My blue .44 spl NM ft shoots very close to as small a groups as a custom barreled, line bored Clements Custom 7.5, and the new model flat top is a 4 5/8. Both have Bowen rear sights. I'm talking repeatable 50 yard iron sight groups sandbags of 1,5 to 2.0 inches. 15.0 gr of 2400 or 6.0 Unique...

Trigger shims and an action job will make a world of difference in how you feel about your revolver.

I lucked into a non Premier Six in Freedom arms and put a 2x7 Simmons on it. I scoped my 6.5 three screw .41 with a Leopld 2x8 to work up XTP loads. Turned out that a load of 18.9 IMR 4227 and mag primers was all that my wrist could handle. The two guns grouped exactly the same, so I sold the...

The Critical Defense 32HRM load, I have heard, meets the FBI criteria just fine, so that's what I carry in my LCR. lot of noise there too, but might be better for repeat shots DAO. My back up pieces are SP 101s with 85 or 90 gr 327 loads. I have three. Two in my vehicle or man bag, LCR at two...

My 5.5 came from the factory in perfect spec. Two Dogs custom front and a Bowen rear with Powers hammer and trigger gives a two pound crisp pull with factory springs. Order some cases from Starline and reload for it. Ninety nine gr Sierr+a JHPs are the most accurate. I had never had a Ruger...

Seriously, I would chase both male and female threads carefully, then clean, epoxy and reassemble to the index mark. You should always be able to break the glue with heat if you need to. You have nothing to lose.

Those threads look like my spark plugs when I try to change my own.

This might be long, but could be of interest on this thread. I have three of these great little revolvers in .327 Fed. I like the looks, the heft and they fit my had just right. In double action, for me, the sights come back to good alignment as the trigger breaks...all good. None of them were...

A set of minus pin gauges from .25 inch up to .50 won't set you back more than 150 dollars or even half that. If you are going to do it right, Mr Garza might like to know what the bore slugs at. Then there are gauges that Brownells sells for you to check your forcing cone depth which is...

Most front sights and perhaps pins also are installed from the right looking from the breech. Using a heavier hammer and more force on the first blow is recommended rather than multiple light taps which may peen and fatten the pin in the middle which you don't want. I've never had to use Kroil...

I have a 290 inch Henry in .327, blue receiver with round barrel. Even with receiver sights it feels too heavy to be handy. My ,357 Microgroove sixteen inch is just right for packing, I would buy just about any single shot in .327 and a Number 3 would be fine.

Good topic. I agree wholeheartedly with the OP looking for thinner grips. Since I cannot get my hand around the factory Bisley grips or one by a custom maker member here without feeling like I was going to drop the revolver, I sold the grip frame and bought an XR3-Red. Nice Owen Four Bore in...

I lucked into a twenty inch Henry in .327 wanting to put receiver sights on it, but several problems arose. I could not get point of impact to meet any cosmetically acceptable appearance of the sights. By moving the front sight almost half way off the barrel could finally sight in and get an...
