The double triggers are usually pretty reliable. Some areas to check would be: The sear surfaces and engagement to make sure they have not worn. Purple arrow. These would be the last things to inspect as they are not visible when installed in the gun. The sear springs. Yellow arrow. Make sure one of them has not bounced out of its location on the top of the sear leg. Dirt or lead pellet under one of the triggers. Green arrow. This could prevent the sear from fully engaging.

Good plan.

"For now, the release of “Chapter 2” will be marked TBD on the theatrical calendar. The first “Horizon,” which opened in theaters on June 28, will land on premium on-demand July 16. No streaming date on Max has yet been announced. The Hollywood Reporter first reported the shift in plans." Looks like you can see it from home starting next week.

American ammo is loaded to SAAMI specs. In deference to the many old, poorly constructed .38 S&Ws in circulation American ammo is loaded light. Winchester and Remington follow SAAMI specs. Foreign manufacturers for the most part follow CIP. Lots of .38 S&Ws were produced for WWI and WWII use. These guns are generally stronger than many American and cheap European built .38 S&Ws. The European and other manufacturers MAY load to higher pressures for the stronger guns. I would stick with American ammo.

First thing to do is remove the stock and open the barrels and cock the hammers. Pull the trigger and look for anything obvious. E.g., dirt, stray piece of shot, broken or out of position spring, etc. Your description is too vague to ID the problem. When was the last time the action was thoroughly cleaned?

Reclaimed shot runs the gamut from sifted gravel to fully washed, run under a magnetic field to remove steel shot, tumbled and regraphited. The best reclaimed shot is remelted and redropped. The universal charge bars are made out of aluminum and reclaimed shot can cause them to wear. Mec uses a rubber insert to ease the impact of shot on the charge bar and is replaceable. The wear would be where the arrow is pointing. The insert in the photo is dirty but still good. Check your charge bar. If it has wear they are bascally non-repairable and they are not made anymore. On my Sizemaster I do use quality reclaimed shot for Cowboy and try to never force the charge bar. Sometimes even some types of powder make the charge bar harder to move. I took a scrap piece of aluminum ran a 1/2" end mill into it, tapped the old handle and screwed the new one to it. Makes moving the bar a little bit easier.

NEW YORK (AP) — The August theatrical release for the second chapter of Kevin Costner’s ambitious Western epic “Horizon: An American Saga” has been canceled after the first film fizzled in theaters. New Line Cinema announced Wednesday that “Horizon: Chapter 2” will not hit theaters on Aug. 16 as scheduled. The studio had planned an unusually fast back-to-back release for the two “Horizon” films. But after the first chapter collected a modest $23 million in its first two weeks in theaters, the distributor pivoted. Forget about chapters 3 and 4.

Are you using reclaimed shot?

Anyone remember these? This is one I do not remember.

At the larger shoots SASS uses a category matrix. Can be anywhere from 50 to 150. This question comes up periodically and no one has been able to fully decipher the SASS Handbook categories.

Yep and the wizards include pregnant man emogis on your computers, tablets and smart phones. And these same wizards say not to worry about AI.

This is a Roman dodecahedron. They are found all over the empire but concentrated in the northwestern part (Gaul, Germania and Britania). All the holes are a different size and no one has any idea what it is for.

Do not have the dimensions handy but here is a breakdown on basic features: Colt - barrel lug for ejector, replaceable hammer cam, firing pin bushing. Pietta - all three Standard Arms - two; hammer cam, firing pin bushing USFA - one; firing pin bushing Uberti - none

Hopefully Samuel Carpenter will be there. Say hi. I saw him at this year's EOT but he was not shooting.

Can you provide a photo of a sample screw and describe the problem? You might need to invest in a couple of screw gauges and might need to consider repairing the existing screws.

Armi San Paulo 73s are very scarce. No parts and have not been imported for many years. If i remember correctly Armi San Paulo was also known as Euroarms. Here is a little squib on them from an OLD thread from CAS City. Long Johns Wolf is from Germany. They were made till the end of the 1990s in 19" carbine - round Barrel - and 24" rifle - octagon barrel - configuration, in .44-40 and .357 cal. A few could be had tastfully factory engraved with blue/case color finish but most were just blued. Function and quality is comparable to contemporary Ubertis ... which implies a work-over is required for cowboying. The initiates consider their specs. closer to the 19th century orginals than the Ubertis. Spares can be difficult to find. Mine is a carbine S/N 79X from 1982. Long Johns Wolf As far as value is concerned they seldom come up for sale so it is hard to tell. Personally I would put them in the same category as a Chaparral. An interesting oddity and worth less than a Uberti.

We will be done shooting way before then.

Are you shooting alone? That usually is the answer to this question.

Reloading costs are going to be pretty much the same for everyone as no vendor is selling powder, primers or bullets at a radically different price.

VTI, Taylor, Cimarron.

Lassy shoot Shotgun Boogie an email. His website is https://sbgwllc.com He had Uberti run off a batch of rifles with all of his speed parts installed in them. They are easily recognizable as they have gold plated hammers, triggers and loading gates. Several local shooters are using guns from this special batch. Some of his parts on his website are labelled for "W" and "H" series guns only.

Since brass is reusable, that is why we reload, you have to apportion the cost into your loading calculation. For example divide the cost of the new brass by ten (figuring ten reloads) and use that number.

Did you get a replacement for the cat?

Enough of a maybe that if I were wondering I would buy one set and see. Remember you need the triggerguard, backstrap and grips. Most new grips and frames require some fitting. The critical dimension is the screw hole spacing.
