Loosen the bolt on part number 1 and push it in a bit. Tighten down and try it. My 650 did the same thing and that was the solution. It was also very old and I replaced all the parts, including the spring. It no longer does that.

For once we are sending it in via snail mail. Save us 2 spots!!!!

Thanks for the reminder.

I didn't attend EOT this year, but I did hear that the number of vendors were not as plentiful as what they used to be. One person that was going to go said the cost was prohibitive. Another said multiple big companies were not in attendance like they were in the past.
I would suggest that the folks organizing and running big matches be mindful of this trend. Your first order of business is for the shooters, always. Vendors enhance the experience at at these events for the competitors and the public. It would be a shame to price these folks out of attendance.
This reminds me of the "tax the rich" mantra I've been hearing in politics the past few years. We see people leaving California and NY. Do we want this happening at the matches, too?
Just a thought.

I have several sets of Rugers, but my favorites are my Piettas in .45. I'm not sure how old they are, but they look good with the finish holding up well and are quite accurate. I've heard that they are very similar to 2nd generation Colts. That said, shoot what you like, this is America where we all have choices.

So sorry to hear it's closing. Thanks to Barb and Zona for their years of hard work and sweat. It's so sad to see a venue like this popular spot shut down.

I have a rag that I roll the hulls over to wipe off the dirt before I put them in my press. I'm too lazy to do any washing or rinsing.

I think rifle and shotgun tuning would help more than tuning pistols. I've felt the actions on a slicked up pistol and boy howdy, it was smooth. But my Pietta clones are good enough for me and the rifle and shotgun made a big difference in my times. Of course I'm much slower now as I get older and never did threaten any top gun shooter. If your transitions and efficiency of movements are top notch and you have the money, go for it.

I clean our guns when they get crunchy. With the fine dust blowing around, you can get a Southwest Action job with no effort on your part.

No pic, the gun is in the back of my safe. No need to pull all out for a pic.

Irreplaceable.

The wife and I like to stop in during the week to escape the crowds. If you go East through town, you'll find the Tombstone Antique Mall on the North side of the HWY. Lots of unique items there.

I claimed the 650, so consider that SPF.

I'm gonna buy a barrel from BD. Thanks again for all of your replies.

I would suggest a slicked up and short stroked rifle would be done more often than extensive and expensive revolver work.

It's a solid frame gun. The barrel is very rough, but maybe I'm just over thinking it. If I found a barrel for $100 or so, I'd be tempted to replace it. Thanks for all of your replies.

I might end up with a cheese grater barrel.

The .22 pistols I see fail most often are the Heritage ones. Rugers have a good warranty if they ever fail.
