Hello all, First time Ive gotten the backplate off my beloved R8. Wanted to start with just the reduced power main spring to see if things were any different. I replaced it, literally zero perceived difference. My fussy wheeler trigger gauge reports some reduction, but its all over the place on...

So I've shot a few matches recently with my 327 r8, a steel challenge and some uspsa. It was a great time, but I can clearly see that if I want to carry on with revolver class in these matches Ill need a trigger lightening. I'm not sure what the r8 is stock, I haven't measured it yet, but I...

Was loading 45 with a buddy on his press, equipped with case feeder. He used it just fine for hundreds of rounds of 9mm and then we switched out everything to load 45 last night. Instantly, we could see that as the ram from the case feeder would push the next case into station one, it would...

I noticed today when sanity checking a few bent moon clips, that my ejector star has the smallest amount of play in it. I have never loosened/tightened it myself, and the ejector rod seems like its definitely tight. But in its tightened state, there is the slightest little "end play" if you...

UPDATE FEB 2: This gun got turned around by smith in less than 3 weeks start to finish. About 18 or so days i think from the first time I dropped it at fedex to send back. Replaced the whole slide insert but everything else checked out. They also sent back more recall paperwork indicating it had...

Hey all. A couple months back I took my brand new 617 to its first range trip and had about 50% light strikes. I shot about close to a dozen types of ammo through it. Off to S&W it went.... It took about 7 weeks to get the gun back which I guess is about on par for their current backlog. First...

Figured Id throw an ad up to see if anyone is willing to part. Getting tougher to find. Id love a 327 night guard, or a 386 xl hunter. Ill bump this occasionally to see if there are any bites on people getting rid of theirs. Thanks all.

Hey folks Proud new owner of a nice shiny 617, 6". Been on my bucket list for a while, and given the latest ammo craze, figured its time I finally get ahold of something in 22. I have a R8 that is hands down my most favorite gun to ever own (next to the garand of course). But I digress. Day...

Hey folks, UPDATE: so it appears it was totally bottomed out from the factory. At least I know which way it moves now. This makes sense because I was striking about 2 inches low at 15 yards, and I need to LOOSEN the screw (ccw) to bring the site assembly higher, and thus impacts higher. My only...

Im looking for either in good shape. Id like a national match m1a, but not looking to pay new prices. Dont want a barrel thats shot out. Also, Im looking for the 625 with the red white and blue grips, not an older model or the JM model. Any leads are appreciated!

** 11-29-14...PRICE DROP DOWN FROM $750...NOW $650 SHIPPED ** Trying to make more room in the collection for more Smiths so Ive decided to let my Rhino go. Ive put around 1,500 rounds through it, 75% .38spl. This gun is really amazing to shoot and its completely true what the reviews say about...

So I dont know whether I love it or hate it.... definitely brings a "futuristic" look to an old gun. What gun was it?

I have a local source with a 986 for 1100....do you all think its worth going for? I have handled the gun personally, lockup is tight, trigger is smooth, and everything seems great on it. It feels just right. Thoughts? If I really wanted I could take the thing home this minute I have it...

I was plinking for fun a while back and of course the usual "hey man, try to hit that...." competitions come up. It was a steel gong at about 100 yards but I was never able to hit it because I couldnt find a good hold point. Does anyone have any good diagrams about 38 and 357 and where a 25 yard...

So I was watching this video made by Jerry Miculek on magnaporting Mag-na-port Gun Recoil Reduction- review and high speed comparisons with Jerry Miculek - YouTube At about 6 minutes in he does some slo-mo footage of 44 mag you can see that after each shot, the hammer bounces a time or two...

Ok, so all the following pics were shot through an R8 mostly. Ive never had reliablity issues (aside from light primer strikes S&W fixed a while back). The 38 casings I have look just fine. I have noticed my 357 is bulging at the base though...90 percent of the 357 ive shot is federal jacketed...

Ok, thats an incredibly assinine way of explaining, but is there a particular reason you never see rounds like below, a 5.7, for revolvers? (aka, sharp, pointed ends) Is it anything to do with jumping a gap from cylinder into the barrel? Are they just not as efficient as your basic "conical"...

Ok, lets see what you got.... Heres mine. The optics, not the gun ;) I got the grips as a present to myself 2 days ago as well actually. I feel I can be unstoppable with this gun now, best improvement Ive made to a gun yet. :D The optics are the ultra dot pan a-v. Came recommended by a...

This may sound dumb, but I tend to be OCD about small details so I was wondering about this. I don't yet reload, but I save all the 38/357 I fire with the intentions of doing it eventually. I keep it separated in 2, 5 gallon buckets right now. Would it be adverse to long-term store the brass on...
