My own feelings tell me the following: Get a Remington Police in blue with an extended magazine to admire. One could easily get a Remington Mariner to equally admire - steel receiver and great workmanship. Shotguns like the Remington 870 compare to High Standard 8111 and 8113. The Remington...
Glock does not recommend using Hoppes #9 or any other Solvent which contains a trace of ammonia. You can clean your Mossberg with a good Otis pull threw cleaning kit and CLP. I have found the CLP and the Otis Pull Threw Cleaning Kit is sufficient to clean the Mossberg pump. TOGGLELOCK
This is a great thread. I was looking for one of these new Walnut Stocked 870 Police. Last I have seen these was in the early 90s. I tried to get my local FFL order one of these and he couldn't deliver this model. Thank's for the lead. I've got a few 870s, but this is the far nicest looking...
A good idea, Ruger uses that on the GP100/SP series. The foward lockup assures distrubution of forces over more an area, better alignment of the Yoke assembly. About the only pitfall is that this is another part which needs to be handfit for fuction. TOGGLELOCK
Obviously the Cylinder is not indexing and that is a "Carry-Up Failure". Perhaps your Hand (not sure what Colt calls the part) is worn. Unlike a S&W, the Colt is height sensitive, not width sensitive. Sounds like a vintage revolver that needs a bit of work. TOGGLELOCK
That ruines your centerline alignment of your Yoke. We had been warned in Armorers school in Springfield, Mass that that had been bad for the gun. TOGGLELOCK
Excessive barrel cylinder gap? Not likely in a new Taurus right off the production line. The pilot cutter not cutting the yoke barrel clean and even in a new revolver - not likely. Centerline out of alignment (even in a new revolver)? Yes, most likely the cause of cylinder cramp, runout of...
Go to Pep Boys or an Auto Supply and get those Cotton Yellow Colored Rags. Brand new, of course. Once you get those soaked with G96 and Slip2000. All will be fine. I don't even buy Silicon Cloths anymore.
You can take a real fine black paper, taped on a ridgid surface and rub the sharpe, high edge that rides on the cylinder. At 1500 grit, no more then five or six passes. NO MORE or you'll reduce and detroy your part. If you look at the cylinder stop you'll see the right side of the parts is...
The six inch GP100 above is a "Pipe Barrel" with no full lug. My 4 inch GP100 with the full lug is a dream to shoot. The shrowded 6 inch GP100 is a bit muzzle heavy. The "Pipe Barrel" above in 6 inch is light, good sight radius. I would say that both models, short with full lug and long with...
The Lock is for a real Putz. We didn't need locks on handguns made in the 1880's and we don't need one now. I'll wait for a S&W without a Internal Lock before I purchase another. Sorry, but S&W should know better and DC vs. Heller should have merely commanded them to avoid those silly Locks...
Love that 66 with the recessed cylinders. That's the first gun that I ever pulled on a Felon. Yes, he did the piano dance with his fingers, as if that would stop the bullet. :-) TOGGLELOCK
crane assembly
The Crane assembly is individually fit and then cosmetically blended to each revolver. Sure, there are probably a few that had been randomly fit and for some strange reason are exactly the same diamensionally. But generally, you would start by fitting an oversized unit with a...
Togglelock, GREAT advice!
The rap on the new S&W seems to be the MIM parts. They are as good or better than the forged parts. The reason most don't like 'em is--they are just different.
That 'funny' sound is, I think, the frame mounted firing pin, it gives a slightly hollow sound.
Batman...
My suggestion is to send the gun to S&W Performance Shop if you want good action work. Myself, I am a S&W Armorer and see things in that film that are not proper. When Jerry stones the pins on the side of the hammer - now that makes me laugh. Bushings sitting in the frame prevent from the...
No, we had been talking about older cylinders with pins under the star. Don't bend those small pins. When in doubt, get someone with knowledge to tighten your ejector rod. TOGGLELOCK
When (and if) you get your cylinder open. You better watch how you screw your ejector rod tight. You'll need an extractor support tool, orange dummy rounds or empties left in the cylinder as extractor support. Cause if you got an old cylinder with pins under the extractor star, you'll bend...
