Thanks very much. I think I am going to like this gun a lot.

Hi All: I recently acquired a M52-2. It was a safe queen and shows little wear inside and outside. The serial # dates it to 78-79. Does anyone know what the factory trigger pull weight is supposed to be? This one measures 2.2 lbs which seems just a little light. Thanks. SmilinEd

question Any estimate on number of rounds through this gun?

Hi TJ: Welcome from the west (wet) side of the WA mountains. Glad you found this (the best) forum.

My 6" 617 is a great shooter. I do not find it muzzle heavy, rather it seems very steady. It helps me be a better shooter. Springs are original but it had a little trigger smoothing with its former owner. It goes at 3 lbs. in single action. I tend to shoot it single action but it is nice to be...

Welcome from another Pacific Northwest denizen.

As of a few days ago Target Sports USA had CCI SV. On sale too - $272.90 for a case but they did say that due to the volume of sales shipping was running 5 to 7 days slower than usual.

When I take several .22s to the range, shoot them and then shoot my 617 there is a moment when I wonder why I even bothered to shoot the others. It just feels great and makes me feel like I can shoot better than I do. Mine is a 6" with a red dot. It has had a little trigger work too. It is...

The Weigand rails for the 41 are 4 times the cost of those at Midway and Bullseye gear.

Where are you finding the S&W mount? I do not seem to find them on their website.

There being no CCI SV available locally for a while I tried Federal Target listed at 1080 fps in a newly acquired used 41. My last 100 rounds of CCI SV went through the 41 with no problems at all. The Federal Target in 50 rounds had 3 FTF, 2 stove pipe, and a few FTE/FTL. I guess this is why we...

Thanks. I have found them on Bullseye Gear and Midway but they are back ordered on both.

Looking for one or two weaver style rails for an M41. Any spares? Thanks.

Thanks very much for the help. I did do the one-hour soak. That, some jiggling (of the barrel) and a very light tap with a soft head mallet at the muzzle did the trick. A little dirty and dry inside but that will be taken care of soon. Thanks again.

Hi All: I just received a '79-'80 M41 and am eager to try it out. Things looked a little gummy inside so I thought I would do a little cleaning. The problem is that after locking the slide back and puling down the trigger guard, the barrel (7") is just a little loose but does not want to come...
