  1. Neil, for the rear I am using a Marbles Improved tang sight base (991001) with a short height post (990100). TR
  2. I use an AHB (.404") and it works fine. TR
  3. Hello Tell. Are you planning on being at Trailhead 2024 at THSS, March 21-24? If you are, and there are any left, I would like to pick up 5k Federal Small Pistol Primers. Thanks much and hope to see you at Trailhead. TR
  4. Hello Brimstone. Thanks for checking this out. I sure hope you are correct. Looks like the one Deuce had would not. However, individual guns might differ just enough to make it possible. I'll look forward to hearing back from you. Good point. I know the mag tube on Chiappa's are the same length regardless of barrel length, but I have no idea about the Cimarron version. Hopefully Brimstone will let us know what the barrel length was on the one he handled. TR
  5. Yes, it looks like it will hold 6 with 5 in the tube and one on the carrier with the action open. But it you try to go to an action closed, hammer down on an empty chamber condition, it will not fully close. This is because when the action is closed, the round on the carrier is pushed into the magazine, and the magazine will not hold 6 rounds. Based on measureing, it looks like on a Chiappa 87 it might be possible to load 6 by shorting the follower. Might have to shorten the mag spring as well. Only way to know for sure would be to try it. My Chiappa has the Lassiter "drop two" mod so it is not a candidate. I'm reluctant to spend the money on a Cimarron 87 not knowing for sure if it can be made to hold 6 rounds. If any of you purchase one for wild bunch use and attemp the modifications to make it a 6 rounder, I sure would appreciate hearing about it. Thanks in advance. TR
  6. Yes, but when he tried to close the lever with 5 in the tube and one on the carrier, it would not close fully. Closing the lever pushes the round on the carrier back into the magazine and with 5 already in there I believe that is what prevented fully closing the lever. TR
  7. From watching Deuce's video it looks like one would not be able to load 6 in the magazine and close the lever to go to the line for wild bunch with an action closed, hammer down, mag stoked condition. Is that correct? I have a Lassiter Chiappa 87 for cowboy, but was interested in another 87 for wild bunch which could be stoked. However, if the mag will not hold 6 that would be a handicap in wild bunch. I cannot test this out on my Lassiter 87 since I cannot load the magazine. It does appear just from making measurements that loading 6 and closing the lever on an empty chamber is not possible on a Chiappa. Does anyone know if this is possible on the Cimarron version? Thanks. TR
  8. I had a Ruger Wrangler with extremely rough cylinder chambers. Tool marks were clearly visible in the chambers. Cartridges would go in easily, but after firing had to be tapped out with a rod and hammer. I called Ruger, explained the problem and they sent me a new cylinder which works fine. I was surprised they would send me a cylinder. I had expected I would have to send the gun in for a cylinder to be fitted. That probably tells us something about the degree of hand fitting on Wranglers. TR
