Anyone know if there is anywhere to currently get a replacement factory length bbl for a Model 52? Thanks all Eric

I tried magic eraser once on the bought to shoot stainless GP100 on the recoil shield, cylinder face top strap. Worked ok.

Easy enough to remove the flag if you choose, I did on my 610 because it sits in a safe to keep out of unauthorized hands. Kids are smart, they could probly teach us how to pick the lock with a spoon. On a good note, back in the 80's I remember taking my bought new no-dash 686 for a trigger...

Hello all Anyone know how far out of alignment a cylinder has to be before it is something that the factory would tighten up? My 610 is out enough to see when looking down the barrel, so I figure it is probly out enough to affect accuracy. If it is still considered"within spec" I will talk to...

Hello all I can see visible, though slight, lines in the brass after firing in the 610, angled a bit, say rough estimate 15 degress-ish from the long axis of the brass. Mild loads with new brass still have them. Is this normal? The pre-dash 686 so far shoots way tighter than the 610; with the...

Hi I bought mine new at the time for 285, I cant help with current value. I was raised on bullseye shooting, for which it excels. Really light target loads with the target stocks and sights, your arm will get tired of holding it way before recoil bothers you! The early ones can be prone to...

So, is a no dash still good? Do they have all forged parts? Were no dashes made before the dashes started? I know nothing about the dash system.

Hello all Can someone tell me some of the differences in dash numbers for the 686? What mods the factory did to change the dash numbers? I have a 8 3/8 no dash target version (TT,RR,WO,TS), just wondering what dash number to look for if I decide it needs a friend, that will most likely shoot...

I have a early 80's 686 8 3/8 that I ordered with target trigger, red ramp/white outline target sights, and target grips, but I dont know if it is any different as far as fit/finish. It is an excellent shooter, though it did have the "lockup" problem that some early ones had with loads even...

I like the square butt target grips on my non-dash 686. I have stock finger groove grips on my 610-3 round butt and dont like them much, I am looking at round to square butt conversion grips like Ahrends.

Does the actual "link" do anything for the 1911? Does this allow some modification of locked/unlocked timing or anything?

Hello all Can someone give some explanations of why the 10xx series handle the 10mm better than a converted 1911 style? Dont both use a link type system for lockup, so both should be pretty strong? If a heavier slide were made for the 1911 would it help the 1911 style? Is the 10xx series just...

I met dvutah monday for the purchase of the 1076 he also had. Came with 3 used white follower mags, original box and tools, factory (though dim) night sites. I plan on installing adjustable night sights, I am used to target shooting, and they are dim anyway. I couldnt afford both when they were...
