The Original Lumpy Gritz

Did you ever try switching the hammer springs and test fire?

Good one!

Been run'n a MEC 600jr since 1978.

Never had any issue using the FCD and Bear Creek moly coated bullets.

Switch the hammer spring from one bbl to the next and see what that does.

I use the FCD on all handgun cartridges. Never any issue with the chamber gauge.

Lee FCD is a blessing to reloaders

The firing pin is not part of the deal

Keep all of the screws and sell them 1 at a time.

Have you contacted your local 'toy' stores? They might be able to order you some.

The very early 06 prefix guns had issues with poor heat treatment on the trigger and hammer. Thank the China factory for that. Both of ours are 06 prefix in the 260 number range. In the thousands of rounds my wife and I have fired(mix of factory and my reloads)in ours. We have broken 1 left side extractor and I had a weird failure when the hammer spring broke . Have never seen the trigger parts worn as bad as the picture you posted shows.

Cap had no other choice but to go to a China maker. No other company he contacted had any interest in making them. If it wasn't for Coyote Cap, there would be no reproduction '87. Remember this, the Winchester 12ga versions were black powder only and the shell was much shorter then.

Respectfully, I can not agree with buy'n back my own property(), not with what component prices and inventory are today. 110% agree on heavily tip'n the scouts for all they do!

What's the serial number prefix on the CC '87?

You'll need a bit more time.
