I haven't looked at the gun yet and don't know too much about it. I shoot trap with the guy who owns it and know he doesn't clean his guns as much as he should (in my opinion). I'm very familiar with Wolff springs and have upgraded some of my guns with their kits.

I'd strip it, clean it thoroughly and, if that doesn't work, buy ALL new springs and install. you are reading my mind.

First, Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year. now, the problem. I have a friend who has a 1911 pistol that fires fine but every once in a while, the trigger stops short of it's full backward travel resulting in a failure to fire. He eases pressure on the trigger and tries again and it...

good to know. Thanks guys.

watching You-Tube videos yesterday and came across one where Larry Potterfield was talking about an ejector rod on a S&W revolver that tightened to the right. which models/year of production should I be looking for?

the quick response is impressive. thank you for the information.

serial number behind the crane is 35k3382. Firing pin is mounted on the hammer and there is no lock. Any help is appreciated.

The first several rounds fired eject as they should but as the barrel/cylinder heat up, the cases bind in the cambers and will not eject without the help of a light tap with a smith's hammer on the ejection rod. Only two of the chambers expand enough to cause the problem. I don't trust myself...

The problem with arguing with stupid people is that they drag you down to their level. Better just to smile and wave.

I want to take down my Dillon 650 for cleaning and lubrication. Nothing is mentioned in the manual about that process or the lubricants to be used. I watched a you-tube video that talks about 30 weight motor oil for the ram and grease for most of the other parts. I'm a little embarrassed to say...

We have been to the range a few times and she has shot my M64, 642, victory and Dan Wesson guardian in 9mm. I haven't introduced the .357 or .45 acp. I wouldn't hesitate to let her give them a try if she wants to but would like to stay a little less aggressive for now. This young lady is tall...

A woman I used to work with asked me to teach her how to shoot. We have gone to the range a few times and had conversations about guns in general, safety, etc. She now wants to buy a gun to be used for carry, range and home protection. In my mind, she's talking about three different guns but she...

Lots to digest here. Thanks for that. Using tite group powder and 200 gr swc bullets for the 45acp, the Leyman book gives a range of 4.8 to 5.6 (if memory serves). I ran into a guy who uses the same components and loads only to 4.0. Very soft shooting, accurate at 50 feet and cycles the gun (two...

Recently bought a Dillon 650 and after making about every mistake I could make finally figured it out. I started out with 45 acp using 200 gr lead bullet. After 500 successful rounds, I'm ready to move on and reconfigure my machine to 9mm at first and then to .38. Which bullet weight do you guys...

Don't take her at all. Let the range be your sanctuary and treat it like your man cave. Having time away from each other is not always a bad thing.
