Howlin Mad Murdock SASS #4037

I've never seen a trigger spring that was worn out. Lots of triggers (sears on '73s) and hammers worn out though.

Problem is scope is backwards.

Same way I did it in the Navy.

Whatever you get, slug the bore. There really aren't any SAAMi specs, so every manufacturer does it different.

Had a couple shooters do that about 10 years ago, they got a snide remark and a no call. Was a monthly match.

The S&W 422 and 622 have fixed barrels and only need a thread adapter that replaces the barrel bushing/nut. Accurate guns. They were discontinued in 1996, I think, but still can be found at decent prices. I have this one and a Ruger Silent SR, can't go wrong with that combination.

I've used a lot of VV N320 and N330, mostly in 9mm and .45ACP, cleanest burning powders I've ever used, little more expensive than the others, but not enough to keep me from using it. When I run out of other powders, they will be replaced by VV.

Carry handle is mounted two notches too far forward.
