    19-3, re-blued or just very nice?

    For some reason I felt my life was not complete without a K frame magnum. So due to gunbroker warping my mind I am now complete. The problem is it is too nice. No polishing scratches, no holster wear, no burred screws, a nice trigger pull. I considered it may have been re blued, but all the...

    What grips for 19-3

    I found a nice 19-3 I don't need and can't afford. We know how that story ends. Anyway, it has new grips. Look good but may not be correct. What would the right grips be?

    617 trigger

    Anyone ever work on one? I have a 617/2 that I have been trying to get a good trigger pull on. I suspect it is symptom of being a ten shot. (I checked a new one in the lgs and it did the same thing). I can't tell if it is the hand hitting the top of the window of if it is hanging in the star...

    hard post to make about a stupid mistake

    I've been shooting for 60 years, taught shooting and big on safety with never a mishap. Until.... I bought a new 617/2 home today. first thing I did was load 10 rounds and head to the back yard. So far so good. One ftf, spun the cylinder and tried again, bang. Opened the cylinder and...

    when did the lock start?

    It is my opinion, based on experience and what I read here, that quality went to hell with the coming of the lock. Am I wrong, or did the slide start before or after the beginning of the lock? And when was that? Thanks

    forcing cone leading

    I've recently gone thru the safe and found two things. first lead in the forcing cone. Since the cone is cut at an angle away from the bore, the brushed and patch do not make the same contact there. Is there an easier way to clean this area? And second and maybe connected, the f cones on a...

    the clean patch, real or urban myth?

    We,ve all read the directions for cleaning a barrel. Push one wet patch followed by a dry patch. Repeat the dry patches until the patch comes out clean. Stubborn fouling may require a pass with a brush. Ok, I've got tight brushes, worn brushes, fancy brushes and brushes wrapped with...

    roll crimp vs. taper crimp

    I'm working a target / plinking load for a .41mag but I think this would apply to .44's as well. I can do a roll crimp with the seating die or I have a taper die, from an accuracy stand point, is one better than the other? thanks Rich
