K 32 Magnum 'Distinguished' Combat Masterpiece Grips and Range report added 4/20

Oh, my! :eek: Glad I'm not a tree rodent, lagomorph or random tin can around the Frame Hacienda! That's some pretty fair country shootin' there, Allen! ;)

I notice the ejector rod is still the short M19 snub length. How does that affect performance? (it apparently fires OK). Is that a difficult detail to work out?

Cool RB K frame .32.
 
Hey Gil,
I should have asked if you had any standard length ejector rods laying around its the one part we didnt have, Of course something as miniscule as a correct length ejector rod didnt slow down my buddy Allen ha ha.......
 
Just be glad you got to him (and them) first. I think you would have had a lot of competition for those parts! I could have saved about a year of work time on my Project 616 if I had just taken the easy way like you did! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine.

Regards,
Froggie

Vice, I have a new ejector rod , but need a center pin to complete
the cylinder installation.
As it sits it locks up tighter than any other factory K frame I have ever
had.
The new hand and cylinder stop really did the trick in making things right.

With the short ejector it ejects spent 32 Magnum brass easily,
so there is no pressing need to move further.

I am still debating whether to send the cylinder to Hamilton Bowen
and have it opened out to 327 Federal Magnum.
I am not a hunter and have no pressing need for more power than the 32 H&R Magnum.

Those M16-4 parts sure look familar. :D

No M16-4s were taken apart for this project. The parts were bought new from either Brownells or S&W.

Yes sir, they are, and they are very much appreciated.
The project was exciting, and fun, and educational.

Gil, thanks !

What a difference with the RB FG Combats...Wow !
love the way the grips match the color of the SB version and make a pair but you know how I am with the whole partner gun thing .
Also very cool that it has grooved tangs thinking maybe we should overstamp the 19-5 so it says "16-5 ".
