I am using once fired 357 brass that I saved from previous ammo, fired in a model 19. My resizing die (Lyman) does not resize the whole way to the rim. There is a space due to the shell plate, and there is actually a small gap before the carbide section starts inside the die. This results in...

the cylinder release moves OK. I can see the (not sure of the name) little metal rod that holds the extractor in place at the yoke move back and forth when the release is actuated. My guess is that I bent the extractor rod, center pin, or yoke forcing the stuck cylinder open. Now I can't...

Update. Checked gap at forcing cone and recoil shield today. The Cylinder is not hanging up on either end. Also with the hammer (or trigger) slightly pulled back the cylinder rotates freely. Today for some reason could not get it to open in any position. It almost seems like the shaft that...

thank you, this is getting pretty deep for my skills. I will look for runout. 0.002 isn't lint. Why is this so critical. I thought I was doing a good thing by taking the cylinder apart for cleaning Ugggg!

center pin? extractor rod? I used quite a bit of force to get that cylinder to open, and those parts are small compared to the yoke. Why would a bent extractor rod keep the cylinder from opening? I'm clearly over my head here. If I can just order some simple parts I would give that a try...

the extractor pin is full tightened, so that's not the issue. This all started when started reloading. Some of my rounds are just tad over diameter to insert into the chamber without a little nudge. At one point the cylinder would not swing open even with the release pushed forward. Probably...

wow this is a great dialog! Since I will be using some of this ammo in a lever action, apparently roll crimp is better for feeding per several comments, including marlin owners forum. I also don't want crimp jump on high power loads in my model 19 2.5 inch. or 4 inch. I since learned that...

Hi, newbie to reloading. Just received all the goodies to start. I ordered a 4 die set from Lyman #7680200. It got good reviews especially for the expander M die which is supposed to more gently shape the case (more life) rather then just belling the end, possibly better for cast boolits. At...

here is a picture of the issue you can see the barrel is super clean, blue and shiny. The cylinder a little less luster. The side plate too is even more dull. Just cleaned everything with hoppes 9 real well and applied renaissance wax. This is a range shooter, not a safe queen but would...

I have a model 18 4 inch that is otherwise in pristine condition. The cylinder blueing looks dull compared to the rest. I am wondering is this may be due to lead/lub deposits from dirty 22 lr rounds. What is the best way to clean, and or polish the cylinder. Don't want to damage the bluing...

I have a much older (to me) 19-3 2.5 inch that is just amazing in DA. I think the original owner (I have only had it the last 25 years) must have done an action job plus I've shot it a lot. I recently got a 19-3, 4 inch in nickel (wow). but it needs some love on the DA pull. I also may want...

wow, that is an awesome response, greatly appreciated. My loads, like many of you will vary from mild to wild. HP38/W231 sounds like what I will use for most of my loads. For extra punishment on hot 357 rounds for the K frame and especially the Marlin it sounds like 2400 might be the one...

I am about to pull the trigger on a reloading setup. I shoot 38 in j frame, 38 and 357 in k frame, and 38 and 357 in Marlin 1894. Is there one powder that works pretty will in all of these uses? If not, I would like to keep it down to two. There are so many powders and loads out there, its...

I think I will try to find some smooth triggers. If I don't like for some reason or want to sell (hopefully never) I can go back. I would probably even have a smith change them out. I have been inside my gun before, but I prefer not to risk it. And I wand someone that can tell me absolute for...

where do I look for replacement smooth trigger?

I have 3 K frames (2 19s and one 18) all with grooved triggers a couple around .4 and one definitely .5. The issue for me its that they are great for single action target, but now focusing on my DA skills I find it rough on my trigger finger as it slides across during the pull. One option...

let me get out a magnifier with a light

My other K frames got jealous when the saw the camera out and insisted I take a pic of them too. One correction the snub nose is also a 19-3, serial 344xx. The one wearing stag grips is an 18-4 (22 caliber), serial 463xx, I would also like the birthday for these if possible. It's a good day!

The beauty reached out grabbed me at the gun show today. It was the first gun I picked up and the one that came home with me. I have a 19-2, 2.5 blue, which has been my fav, but now it has a new brother 19-3, 4 inch, in nickel. wwwwwWow. It look like it has barely ever been fired looking at...

handgun safe for 4 inch L frame Whatever I get must by 100% reliable. I choose revolvers because for the most part revolver = reliable. No safety, no mag release, no failure to eject or failures to feed. If my wife limp wrists it, not problem. If a perp jams me it won't be knocked out of...
