Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933

To bad so many Webley's were ruined by converting them to .45 ACP.

Actually as I recall the Nagant was issued single or double action. There was one easily removed piece to convert from double to single action and there was no way to tell if that part was present when issued so all Nagants without the part were declared OK. Of course that still ignores the fact that they are seven shooters.

The solution should be to declare the Nagant illegal since no one shoots them anyway. Yeah, yeah one guy from east Jesus, Nevada will say he shot a Nagant once. Bottom line is it should never have been allowed in the first place.

You have been around long enought to know this has been discussed several times. And, the answer has been no. Except for some reason the Nagant which is also a seven shooter. Yet the Ruger Single Seven in .32 is not legal. Go figure.

Is the Colt 1877 allowed? No. Of course at the club level how would SASS know?

Hope this comes to pass but it is going to be a long haul. This is not a matter of simply changing USPS regulations. The regulation is based on a 100 year old statute. 18 USC 1715. IF the USPS issues regulations allowing mailing handguns every state run by a democrat will sue and setting aside the statute as unconstitutional will ultimately go to the Supreme Court.

Old news. 1902.

When I have a computer problem I go next door and borrow a nine year old.

Bought this from Wes Flowers 25 years ago. They have been around a long time. In case some of you weren't around when Wes was still with us he invented the Ruger revolver short stroke.

DEPENDS!!!! 100% correct.

Brownell's Low Temp Hi-Force 44 is pretty much all I use. It is the Comet Flux you have to watch out for.

It is hard to tell from the photo. Does not look like a lot of the sight is left. Wonder why it was cut so low?

Low temp silver solder still requires flux. Flux removes blue.

If you braze or weld it the heat and flux will damage the bluing. I would put on a glue on solid brass front sight like this one. https://www.yankmachain.com/products/uberti-pietta-brass-sights-tall-one-not-a-pair

Feeding different bullet nose shapes, length and bases can be fun. As noted you may have to fiddle with all three adjustments. Bowl angle, rotation speed and bullet base depth. The 105 has quite a bit of base bevel so bullet base depth and nose clearance can be a bit of a challenge. I shoot the SnS 100 grain. It is very short and after lots and lots of messing with the Dillon and Double Alpha bullet feeders I still get an upside down bullet every now and then.

Have you chrono'd these loads? If they don't have enough energy to reseat the primers when fired chances are they don't meet power factor either.

No this little notch in the top of the triggerguard. In all honesty I do not know how an OMV pawl could work as a free spin pawl. If there is no tail the pawl spring would be constantly pushing the pawl forward to engage the ratchet teeth. Aftermarket pawls for the OMV had a tail to give it this free spin feature.

Ruger does not care if it "free spins" as that is not why the "reverse pawl" was installed. The OMV, especially the .45, was often hard to load and unload because the pawl would snap over the ratchet teeth and put the chambers out of alignment with the loading gate. The pawl and detent are designed to align the chambers. That some free spin if the detent is removed is just a happenstance.

Primers backing out is usually a sign of insufficient pressure. Why that one gun? Chambers could be slightly larger, cylinder gap could be wider, etc. Guns are machines they differ. If this just started make sure you did not mix the cylinders up between guns.

You have to know how to fit the tail on the pawl into the notch in the top of the triggerguard.

HS6 is generally considered not suitable for low pressure .44-40 Cowboy loads. You need a faster buring powder.

And the Chronicle was twice the size in length and width and four times as thick.

He just posted that many of his videos have been banned from YouTube because, gasp, they show how to load antique firearms.

Hope so but it looks like holding the Western Regional there again won't happen.

This one was also popular with a few shooters but only for one shot or two at the most.
