The third model Dragoon had a loading lever catch on it, you sure it is a third model.

It appears to me that you are having way too much fun...

The third model Dragoon had a loading lever catch on it, you sure it is a third model.

The latch is there, it's just not holding tight enough.

Brush I was having the same loading lever problem. I solved it by taking a hacksaw blade and squaring up the notch in the catch.

Mine shoots 48 minutes high at 25 yards. That is 12 inches and a little bit right.

I ran that through a ballistics program and it comes out to a 100 yard zeroe. At least that is what the Sierra program says.

Thanks guys...Great advice coupe thanks!

Another thing that takes very little effort and can save a lot of gnashing of teeth later is: Take a small nail set punch and stake the catch at the end of the loading lever in place on the Uberti's. They seem to shoot loose after a while and sometimes get lost.

Guess the next pistol I send to goon will be my ASM 3rd Model Dragoon w/3 leaf rear sight and cut for shoulder stock.

 

[72coupe]

Fingers now you are just bragging.

 

[Fingers McGee]

Ya think I shoulda just said "a 3rd Model Dragoon" and left it at that??

 

[72coupe]

No you should have posted some pictures also.

 

[Fingers McGee]

Oh, sorry.

 

[45 Dragoon]

Wow, love the shoulder stock!
I had 1, 2 and 3 rd mods. from ASM in the early '90s! Wish I still hadum. I thought the flip up sights on the 3rd was waaay cool !!!
Nice one Fingers!!

 

[brushhippie]

[72coupe]

I"m thinking this may be the only time lots of folks will ever see a big 'ol Dragoon (or any other c.&b. revolver) being fanned!!! That's a lot of mass rotating there!! Thanks again brushy for a great vid.!!!

 

[Crawdad1]

Dragoon, You perform magic on these revolvers!!! And the proof is in that video.

 

[45 Dragoon]

Thanks Crawdad1! I'm not fishin but thanks anyway!!

I own three that have been customized by Mike and I am still amazed that he can do what he does...he calls it "makin a dragster from a vega" and that aint no lie.
