Now? Some vendors charge 3 to 4% for many years as I can remember.

So we put hogue grips on my fathers off duty J frame Model 36 Chief made in 1963 back in 78. We went to put the original wood back on, but of course we lost them. I got a nice set online with the screw. They fit nice with a tad of pressure to get them seated. However the screw seems short...

S/N is on the butt. Here are the yoke markings. Any idea what all these yoke , grip markings are? I got it for $460, I routinely drop 1 -2K on German PP, PPk and 38Hs so it was a deal to me 😆

Picked it up at estate auction, I thought it would be a great carry gun for my wife. Yes DAO, nicely done. I was thinking it was an old PD off duty piece. As far a barrel fit, idk, looks good to me. I was thinking the bob was done at the factory. Here’s the other side.

Greetings! Can someone give me a date range for 7D7305x. K frame .38 non pinned barrel. My catalog has grown legs. THX Steve

No I fired them after. I will try another box of Hornady. They want them back if I see the same thing.

Interesting, thanks. Might explain why Hornady ammo is HALF the price of everything else. 22-25$ compared to 52+ ??

Ok thanks. Let me know. I tried to reload the brass and found that the ones that were showing signs now had the primer pocket enlarged. The cases that looked ok had a nice tight pocket. I will load them on the low end.

Hornady replacing the brass. Said to try another box and see what happens. Said to stop and send box to them if pressure an issue again. I can live with that.

I measured the headspace. There is almost no play forward or aft in the cylinder. .063 from rear of cylinder to front edge of frame. .005 clearance with a spent hornady rd chambered. also .005 cyclinder gap to barrel. All normal in my opinion. Hornady ammo has to be issue. Will fire another...

Hornady looking at the pictures now, they wanted to know if rds were reloads or factory? , guess he didnt read my first email to him. Now he wants the lot number, ( which was in the first email).

Do you think it is ok to reload this brass? I hate to think I spent 30$ for cartridges I cant reload.

Hornady's initial response- Steven either the rim thickness would have to be a bit thin or your headspace would have to be a little to excessive if you would like to send the pictures to me at [email protected] I can take a look at them Thanks

New set from Warne fits like a glove. IDK whats up with the old set, sent them back.

I did fire some .45LC, both SAA loads and a half dozen I loaded to T/C pressures. They fired fine, no pressure signs at all.
