I agree about the factory mags.However,you cant't go wrong with Mecgar mags.They make some for the manufacturers but they are not always marked with Mecgar name.

Offer him a lead sandwich.You have to be hospitable.Never know what the poor unfortunate's home life was like. :roll:

Thanks for all the input and sorry for some of your troubles.I did shoot it at the public range but they only have two distances(15-25 yards).At 15 yards,with a six o'clock hold shots were on center but about 3-4 in high.This might be expected with a 6in barrell at 15yds.Did not get a chance to...

I have been saving for a used single six(if and when one shows up).However,my funds were eaten up because I needed a trans for my work car(90 Taurus).I picked one up at a junk yard.I could not wait for a six shooter any longer and bought a Tanfoglio ta 22 thru a guy at work.It does not seem to...

Thanks for the info.I will check out all the advice.

Is there a tool or technique to cleaning out the forcing cone? The brush is too thin at the cone to really brush it out.When I shoot lead I get a decent build up there.Any advice greatly appreciated.

I bought a used older style(no rail,ten round mags)but it looked new.It certainly did not have many rounds thru it.The recoil spring was not captured but I did not realize it and did not affect performance.Flawless.Before I shot it gave it a good cleaning and lube.I am not the greatest shot but...

Ten thousand comedians out of work and have found a home here. :lol: But seriously thanks for the responses.It is interest to know what came before.

Ok all you history buffs.What tools,cleaners and lube were available to Wyatt Earp to clean and lube his sixguns? :?:

Victank1,thanks for the encouragement.I have the word out to the shops for used single six.New out of my price range but I have patience(only took me 50+ years).

When I was a kid sometimes I would be the good guy and sometimes the bad guy.When I was the bad guy I did not suddenly want to rob a bank for real.It was fantasy.I think kids today get fantasy and realty mixed up and I think it relates to those video games.I don't hear the politcos screaming for...

Isn't it ironic that many of us older guys grew up with toy guns and there was never any school shootings or the craziness like today.It has gotten worse,for some reason,since they tightened control on toy guns etc.I do not think that toys are the problem.It is the violence in tv,movies and...

That guys from another planet. :D

Thanks for the heads up.It was something out of the ordinary that's why I wanted to inquire first.By the way those toy Fanners are going for around 350 if it is complete sets.Man,I wish I would have kept some of that old "stuff" I had back then.Who knew?

When I was a kid I had a toy gun called the Fanner 50.It's notable feature was being able to fan the hammer with your free hand.For the fun of it if I can pick up a single six can you fan the hammer? I know it is a showoff move and not good for accuracy but,hey, Roy Rogers did it.Just curious.
