Maybe slip a feeler gauge in there to force it to depress. It has to be some built up carbon in there. I have to clean the button after firing a. Outlet hundred rounds.

Is the hammer pulled back to the first click? It's a requirement for my NAA minis to come apart.

685 is a good price. About what paid for a nice 1972 standard model a year or so ago. I paid a bit more for a 100 year anniversary model with octagonal barrel. Get both, they ain’t making them like...

I would have to have one in 3030 and one in 357. Right next the levers in the cabinet.

That maple is beautiful. I was about to ask what the finish was. It looked glossy and deep which said tru oil but the color was different. I love it.

I would look for loads with weight stated at 275 grain to 300 grains. Load data for heavier boolits is safe for lighter boolits. No so the other way around. Most refer to "as cast" as no check or...

Is it a black powder round? How many grains of powder does it take to move that golf ball of a boolit?

Very similar to the Lee 95 grain rf. I use it in 380 all the time and 38 special occasionally.

I'm in the same camp as Bazoo. Its period correct and we all would have prolly added a sight of some sort back then in lieu of scopes. If the sight functions, the finish I'd good and the bore is...

I do love doing it. Did a birds eye maple stock for a Marlin 60 first. Then one every couple of years. It's a little therapeutic when I get home from work.

Its not so much work, just a lot of hurry up with the tru oil, then wait, hurry up, then wait. I bet there's 20 coats of oil on that thing. The torch really helped with the bluing. Soon as I pay the...

This reminds me a lot of the RC cars and boats that Ive built. When I was young, the speed control was an arm turned by a servo. Depending on which of the three contact points that the arm was swung...
