Hi all,
New member here. First post.
Picked up a new ss from Bud's, sight unseen. Fit and finish are very good and the wood is pretty decent. Trigger is not bad at all... maybe a little heavy but I can live with it. The hammer pull is very heavy though so I might start by removing the small spring and see if that helps.
When I first got it the barrel release lever was really tight. I had to push it so hard I was afraid I might break something. After I got the barrel opened the first time it got a little easier and after working it a few dozen times it's better but still sort of stiff, especially when pushing it to the right. I'm concerned that there may be a problem waiting to happen.
Lastly, the finish on the trigger guard is rough along one edge (see pic). The edge nearest the receiver. Don't know if that's normal or not.
So, if any of you have suggestions or comments I'd sure like to hear them.
Also, if anyone has any springs for sale, please contact me.
