    By now, all of us have heard about the "incident" in Minnesota.

    They can investigate it as anything they want… the mentally ill trans shooter is gone but with the climate of the naysayers, nothing will be done other than try to cram through more gun laws…

    Mainspring adjustment screw

    Likely not mentioned because the OP was talking about the “adjustment screw” officially known as the mainspring! But - you are correct that the rebound spring also affects trigger pull. Maybe some of the matched aftermarket kits have perfected a 100% lighter pull function but as a dept armorer...

    Mainspring adjustment screw

    This has been discussed on many occasions but as noted, there is no “adjustment screw” on a S&W. The mainspring is designed to be tight for everything else within to operate as designed.

    DO NOT ASK sign

    Im in VA and currently have the same problem. Now trespassers are coming in with ATV’s through adjoining property that owners live out of state.

    Re-Bluing a Model 13 Cylinder

    Sounds like you have a keeper and are ok with sending it back to the guys that made it… Just suck it up and do it and you will have it looking new and you can have it checked out for timing, end shake and other such conditions. If you part it out it may end up looking like a repainted fender on...

    How to value "collectibles?"

    Sought after models in high condition will always bring a premium regardless of the economy, etc. So don’t let a slick talker tell you otherwise. Do some gunbroker SOLD searches and see what the market has been offering for similar guns. You can set a reasonable reserve and good if you get it...

    saw a 27-2 5in

    Firearms Inventory tagging Question

    I keep my inventory on a spreadsheet with appropriate data and a hang tag on the trigger guard with string for easy removal should a range trip occur.
