everything works well. I just can't warm up to my p3at.

bkkd: Buff Bore 158 gr. lead nose hp is very effective , but I would use just enough to check function. Pretty snappy, that load. Plus, it's not too cheap. Speer 135 grain is good too. Can't really go wrong either way.
