Who has such a thing?

Assuming nothing else is binding the little spring part #609006 is what controls the interia block swing. A lighter spring will often fix your problem.

You need two revolvers. Most people use matching revolvers. Where would you find a second one of these?

My dad's birthday is December 7th. He was a student at the Pipestone Indian Boarding School in Minnesota. He made his way to the nearest city with a recruiting office and was there the morning of December 8th. He was 16.

That "permanently closed" is for his old California location. He is now in Arizona.

There is a guy not to far away that collects and races pre- 1910 cars. He has some amazing stuff including a recording made by Thomas Edison explaining how to drive a car. Three or four times a year he will invite 15 to 20 people over for a tour. This is the winner of the original London to Brighton race. He goes all around the world to race and several of his cars have been used in movies.

I know these numbers are probably hard to come by in Sweden. I do not have a Norinco right now so I measured a solid frame original Winchester as that is what the Norinco is based on. I even dug out a metric caliper. The ID of the tube is 23.95. The OD of the follower is 23.49. The length of the follower is 31.70. Beautiful work on your follower but I see a potential problem. The Winchester and Norinco followers are sheet metal and made so about 30mm of spring fits into the follower. When compressed a lot of the spring fits into the follower. Your follower looks like only a few millimeters go into the follower.

I did buy some primers at EOT from a shady looking hombre.

You are a member of SASS IF you have paid your dues. Remember the Matt Black incident from a few months ago. I have NEVER met a member in bad standing. I do know of one person that was thrown out of SASS.

These were issued to some officers during WWII. There are reproductions available.

There is actually a video on these. The lady is not to shabby so it is a good watch. The velco pad is stapled on the bottom of the shelf.

How are these different than a wooden dowel in the barrel?

As written this question makes no sense.

The Brits used monitors in WWI And WWII Used for costal bombardment.

If you have to ask you cannot afford it.

Have absolutely no use for it but I picked up this PPK SD several months ago. Thought it would be interesting to have a surpresed PPK. The Big Beautiful Bill eliminated the $200.00 fee on surpressesors so I decided to wait until 2026 to look for a surpressor. I have not even fired this thing yet.

Yep, Bond used a Beretta Model 418.

Since 1986 I have had four dogs. Each lived to be 16 or 17. My current little pup is five. Thus the chances of him outlasting me are quite good. He is my bud and I worry more about him than I do about myself. I worry about what will happen to him when I croak. I have a couple of friends that say they will take him. Problem is they are older than I am so that is not a realistic solution. The older he gets the less likely I think he would be to adapt to someone else. Anyone else faced this delimma? Mr. Moto -

Probably because no one does since the 1890 is not terribly popular. Your best bet is to buy a replacment spring and grind and polish it yourself.

Fairly common and as noted it depends on bullet style. I thought shooting 90 grain bullets would be a good compromise between 78 and 100 grainers. At the range the 90s would keep the cartridges from fully seating even after reaming the cylinder throats. Barely detectible but just enough to bind the cylinders. The problem is the ogive of the 90s. It is much more abrupt that the 78s or 100s. 90 with the green arrow. The ogive goes to full bullet diameter well before the bullet is seated to max OAL. On the 100s the ogive is much steeper and even the shoulder above the case neck is smaller in diameter than the 90 at this point. Purple arrow. I could have seated the 90s deeper but I wanted max OAL as that cycles better in my rifles. So just crossed the 90s off my list of usable bullets. I have since settled on the 100 for rifle and pistol.

Have tried everything from 78 grains to 100. The difference in recoil at SASS velocities is negligible. Settled on 100 grain bullets over 2.3 grains of Bullseye. Takes knockdowns down with no problem, rings the steel well and feeds well in my rifles. The brass is just as durable as .38 Special brass. Where did you "hear" this BS?

The Slix website says their trigger is only available for the Uberti 73. Is this something new?

The only "flat" trigger I am aware of is the Slix. The Boogie triggers, both versions, have some curve in them. Slix trigger Boogie triggers The real question is not so much the curve or lack of curve but where the trigger is placed in the trigger guard. Top photo is a stock trigger. The next photo is a Slix. The stock trigger is close enought to the top of the lever (where the lever pushes in the lever safety) to pinch fingers depending on how you work the lever. The Slix sits in the middle of the trigger guard and is virtually pinch free. Stock, Boogie #1, Boogie #2 and the Slix all feel slightly different.

Don't forget Bad Santa with Billie Bob Thorton.
