I love the music of that era.

How about embroidered rifle / shotgun sleeves? Something that is useful and can be displayed in someone's gun cart.

Good to know. Thanks.
The NM spring is lighter but the hammer has a a different shape so maybe that's why it seems the same as the OM Rugers?
Between the 2 that I have I can tell a big difference between the NM and OM hammers pulls.

Thanks Lost Trail. I learned something today.

I had a 19 lb hammer spring in 2 of my old models and I had the 30 oz trigger spring but I put the 40 oz trigger spring in as I felt the 30 was too light.
I have this "new to me" old model .45 Colt and I am installing a Super Blackhawk hammer and I think I want a 19 lb hammer spring with the 40 oz trigger spring but I wasn't sure if the stock spring was already 40 oz.
I don't want to go too light on the hammer spring as this gun will also be a handgun that I carry hunting. It seems that Wolf and a couple others I have found start at 19 lbs and then go down from there. I always use harder primers like CCI's and Winchester as well so too light isn't good for what I want to do. This OM will also be my back CAS revolver as I plan on running 2 New Vaqueros as main match guns.
I made a bit of a mistake over a year ago and sold a couple of my CAS guns that I could now kick myself for now. So now I am kind of starting over again with my SASS guns. I plan to buy another NM in .45 Colt soon as I really like the way that they feel shooting them one handed.

Electricity...they'd get their Moms down on the ground and threaten to electrocute 'em if the kid didn't perform...

Thank you all very much

Put 'em all on Mayobard's tab. -
Yes, I would agree, the NM trigger and hammer is lighter. I have to say that I really like the way my New Model feels. I wouldn't change a thing on it mechanically, unless it broke.
My old model springs are okay if you are shooting two handed but one handed gets a bit tiring after a few stages.
-
Thank you Lumpy. I did look at their site and they didn't give the trigger info but I do believe that you are correct on the 40 oz trigger spring tension. I just want to be sure simply for my own info.
-
Okay, let me start by saying that I should know this but I will be darned if I can't remember it and I know I have it written downs somewhere but I can't find it.
What I am looking for is what are the factory spring tensions on Vaquero triggers springs and a verification of the hammer spring tensions:
Vaquero hammer spring = 23 lbs
Vaquero trigger spring = ? ozs
New Vaquero hammer spring = 17 lbs
New Vaquero trigger spring = ? ozs
Do I have the correct numbers for the hammer springs and what are the trigger springs tensions?
I have Googled this but all I find is BS on lightening hammer and trigger pulls but nothing on what the tensions are from the factory.
I don't need to know how to do the work to lighten pulls. Just need the spring weights.
-
Why thank you Pards. I appreciate it.
Yep, I am officially a senior. 56 today. I now have an excuse to be grumpy.
Nah...life's too short to be grumpy.

Mr. Riot:
Thread has been posted to the Team SASS page.
I had completely forgot about that section of the Forums.
I just didn't want to see you get your wings clipped.
And it's "Pat"

You lost $219?

Welcome Hyespeed.
You didn't mention the chambering on those 6 shooters but getting a matching caliber rifle is the way to go.
Take Lumpy's advise. Hit a local match and see what you like and meet some fine folks. Take your revolvers and rig along with you...and some ammo

J-Bar, now THAT is a "model" weather forecaster
...not a "computer model". Can I get a Hubba-Hubba?
Amen! -
Speakin' of Musicians you never expected to like, I just heard a Blue Grass song by Steve Martin, yes, "The Jerk".
It was called "Saga of the Old West" by Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers on the album The Crow.
I really liked it.

None in my area. When I was a kid I was a snow shoveling maniac so I could make some extra money on the side.

I'm not sure about all of the Leverevolution calibers but I know that some of them use slightly shorter brass. If you buy loaded factory ammo you could re-use it but other factory brass might need to be trimmed.
They do. The .45 Colt brass is shorter by about .1". Good Point, Smokin' Gator!
I am not sure about the others.

Never thought I'd be liking bluegrass but I'm amazed at the way some of those fiddlers play! Awesome!! It's great down to earth home grown music!
Rye, I went on Pandora and found "Instrumental Folk Music". I liked it so much I created my own station on there. Of course once you start "liking" certain songs Pandora plays more songs in the style that you "thumbs up" so my station is now more or less instrumental Blue Grass....and I used to be a Metal head.

SO, just curious, was there a point to this thread?
Ruger Vaquero factory spring tensions (old and new)
in SASS Wire

I just went ahead and ordered a 19 lb hammer and a 40 oz trigger spring made by Wolf from Midway for my OM .45. I am always a bit leery when it comes to springs and gun reliability.
