Holey Smokes ! You're Right !!

I'd like to remove the firing pin from my Super Blackhawk and it appers to be held in position by a pin that is driven in through the loading gate, but I don't see anywhere that the pin can be driven out. Am I missing something ? Can someone explain how the firing pin cup can be removed if it's...

It's really difficult to get a good pic of the bore. And even if I could, it would be difficult to tell how deep the rifling is. I have a lewis lead remover and I cleaned the lead out. After a few passes, I got a bunch of sparkly lead particles , and repeated that til nothing else came out, so...

That's what I'm thinking - I need to find someone who has skills firing DA, because that's a variable that is open, in this equation.

Thanks for the replies. My thoughts are : IF IT HAS LITTLE OR NO EFFECT ON THE GUN'S ACCURACY, then it's not a problem. When I got this gun it was the first gun I got after being forced to sell all my others because I went broke a few years ago. A 3" .357 SP-101 is a good choice as a first...

I've got a bit of experience with Ruger Custome Service dept - No complaints. It took a long time because it was warranty work on a limited edition .41 mag SBH Hunter and they offered a trade but I decided to wait it out, because I really wanted a stainless .41 mag. After about 6 -8 months they...

I have owned my SP 101since about 2008 and I've probably fired it less that 500 times, with 50 of those shots being .357 .. Other than that .38 special. I showed it to someone at a shop where I offered it as a trade in and I'll be keeping it... But he told me that it looks like the rifling is...

I tried posting on Sixgunner.com and I didn't get any more replies there than I got here. I thought that the GNR chamberings were more popular than that, but apparently they're so popular that guys are out away from the internet, having fun.ays they arent It seems like the shoulder on those...

I have a custom job that I decided to fabricate a front sight for. Just because the number of variables and the inability for me to try out different things to find out if they work or not. So I'm going to just make a sight, because it's easier than going through the hassles of buying and...

I used to shoot a .357 Herrett contender with a 11" or 12" barrel. It was a good shooter, and powerful too. I used either 180 JSP or 158 JSP Be sure to read up on reloading, there are some tricks to getting it right, but it isn't too difficult. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. It was really noticably...

Thanks - I'll try that

I have been considering the .410 GNR re-chambering for my .41 mag SBH Hunter. That is the cartridge that's a .454 Casull, necked down to take a .41 bullet. In a revolver it is re-chambered using a 5 shot cylinder. Has anyone here been using that chambering in a revolver? I'm curious what the...

I became interested in the .41 mag about 15 yrs ago and it's my favorite now. Don't give up Another plus to the .41 is that .410 shotshell wads are a proper fit in the barrel and you can reload decent shot loads that behave the way a shot load ought to behave, unlike the .410 shotgun shells...

Thanks for your help

It looks like you fabricated that sight and pinned it. I haven't seen one like it anywhere.
