Silver Rings SASS # 27466

Nice little shotgun, but not SASS approved for main match use.

I have been shooting Uberti 1871 open tops for several years. The only problem I have had is the screws loosen up and need to be tightened before each match. I just like the way they feel and point. Silver Rings

This solution is too simple, too logical and too safe. I like it.

Or Shooter: may I decock? TO: yes Shooter then attempt's to decock and cock pistol trying to get to the empty chamber, thumb slips off hammer, gun goes off striking table. TO: MDQ. Should have shot the guns.

Time is running. Shooter: may I decock? TO: think you can decock and reindex a pistol with just one hand? Shooter: why can't I use both hands? ETC! Time still running 45 seconds later. Shooter: I will just shoot GF. TO: good choice. Or Shooter: may I decock? TO: no! Shoot them.

Mine were good for about 15,000 ends of 250 gen bullets at about 750 fps. Eventually had problems with both of them where the hand would not reliably rotate the cylinder. So I would say pretty durable. Silver Rings

I have another rifle I can use as a model. Silver Rings

Thanks folks, I will try to bend it back.

Did you use heat or just bend it cold?

I had a out of battery discharge and now the lifter doesn't drop. As far as I can tell the lever is bent. How do you bend the lever with out making things worse? This question probably has been answered before but the wire search feature didn't find any thing. Silver Rings

How small are the pieces of crusher run gravel?

How deep is your your pea gravel? Is it difficult to walk on?

I forgot to mention it is really windy at our range so it needs to stay put.

Our berms had 1/2" gravel when I inherited running the matches. This resulted in a lot of splash back. I got our club to put down what is locally called "trail mix" red decomposed granite. This works really well but is expensive. Looking to find something that works as well but is cheaper. We are high desert with no water, so forget grass. What do you use at your range that works?
