I’m calling Lyman tomorrow.
Do they have a Chinese translator?

I see lots of these trailers on YouTube. Only problem is they never tell you where they are to be found. The copyright date is 2022 so it is out there somewhere.

I was at the mall the other day and as I was walking by a store this charming young lady stepped out and began talking to me. Her eyes were looking at me. Her body language was enticing and she was a decent conversationalist. I was smitten. I was ready to propose when a clerk told me she was some sort of holographic AI. The photo does no justice to how real she actually appeared and sounded. She was in 3D. Alas all I have are fleeting memories of her.

Open Tops are not Single Action Armies. They use the old style leaf spring on their hands.
-
Uberti and Pietta both use the plunger and spring. USFA used Uberti parts in a lot of its guns.

Nothing like digging up ann 8 year old dead topic. I started reading the thread and noticed several of the responders are dead. Then I looked at the posting dates. POOP.

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.

As far as reloading, I don't think I will shoot this gun enough to warrant the effort to find the components and set up the 550. I only shoot the local monthly match and we only have a Pocket Pistol side match two, maybe three times a year. I will offer to let other shooters use the gun if they don't have one of their own, but I'm guessing that if I buy 4 or 5 boxes of ammo (200/250 rounds), I will never run out. I'm still thinking on it.
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.

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.
