    How is over clocked barrel made right?

    I purchased a 649-3 and the barrel is over clocked (tightened to much?) by 2-3 degrees (guessing w/o a protractor maybe more). It's noticeable looking at the front of the gun. I have not shot it yet, but if it needs to be fixed what are the options? The decision to buy this gun may not have been...

    Found a 649-3 on Gunbroker!

    Well I kept it. All of the corrosion is under the grips, other than that it shows fairly well. My reasoning for keeping it is that the -3s are hard to come by and now I have one and I can still look for one in pristine condition. I need to shoot it to see if the slightly over clocked barrel will...

    Found a 649-3 on Gunbroker!

    Help please! The 649-3 came in and I spent nearly an hour checking it over. Cylinder gap is .007", a little higher than I hoped but I believe within specs. The bore looked good to me. Lock up was tight. Timing looked good to me also. Took the grips off and corrosion was present. More later...

    Found a 649-3 on Gunbroker!

    Thanks. I'm sure not aware of a rating system...or how to do it. I will be getting the bill of sale from my FFL tomorrow after a viewing to make sure it is acceptable. Then down to the county seat to add it to my permit, then I can actually possess it. The grips will need replacement as they are...

    Found a 649-3 on Gunbroker!

    Thanks! I just last week shot my first .357 out of an LCR and it had some serious recoil. I doubt the 649 will be much better. That option went down on the list of reasons for buying a Magnum J after that. Supposed to be shipped tomorrow. I don't do social media very well. I mostly lurk, learn...

    Found a 649-3 on Gunbroker!

    It's on the way here! Used the buy it now. Probably up to a couple of weeks for pics so be patient please. Decided to stick with what I know and am comfortable with- wheel guns, particularly j-frames for now. No lock, full length ejection, .357 option, pinned front sight for night sight option...

    WHEN YOUR BETTING YOUR LIFE UPON IT

    .....or two! The only time I feel under gunned is when the thought, repeat thought, of a semi wielding BG or BG(s) enter my mind. Odds? Really slim where I am and frequent. Failures on my Colt Defender in 5 months? A few. Operater error? Maybe. Doubt cast on it? A little. Failures on my J-frame...

    640 Pro Series vs 649 & 60 ?

    The night sights sure would be nice. I think I can alleviate the expense of another gun by going the Crimson Trace route as I have thought of doing many times. Thanks for the response, after 22 years my old J is very familiar even though it didn't get shot much for a good number of those years...

    640 Pro Series vs 649 & 60 ?

    I've been looking to put my hands on a 640 Pro coming up on 2 years now. I've had one on order with my LGS for a year now. I bought a Colt Defender instead. I thought I would buy the 640 Pro anyway, but I'm thinking maybe not anymore. I have had my 640 38spl for 22 years and I'm thinking the Pro...

    Stumbled across 5+ old guns today...

    All of these guns are up for grabs. I don't want any of them and the one friend of mine that I thought might be interested is not. I will contact the owner if someone has interest and find out how he would like to handle it. Stay safe, John
