Very interesting read. I am not an Engineer and most of this stuff printed here is 'way over my head ". I am a retired LE 30 years and love wheel guns, S&W, Colt, Ruger in that order. I always kinda looked down on a Ruger because one of the reasons is it a "cheap" investment cast frame you see...

I want to remove the il and plug the hole in one of my Smiths. Does Brownells or anyone sell one ? Thanks

I agree with glenncal1. Make sure the ejector rod is tight turning it counter clockwise. Place two empty shells in the cylinder at the three and six o'clock position then hold the cylinder and turn ejector rod counterclockwise. The two empty shells in the cylinder will prevent you from bending...

Could anyone tell me what a model 34-1 with a 4 inch barrel would be worth paying for ? Blueing looks to be in good to excellent condition. Thanks

Got the same issue with CCI primers. They will not ignite about 30 % of the time on a tuned trigger - action. I use the federal primers with no problems............

Cleaning Cylinders What works for me the best is to take a brush, not stainless and wrap some copper thin wire from Chor Boy copper brushes that you can buy at the grocery store. I use a scissors to cut the wire. I place my Revovlers in a vice protecting the barrell by a rubber sleeve over the...
