    Robots race in Chinese half marathon

    I doubt it. They probably couldn't pry the prize out of the robot's grip.

    They would probably never know the difference, since they can't tell if it's right to begin with.

    S&W 22LR Manson cylinder reamer Forum LOANER CLOSE & LOCK THREAD

    The correct chamber size works with all ammo. Some people seem to be concerned that the reamer might make the chamber too big. That's not how it works. If the chamber is the correct size to begin with, the reamer won't cut any material. It won't cut any bigger than it is. Some are the right...

    Red dot mount

    What spring are you talking about? I have never seen a spring under a rear sight.

    Robots race in Chinese half marathon

    No - they couldn't do the pictures of boats or not boats. It's sad when WE have to prove we're not robots or computers.

    Yes, it does. This problem has been going on for decades.

    610 light primer strikes, have installed springs and new pin, still not firing

    You are on the right track. The Wolff Power Rib spring needs a longer strain screw due to the indentation of the spring. You have a few choices. Wolff sells a longer strain screw. You can put that in as is or file it shorter to get a lighter trigger pull. You can use a #8 - 32 set screw...

    My 22's Just Got Reamed*****( See Post 32 )*****

    Although most any kind of cutting oil works, one of the best out there is Boelube, available on Amazon. It was developed by the Boeing Airplane Co. They know a few things about cutting metal. You can get it in liquid or paste form. The liquid is best for things that don't generate much heat. The...

    Jammed up Smith Revolver.....

    Judging from the picture in post #14, which I have somehow missed until now, my guess would be that the hammer was cocked too far back and rode up over the trigger. If that happens, the gun is locked up until you take it apart and untangle the hammer and trigger. If that is what actually...

    New Model 586-8, What is the DA Trigger Weight?

    Most factory new guns come with about a 12lb. DA trigger pull. There are ways to make it a good bit less.

    Jammed up Smith Revolver.....

    It's easy enough to back off the strain screw before removing the side plate, regardless of what state the action is in.

    Looking for a bit, .022 x .186

    Congrats on the screwdriver! Do all of those have 2 sets of cylinder notches?

    Model 17-4 Cylinder Stuck

    Also, make sure you keep the area under the extractor (star) dry and free of oil. Brush out the counterbore in the cylinder and the bottom of the extractor. Carbon, lead, and unburnt powder flakes will fall on the back of the extractor when you eject fired brass. This gets trapped between the...

    Looking for a bit, .022 x .186

    You could try an abrasive or diamond cutoff wheel in the Dremel, or send it to me and I'll machine it.

    Looking for a bit, .022 x .186

    It might be easier to make the slot wider (.035 to .040) than to find a driver that narrow. The .022 thickness is more likely to shear off than an .032 one. A 3/16 x 1/32 is a standard size in a 1/4" hex bit.

    Box of Front Sights

    That was probably an LPA rear sight. It has one of the best sight pictures of any for a S&W revolver. The 686 Competitor came with that one from the factory.

    Time to get some of that whiskey off the hill and sit by the fire with it.

    Jammed up Smith Revolver.....

    The only thing that might be different from the Brownell's video is if the sideplate is tightly fitted, you may have to rap on the grip frame a little harder or a few more times.
