I've been off the forum for a while. Does anybody know what's happening with John? He has my money but I haven't heard anything from him or about him. I pray he is doing OK, but I also want to do business. Either the parts or a refund.

My LGS has been running low on all reloading components and specifically powder. I usually use W231 for 45acp, 38sp and 357 mag. He got some of the Hodgdon CFE and I bought a can to load some range ammo. I haven't started yet, figured I'd ask you guys if anyone has used it. How does it compare...

This one followed me home. Model 10, ser # C 2659**. I don't know what I have but the pistol is squeaky clean. All tolerances tight, no signs of shot-a-lot. Heck, not even shot-a-little. I opened it up, dropped a little oil and closed it back up. The story is that it belonged to a guy, he had it...

I am not sure what I have. I think it is a Combat Masterpiece: 38sp, 4" blued, serial number K216999. 5 screw. I bought it from a dealer back east on one of the auction sites. Story is, it was a police issue carry gun; the guy long retired and now selling off his weapons. Good condition, some...

A few weeks ago I posted about the trigger pull on my 317s. My wife had problems with the heavy double action pull. I got a lot of good comments. Thanks guys. I set to work lightening the pull with a reduced power mainspring from Wolff, a reduced power rebound spring and an extra-length firing...

I recently picked up a 317. Nice little 22 but the trigger pull is awful. It takes a man and a boy to cycle the action. I am thinking of letting my wife have it for in home defense but as it is now, she wouldn't be able to use it reliably. I have a hard time myself. We've tried some of my...

I have a model 1905 originally 38/200 that went Lend-Lease to England during WWII. Parker Hale bored and sleeved the cylinder, machined it for 38 special. New or reload rounds drop in and fall out OK but fired brass is hard to eject. From what I see, the chambers are just a bit rough (no gross...

I recently picked up what I believe is a 1905 4th change but it has been modified by the Brits. Ser #932492, "BNP" proof marks all over the thing. 4" blued with a Parker Hale front sight. I'm sending for a letter, I'd like to know what I have and I think there is some story to the thing. some...

Greetings, folks. Newbie, just signed up. I'm a shooter with a modest accumulation of S&W revolvers (last count 14 but they come and go, you know what that's like I'm sure). Can someone tell me how to post pix? I have a model 1905, 4th change that I have questions about.
