  1. There should be a small roll pin that holds the firing pin extension into the bolt.  (Green arrow)  I do not see this in your photo.  You also do not need the coil spring around the firing pin.  The smith that designed the system recommended removing it.  There is also a small tool to install and remove the roll pin that came with the firing pin.  The small end fits inside the roll pin so you can align it in the hole in the bolt.

  2. You have one of those custom one-piece firing pins that goes all the way through the extension and the bolt.  It is nothing like the stock system.  I have one of those in my 73.

  3. AHH you are not concerned about the sizing portion of the die.  You just want a roll crimp.  The crimp is applied by the collar under the adjusting screw.  Red arrow.  The carbide ends where the green arrow is pointing.  If you have a lathe I would take a parting tool and cut off the carbide portion of the die.  Dress the end to remove sharp edges and then just adjust the crimping portion of the die that you have left after cutting off the carbide.  With the S&W you may have to remove even more off the die body if you can't get a good crimp but that would be an easy facing operation after the carbide section is removed.

  4. There have been at least 50 posts on this in the past few months.  Trail Boss is made in Australia.  Just a couple of weeks ago one of our Australian pards posted this response from ADI "Trail Boss, AR2205, AR2206(H), AR2207 – These propellants only account for a small proportion of our annual demand."

    So in industry speak "We are working on getting this great powder back to the market soon" means they don't have any, aren't likely to have any any time soon if ever, but just in case we are stringing you along.

    Here's my slight tweak with 52 categories

    That is right back to where this thread started.  Only took ten posts to go in a complete circle.

    I thought I'd like them. But the grip seems too round and I can't always get a good grip on them

    Same here.  I bought a pair when they first came out but they are way too small and hard to hold and I have fairly small hands.  The originals had a much more comfortable grip.

    That's interesting since those are Instagram links.
