ASM's are marked, have to be by law, unless it's been 'defarbed'.....ASM's are typically replicas of the 1st model Schofield, while Uberti's are the 2nd model.....latch is the difference.....ASM's are closer to the actual S&W in dimensions......ASM's were imported by Cimarron, EMF, and Traditions.

This^^^^ Except that the supports for each end of the 4X4 should be round. A piece of pipe or wood dowel on top of the wood block held in place by a couple nails will give more accurate reading. Here is diagram of how to set everything up. W = Tongue weight F = Weight displayed on the scale L needs to equal at least 7 feet. X should equal 1 foot Transforming the formula [ F x L = W x X ] to calculate for an unknown weight. F x L = W X An 8' 4X4 set up so that distance L is 7' will give a margin of error on each end to ensure that nothing shifts and falls and will safely weight up to 1400 pounds of tongue weight without damaging a bathroom scale. Works and can easily be done in your driveway.

Nothin says corruption like an NGO!

There are many ways to clean BP residue which work. So, I doubt there was really a need to My favorite is a 1-1-1 mix of hydrogen Peroxide. rubbing Alcohol, and Murphy's oil soap (abbreviated PAM). It also cleans greasy kitchen appliances. Some folks do NOT like the smell of Ballistol - had an ex or two in that camp. PAM - they liked the smell. It's a lot cheaper to make than a 1-1 mix of Ballistol cleaning solution. Works without warming it up as well. good luck, GJ

I'm gonna side with Subdeacon Joe on this one.

The only people I have heard refer to food as groceries were Southern men. Friend of my Dad’s would say things like “I need some groceries in my belly” or “I am hungry! I need to stuff some groceries down my neck.” He was quite a character. Jerry Reed in “Smokey and the bandit” said something along the lines of “Ah’m gonna haveta get Fred some groceries and shove em down his neck. He’s looking a bit pea-ked!” (Or something along those lines) Image from: https://www.reddit.com/r/GenX/comments/13740rv/burt_reynolds_jerry_reed_1977/

Down the drain? No m, Sir! I'm sure it was properly laundered and went to worthy retirement accounts, golden parachutes, and other baksheesh.

Never heard "redd up". I had an aunt from Ohio who referred to spring cleaning as "'rettin' out stuff ". I took it to be a contraction of "ferreting out"...like pet ferrets were used to get rabbits out of their holes. https://goferrets.com/ferreting-rabitting/

Dave, you misunderstood my statement. I was not questioning how you can insert a loaded magazine into the gun with only one working hand. I was questioning how you can insert ammunition into the magazine with only one working hand. How you load the magazine. Not how you load the gun - how you load the magazine.

Back in ‘86 I rode my Yamaha Seca 550 from my house in Hawthorne, CA to the Laguna Seca Speedway to take a full weekend class in racing. 325 miles in the rain. The weekend was to be beautiful. It wasn’t. Class cancelled. 325 miles home in the pouring rain. That was my 1 and only trip to Laguna Seca.

That's puzzling. The guy doing the cooking is wearing a Walmart vest. I was in a Walmart up in Atlanta, and they had a McDonald's in the store. But the people working there were not Walmart employees. They were McDonald's employees. They wore McDonald's uniforms. That guy should be wearing a vertically striped shirt, not a blue vest.

AH!!! TS Governor. You should lose a lot more....and take the cost out from of all the idiots who have been keeping this BS project afloat for so long. Make them pay it back with interest....maximum interest.

Just got back from testing firing both rifles.. the problem child (Pioneer Gunworks) rifle worked great with no jacked out rounds.. and with the hammer screw backed out to original place.. My backup ‘73 was built by Griners out west.. I had him build it with the Pioneer Super short stroke.. It worked perfectly too.. It actually levers easier than the problem child.. I had a fellow cowpoke there that can shoot and cycle the rifles a heck of a lot faster than me… I had him run thru 10 rounds twice in each rifle.. No fail to fires in his 40 rounds and my 40 rounds.. 👍🏻

Sent you a pm

First bunch of comments are very well worded...not like some of your....well, never mind. I agree with all of that, but you didn't mention the ejected case crossing the line of sight if you fire it left handed. Maybe not a serious issue to some but it bugs me when I fire weak handed. Nicely done. Very nicely done.

A good Cowboy Smith could easily fix the OAL issue by properly beveling the carrier. 1.550" is the typical OAL of .357 ammo. 1.450" is typically 38 special

Hi I have seen some debate about cleaning black powder with all sorts of weird concoctions. I have seen comments that are completely incorrect too. I noticed a debate regarding a product I have used for years whereby someone said why are people buying into the hype? I have to say that ballistol has been around cleaning firearms of every kind for more than a hundred years and is used by many military forces so it's not really hype is it? If you mix Ballistol 1:1 with cold water and run a few patches down it will clean all the shooting residue from the bore and elsewhere. Then a few dry patches and you are done. If there is any left in the bore then when the water evaporates you are left with a layer of the oil and NO rust. I have tried this many times to see, submersing a revolver and leaving it to hang dry for weeks and NO rust at all. It is skin friendly and not toxic and does the job brilliantly and is simple and safe to use. You do not need boiling water or other concoctions, certain not WD 40 high actually attracts moisture over time. i just wanted to clear that one up .
