Brand New New-model Blackhawk with Rusty Bore
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to johnmuir2013's topic in SASS Wire
Part of the problem with a lot of these modern inexpensive devices is that they "reveal" all sorts of problems. Sometimes real, sometimes imaginery. How does the bore look if you inspect it the old fashioned way, i.e, take out the cylinder put your thumbnail behind the barrel and look in the other end? I just did this with a couple of New Vaqueros I have that have less than 100 rounds through them. With the fingernail test they look bright and shiny. I stick a bore scope in there and they look like the surface of the moon. The rings in the bore do not look like rings a lot of CAS shooters talk about. I.e., a double charge and the barrel got "ringed." They look like machine marks. I have been to one of the Ruger plants a few times and these are mass produced firearms. They are not hand fitted precision polished pieces. They are test fired and placed on racks. More than one round is fired. Then they are rolled out to the shipping area and wiped down, boxed and immediately shipped. They are not cleaned in the sense that many of us mean when we talk about cleaning a gun. How does the bore look without the bore scope? If it looks normal I would clean it and take it out and test fire it before getting too excited. -
Which LB Main Spring?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Skiddsteer1's topic in SASS Wire
The honest answer is no one can tell you the answer to your question. I just tuned a pair of NMVs for a Chronicle article. One was a nightmare. The other was easy. Just a few things that can impact mainspring selection. A - firing pin protrusion. B - the fit of the tail of the pawl (the part sticking straight down) to the gripframe. What length strut and what spring seat the gun has - I or H. G are Longhunter 15 pound springs. The one on the left for I and the one on the right for H. AND depending on how much friction your gun has you can use the shorter spring to get a lighter hammer pull in a gun with the I springseat. F is a Shotgun Boogie spring that I was able to use after adjusting/eliminating some key friction points. Springs are cheap. Buy several and try different springs with the primers you want to use and adjust until the gun fires reliably. -

Resealing the top of holsters
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Bullet Hole Kid SASS#81025's topic in SASS Wire
One of my holsters was separating slightly at the top. I was talking to a guy on my posse and noted the stitching was still good but it was separating at the top edge and I needed to figure out how to fix it. He said I can fix. So I gave him the holster and he brought he back the next day fixed. Easy, peasy. -

Maumau
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Forty Rod SASS 3935's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
The Brits are having the same problem with revisionist history that we are. Young Brits are being taught Winston Chruchill was a vile rotten man because of the way he put people of color (MauMaus) in concentration camps and tortured them. They are also taught Chruchill was responsible for the famine in India during WWII that killed millions.
