Pietta Del Rio Delx Colt 45

For a goodly portion of USFA production they used some or all Uberti parts. Uberti parts are darn sure not all forged. -
Ruger old vaquero
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Lefty Dutchman, SASS #41480's topic in SASS Wire
The easiest solution would be to have someone that is familiar with Ruger revolvers take a look at it. It would probably be a ten second diagnosis. Doing it on the wire and playing 20 questions takes longer and often does not yield positive results. I will take a stab at it. 1. You said the last time you used it was five years ago. Did you take it apart or do any maintenance before putting it in the safe? 2. Does the hammer rebound after falling or does it never reach the primer? (If you put a sized primed case in the cylinder does the primer go off?) 3. Make 100% sure the hammer plunger and base pin plunger are not frozen, bent or sticking. Make 100% sure the pawl spring is not bent or crushed by the gripframe and make 100% sure the bolt pluger is on the bolt and has not slipped off while reattaching the gripframe. 4. Cock the hammer and pull the trigger then, without releasing the trigger, push forward on the hammer. Does it move forward? 5. Cock the hammer and pull the trigger and push forward on the hammer spur THEN release the trigger. Does the hammer move forward or does it trap movement of the tirgger? Slowly release pressure on the hammer. Does the trigger drop down? 6. Cock the hammer, pull the trigger and while still holding the trigger will the hammer cock? If so SLOWLY pull the hammer back and shine a light into the gap as the hammer comes back to see what it is hitting. -
Fiocchi has bought land in Little Rock, Arkansas to build a primer making plant. I think we will see primers from Fiocchi long before any come from Expansion. Fiocchi is a major International ammunition maker. https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/nov/15/ammunition-maker-fiocchi-usa-to-build-primer-factory-in-little-rock/

Unusal Uberti?

25 if you count the big one in the middle. -
New Vaquero Hammer Springs
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Skullbone Willie's topic in SASS Wire
Not really a California safety as all the older NMV's had the safety lock. Later ones seem to have eliminated the lock and use a sheet metal spring seat. Just to keep things simple what I would do is order the springs for the NMV with lock and then put a stack of washers on the end of the strut on the other one to take up the difference in length. That way you only need to worry about one type of spring in the guns and the actions should feel the same. https://www.gunsprings.com/RUGER/SMALL FRAME (XR-3) SINGLE ACTION/cID3/mID52/dID229 -
Unusal Uberti?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Since it does not use moon clips the round must headspace on the case mouth so a .40 S&W would fall too far into the chamber. -
Unusal Uberti?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Yep, the first thing I did when I got home was look at Uberti's website. Nada. Then I did a search and found a few dealers selling them. -
Was just at Sportsman's Warehouse and they had a Uberti single action in 10mm with a ported barrel. First one I have seen in that configuration.

Has the Saloon Been Hacked?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Abilene Slim SASS 81783's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I have not seen anything like that. -
Is this Long Hunter?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Cholla's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
That is him. Probably taken at Fire and Ice. -
Ruger old vaquero
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Lefty Dutchman, SASS #41480's topic in SASS Wire
Did you replace the transfer bar? It looks like a New Vaquero transfer bar was put in place of the old one. -
The lastest advance in auto racing. Windshield wiper googles. The propeller started spining at about 15 mph and were quite the thing for open car racing in the good old days.

How efficient is a pool filter?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
They are efficient enough to filter out the Baby Ruth floating on the surface. At least that is what they told me it was. -
Doesn't it feel good to have fixed the problem yourself!

FBI makes arrests
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
They will probably claim diplomatic immunity. -
What does this mean? If it is not fixed then there is more work to do.
