I was not aware of this concerning their current quality. I used them six or seven years ago. Thanks for the heads up. Yes, I am aware of the difficulty involved in what I ask, and the fact that there probably isn't any process today that can duplicate this. But, if there is one place or...

Does anyone know of a service who can blue parts of an old Smith (1927) so that they absolutely match the rest of the gun? Turnbull does not do this anymore. Just talked with them. I am aware of Ford's. Have used them for other jobs before and was happy. I have actually been to their shop and...

Spend a few bucks and get the BMT Mooner BMT Equipped, Inc. I swear this thing makes loading and unloading full moon clips fun.

It will be interesting to see how it shoots. At first sight it looks like it might shoot extremely low. Let us know how it shoots please.

You bring back memories. When I was a kid I did not have access to much money so my deer rifle was a 98 Mauser that I made shorter and smaller with a hacksaw (I know, but back then they were a dime a dozen). I hunted deer a lot with my friend and his father. His father had a Remington 8 in 35...

I am on my third reload of a huge bunch of assorted brass of probably every head stamp out there. No issues with any yet except Aguila. Many of them collapsed on the first reload attempt. Too thin. I would like to add that if you are loading for a Glock, they are known to leave what is called...

I will hazard a guess. I am sure that you are aware of the serious ammo shortage that we have been through these last two years. Though there seem to be some signs that we might be coming out of it, I am sure that they most popular cartridges are the ones that are getting attention first. 35...

I am not real interested in the cartridge and really not interested in the gun. It is just too big to be considered a practical handgun in my opinion. Nice novelty item I guess. Great for pulling out at the range to impress everyone with your "macho". I can't imagine what else it is good for. If...

How about firecrackers. I know that you have plenty of them up there and they are legal to buy and own. At least they used to be.

On a dare (I was young) I shot an old Spanish made ten gauge double barrel, both barrels at once from the hip a bunch of years ago. The thing had a tang safety. When I started, I was firmly gripping the pistol grip. When it came to rest after recoil I was firmly gripping it up around the...

Nice looking gun. Please report back on how it runs.

I don't want to burst your bubble or get into a whizzing contest. But, we do need to correct the record. The first pic is the lock work of the Trooper MKlll. The second one is the new Python. Other than they both have a hammer and a trigger, there is almost no similarity. The new Python is not...

Hi from Northern New Hampshire. Welcome.

I never wanted to own one of them. I did own once once, a long time ago. I opened it up and looked at the action. "Cheezy" would not begin to describe what I saw. Mine went down the road ASAP and I have never had any desire to own another. To someone used to looking at Smith actions, and...

Buggered screws tell me that someone who does not know much has been inside the gun. I pass on guns with buggered screws for this reason.

You absolutely should do what makes you comfortable. You absolutely should not do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. A huge part of carrying, or having a gun handy in the first place is to make you feel more comfortable with your surroundings. If the way that you are doing it upsets...

Thanks a lot. I appreciate this info.

Well, no one in 1917 said that they were involved in "World War One", but we would say that they were, and we would be correct. Often things take on a different perspective when looked back at, as opposed to looking out from.

This thing is really in there. It almost feels like I would probably turn the head off the screw before it will let go and come out. I have exhausted all of my usual methods. I have a pencil torch that runs on butane coming. Going to heat that puppy up. Hopefully it will break free. I have...

Thanks Jim. That is how my thoughts were going, but I was hoping for a learned second opinion. Again, thanks. I can't compare the parts right now because I have run into a stuck side plate screw on the 1926. I guess I am going to have to solve that problem before I can get to the one that I...
