The shooter's book can also be very useful at the shooter's banquet.

That is not a small amount. That is a lot. It is over rotating. On Colt actions that usually means either the hand/pawl spring is weak or broken or the bolt spring is weak or broken. Both of these are coils on a Ruger and they seldom fail. Problems with those spring is usually caused by the user damaging them by, for example, pinching the pawl spring between the frame and grip frame. Interesting that this started recently and on both revolvers. Were they disassembled and cleaned recently? Have they ever been in an ultrasonic cleaner? Are you 100% sure the cylinders have not been swapped? The last three or four digits of the serial number are on the front of the cylinder. They are often very lightly scratched on and covered with carbon and very hard to see.

Has the gun been short stroked? Real easy test. Cock the gun very SLOWLY. When the hammer hits full cock stop pulling and reach up and twist the cylinder clockwise. If it moves and the cylinder stop drops into place tell your wife to pull the hammer harder. P.S. the last two New Vaqueros I purchased a couple of months ago neither would pass the above test.

OK, I let you guys throw down the gauntlet and I accepted the challenge. Most of the time the biggest local gun shows are at the Phoenix Fair Grounds. Usually $12.00 to park and $18.00 to get in. They have sucked for almost a decade. I usually write off the cost (for the few times I go anymore) as "entertainment or exercise." This weekend there was a gun show at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility (the home of Winter Range and now EOT). So, I figured what the heck. Maybe it would not suck as bad as the ones at the fairgrounds. $15.00 to get in BUT parking was free. The prices were ASTOUNDING! Junk that you can get off the Cabelas used gun racks for about 1/4 of what these guys were asking. New guns were above MSRP and way above what you can get them for at local brick and mortar gun stores. I figured at a minium I might pick up some magazines for a couple of guns. Two to three times the price of what you can buy them for at Sportsman's or the LGS. Total waste. Not the least bit entertaining and not that much excercise as it was not very big. You guys just made me waste $15.00.

Start with the simple things first. What kind of ammo are you using? The cheap steel based shells from Walmart make a lot of shotguns stick. The steel bases expand but do not contract like brass. To make sure what they are made of see if a magnet sticks to the metal base. Some brass colored bases are a brass wash over steel. If it sticks shut with quality BRASS based ammo then you can move on to looking for more difficult problems.

I did not think you needed spurs for roos.

Since my padding "varies" Bob Mernicle made my shotgun belt with two buckles and various length connector belts.

I prefer to call it buffering.

Case cannelure. Intended to help keep bullets from getting pushed into the case by recoil or going through a repeating mechanism.

"Shotgun Ammo loops must conform to the shooter’s contour (i.e., not tilt out from the belt)." Shooter's Handbook, page 4. Let's see how many pages we can go with people arguing padding that does not tilt out is OK or not OK.

Me too. Just sloppy package handling.

Probably laughing his butt off.

I just pulled a new one out of the box and levered and pulled the trigger several times. No problem on this one. Check the trigger and hole in the lever for burrs or exceptionally sharp edges. Here are a couple of photos on the one I just took out of the box. All the surfaces are free of rough edges. Here is a shot of just the trigger. The front is smooth and slightly rounded. If the hole in the lever has a sharp edge I would take a flat jewelers file and just take a couple of swipes to knock off any sharpness.

The fore end not locking needs to be fixed/adjusted. However, the lever not returning to center when the barrels are installed is normal on most shotguns. As the gun wears the lever moves toward the center to compensate for normal wear. Once it hits the center the locking lugs need to be replaced, welded, adjusted, whatever depending on the gun. On a quality gun this takes many thousands of rounds.

Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you want to lengthen the LOP then a lace on might work. However, if you want to keep the LOP the same or shorten it the answer is no.

You can pinch your finger with ANY lever action firearm. The original 87s and the ones being imported now have solid levers and are no more prone to pinching than any other lever action. The older 87s imported by IAC and Coyote Cap had a two piece lever. This was a PINCHAMATIC. To help prevent this they came with a snap-on leather lever wrap to cover the joint in the lever.

When I want lasagna I just go to Olive Garden and let them thaw it out.

The 21st Amendment repealed prohibition. It has three short clauses. The operative clause reads: Section 2 The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited. This means each state has the sole authority to regulate liquor in that state. In many cases the states have provisions allowing counties and cities to set their own regulations. So, for example, some states have dry counties while other counties allow liquor sales.

Just do a little research. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1004357584?pid=797832

Depends. Sometimes they come with the plunger, sometimes they do not. Sometimes the parts house will list if they come with the plunger, sometimes it will not. It is easy to move the plunger, spring and pin from the old hammer to the new. FYI most of the time a Bisley hammer will not fit a New Model Vaquero without modifying the hammer and/or grip frame.

Bar stock goes in one side of a barrel making machine at the Ruger plant and completely finished LCP barrels come out the other. I think Cholla's wife made this one.
