Thanks ! It is appreciated

Thank you ! If that is the case would it just be a manufacturing tolerance then for the grip fit, they seem to overhang a bit.... Also would a diamond magna be correct for this range? thanks for the quick response !

Hi I was able to pick this up at a local shop as part of a retired officers trade in for a rifle. He brought this in along with a 4506 and 4516 - this pistol he purchased as a BUG back in the 70's from a retired PANYNJ officer that was his BUG. It is a little loose and I can fix that, but the...

more info on the pistol...... I notice that when loading the pistol, upon tryING to eject non fired rounds.....about halfway through the ejection stroke there appears to be binding. .... I have not attempted to force it and the rounds do drop right out however. .. I have not fired it as yet...

Yep page # 190 :)

Yes, is that the name pivot, or retainer latch....I was not sure sure so I used cylinder.... :)

I was able to get up to the shop an get the pistol squared away and reverse the screw. At the same time I took it apart further, at the cylinder and removed that to get some additional 'gunk' out etc. What I find odd is the small amount of material at the cylinder latch that prevents the...

I was looking at those sights as well - standby - experts will be around to help you. :) (PS I am not one of them) Nice looking family heirloom...... good for you to have it.

Taking a stab - much more knowledgeable folks than me - but could be a Model Number Three ? Do you know the caliber?

I just ordered the book and should have it tomorrow - some good weekend reading - that's the other nice part about collecting is all the books i get as well. Nothing better than a book imo - lol When removing that screw, as far as you might know, are there any 'any flying parts' that happen to...

Thanks for all the comments from all parties ! It is much appreciated The one issue i have with BP and at least the hardware that I have been using for loading my flints/caps, is that my volume measure is not all that precise. Not to derail the thread, but for my 54 caplock I have settled...

the serial is 33588 :)

Thanks Gary ! I am trying to get the serial from a friend of mine up at the shop to supply it. I do not see any other marking except for the top rib, the grips and on the cylinder. Once I have the serial I will post it so maybe we can date it better. I had the side plate off as the firearm...

Thanks and that is how I have seen them referenced - so i thought it was applicable to all version and makes of top breaks. Also thanks for the info on reloading, of which I have been doing for about 25 years. Loading for old damascus doubles in BP with 2.5" shells up to and including for my...

soooo. many questions. ...lol first let me say the foray into smith's has completely revitalized revamped and refocused my collecting of firearms...! why do they call me lemon squeezers? I have seen posts about firing em with smokeless....but they are in the BP age.... smokeless safe...
