  1. I'm replacing the firing pins and rivet on a 2004 Bisley. I ordered the parts from VTI. The new pin falls through the hammer.

    New pin is .074 and the old pin is .078 ish.

    VTI shows he same rivet for all single actions

    Being an older pistol would they have used Colt spec's for the diameter of the rivet?

    The old one is worn and bent so I need another.

    Thanks

  2. I would think that until the 1883 Winchester in large calibers was introduced the 73 or 66 in 44-40 killed many deer using BP. Sharps and other large caliber single shots were around. But the average hunter probably had a 73 Winchester. Just speculation on my part.

  3. Two clubs shooting alternate weekends. About 4 times a year the clubs will buy and provide lunch after the shoot.

    We start at 9:30 and shoot 6 stages straight through. Done around 1. Pack steel away and head for home. No awards given. Score is posted that night on the web site. Socializing takes place prior to the shooters meeting and during the shoot.
