  1. For BPCR, most use a 1/16-1/20 tin/lead mix.
  2. Drop the hammers and store it. You might want a couple spare firing pins.
  3. Get rid of the locks. I formed a #10 fender washer to fit where the lock was.
  4. They come with a 30oz trigger return spring from the factory
  5. Where are you located. I'm in SW, SGF, Mo.
  6. What sights are on the Sharps? You want Soule type for easy windage and elevation. Also, a Hadley Eye Cup is good to have.
  7. Curious, as to what the issues were with the problem version.
  8. Do they have the lock inside the grip area? The factory hammer spring is 17lbs. The factory trigger return spring is 30oz. Folks refer to them as New Model Vaqueros.
  9. Bet you ordered old model Vaquero springs. NMV come with 17 lb hammer springs. Order directly from Wolff and ask that the springs be pulled from the same lot run. This will keep them equal.... Do some research and maybe call Wolff Gunsprings. https://www.gunsprings.com/RUGER/SMALL+FRAME+(XR-3)+SINGLE+ACTION/cID3/mID52/dID229
  10. Lots of us use a over primer wad of paper at the bottom of the case. Montana Vintage Arms makes a fantastic powder measure. Always 'listen' to your target.
  11. Get rid of that IAB. Can't get any parts for them. You want a barrel R.O.T. of at least 1/18. Do not use smokeless powder bullet lube with BP.
  12. Better choices than that 405. Look at Postell and Creedmoor profile. Load with black until you compress the powder about 1/8" when the bullet is seated. What do you call long range? What rifle are you looking at?
  13. Those bbl rings are not good. I would see what a target a 25 yds sez.
  14. Not rust! Copper fouling from test firing. Your gun is made of stainless steel.
  15. Best of news. I do suggest you look into a 1 piece firing pin.
