I live in California. I'm looking at both of these rifles very closely. The Saiga 7.63x39 is simply awesome but then I'm looking at some modifications down the road if and when it's legal. The AR is equally impressive but it has that bullet button which kind of kills it for me... Any suggestions...

Is it okay to brush/clean the forcing cone area of my 642 with a nylon brush and some light solvent like Break Free CLP?

Problems With 642 Visibility During Pocket Carry! I'm the proud owner of a new 642. I have a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster that I love. The only problem I have with pocket carry in this holster is that the gun can be seen by someone behind me looking into my pocket! No matter what pants I...

Does anyone else use the Glock plastic cleaning rod for other pistols/revolvers etc..? I think it's an excellent tool. The plastic can do no harm to the bore or muzzle if wiped down occasionally.

Thanks TonyB. I also have the Nemesis pocket holster and love it.

I just finished cleaning my new 642 after its first trip to the range. It shot like a laser! It cleaned up very well except for the area on the front of the cylinder and forcing cone area. There are black powder blast marks that simply can't be scrubbed away. Is this normal? I'm using a nylon...

This is my first revolver. Are there any special guidelines or tips for cleaning/oiling this gun? I have a .38 tynex bore brush and a bunch of cleaning supplies I use for my semi's. I think my plastic Glock bore rod would be perfect for cleaning this gun. I'm very familiar with cleaning...

Does your 642 have a washer attached to the screw on the factory grip? Mine doesn't and as far as I can tell I don't think others I've seen have a washer. I ask because I ordered a replacement grip from S&W and it has a removable metal washer that the screw fits through on the opposite end of...

"My NIB 617 rifling was non-existent on the bottom 50% at the muzzle, groups were horrible. Was fixed with a phone call and a shipping label. Now it's a laser. Was probably the new EDM rifling process to blame. You are the factory tester. Nickels." The rifling on the top 50%, at the muzzle, of...

Thanks for the advice kamerer. I'm almost tempted to not send it back. Perhaps just break it in. Why subject it to two cross country shippings and any other unnecessary issues...

I have a few little issues with my new unfired 642. The forcing cone has a few little burrs on it. They slightly protrude into the bore but are not noticeable when the cylinder is closed. The other issue I have is that the rifling appears to be uneven at the mouth of the bore. Do these issues...

I'm new to the forum. I just picked up my new Smith and Wesson 642 yesterday! On the way to the range to shoot it for the first time I noticed something that is of concern. On the forcing cone (opposite muzzle end of bore), which is a rough flat cut, I noticed a couple of very small burrs of...
