John, I checked mine and forget everything I wrote above. The spring set up on the Miroku is different than the Uberti. The right side (carrier) spring fits as normal, but the left side (lever) spring is backwards, i.e. the pin makes contact with lever differently. If you put them in and cycle the action you will see what I mean. I did note that the spring pins are thicker on mine (no action work done). It's possible yours may have been thinned out.

John, Put this question on the Wire not the classifieds. Short answer to your question is the orientation of the springs should be as indicated on the schematic. I would contact the previous owner and ask.

Bear, I'm not a Ruger guy, but it looks like the bolt is coming up before cylinder rotates into the locking notch. I had a Colt that had been worked on and if the pistol went to half cock and the cylinder spun slowly, the cylinder would, on occasion, under rotate slightly and the bolt would come up early. Has this happened before the latest match? Try to isolate the pistol that is having the problem, then go through the points Dale wrote. PS. Clean the revolver so that you may see if something is out of whack internally.

Sorry, nope, incorrect info. Mine was made in 1990, before the cross bolt safety was introduced.

I still have a pre '83 Winchester in45 Colt. The action was designed for rifle cartridges, so it isn't really suited for rapid fire pistol cartridges. I used it for one season, but went to the Uberti models after that. The '92, which I owned for a bit had smoother action, but it would have been better if it had been worked over.

Luckily they have Marines.

As I heard a long time ago: It's best to keep your mouth shut then people will only think you're stupid, as opposed to opening it and proving it.

He did have a nice store on the upper East Side of NYC that sold expensive western wear.

Had three cups already and spoke with seven folks in the neighborhood. Town guys stopped by to say they have to turn off the water for a bit to deal with a main leak: all this by 9:30 am. I need a nap.

Been there for what seems forever. Not that anyone really notices it now. Looks like a Colt Python.

Good luck. You might be better off buying one, but who knows? Tex

If the movie has Halle Berry and her two Belgian Malinois in it I'm good.

This was a funny movie. Best line was,.."you shot him in the back! Well, his back was to me" RIP Mr. G

I still have my mother's. Needs a new latch for the bag compartment. Also have two newer ones, both at least 10-15 years old.

I drove over that bridge lots of times when I was stationed in Baltimore. How do you not see a pylon? FBI is involved, so they're looking at all angles.

He did a couple of those. Good movies, filmed in Old Tucson studios.

Unless there is specific information, how does one plan to prevent a terrorist attack? In a city the size of Moscow, or NY or London, there are any number of targets that can attract terrorists. The French, in anticipation of the Olympics later this year, are upping their counter terror and surveillance activities, but a terrorist attack could occur in one of a hundred different locations. Unfortunately, unlike TV, there isn't always an obvious target.

I got mine from Home Depot,. Amazon Prime has several types, including upholstery tacks. Drill holes, don't try to hammer them in, and add glue. Also, if the pin is too long, cut it. I don't see a problem with brass colored steel. Who's to know?

The Canada Border Services Agency web site has all the official information needed. By all means contact the folks listed above and they will confirm the info on that website. BTW, we used to shoot at some of the same matches in NJ and PA back in the "old days". I seem to remember a shoot off with (I can't remember for sure- Badlands Bud?) another top shooter where a number of shotgun rounds were required; he ran out of shells and you had plenty on your belt. You moved down south as I recall. Nice to see you're still shooting. Tex

Action open, muzzles pointing down range. OK. Muzzles don't break the 170 vertically, OK. Holding it by the wrist, unless both hands on the shotgun is required, OK.

MK 1 Mod O grenade launcher.

Tell him to hang in there. Sending best wishes.

If you can get drill bits or brass stock you can cut off piece and epoxy it in. I see that some drill sets have bits as narrow as 1mm.

But yet, the EOT website shows a Hampton Inn in Happy Valley as a "preferred" hotel. It appears to me that there is no corporate policy for or against firearms, but rather each site makes up its own rule. I have stayed in a number of hotels in AZ, NM and other states and there was no problem with bringing cased firearms into the room, whether I asked about it first or not.
