The Colt SAA would have made us all know what we were missing LOL
I somedays wish I could UnNew my NewModels. Maybe one day I will do just that for fun...weld it up and make one a 3 Screw.Too bad they didn't design the New Model from the start.
We wouldn't have our cherished Old Models but we wouldn't know what we are missing either.
There are kits/parts to do just that available out there. Power Custom comes to mind. Well they won't make a three screw but they give the half cock and the operation of the OM.I somedays wish I could UnNew my NewModels. Maybe one day I will do just that for fun...weld it up and make one a 3 Screw.
It would be MINE..or one of my Son's..we don't do lawyers.Talk about lawyer fodder!!!
I'm talking actually with OM internals and Screws.There are kits/parts to do just that available out there. Power Custom comes to mind. Well they won't make a three screw but they give the half cock and the operation of the OM.
What do you think something like that would cost? I mean if you were doing it for someone other than yourself.I'm talking actually with OM internals and Screws.
(I can feel the Torches and Pitchforks coming in the distance..Before anyone says "You Can't Do That", with 50yrs in the Welding and Machining Trade...yes, yes I can...I have a shop full of equipment..It could be amusing..LOL)
And the bleeping, a reminder to check the kid in the back seatRather than teach new drivers how to adjust their car mirrors, we now have a convex right side mirror, little blinking lights and beeps to tell them when a car is on their side, also a brake interlock pedal so children left in a running car cannot shift into drive, a low tire pressure warning system, rear view mirrors that go dark when a car in in back of you at night with their lights on, incessant beeping until your seat belts are fastened, trunk and door ajar warnings and more all for a driver in a two foot square seat in a car.
We shouldn't expect it to get better, lawyers and morons made this over reach on safety happen and morons, lawyers and sympathetic jury members will make it continue. Then there's OSHA

I wouldn't...What do you think something like that would cost? I mean if you were doing it for someone other than yourself.
I actually asked this question on another forum, and the answer is yes. You can convert a NM to an OM. You can also buy OM pre-conversion parts to unconvert a converted OM.I somedays wish I could UnNew my NewModels. Maybe one day I will do just that for fun...weld it up and make one a 3 Screw.
No more than any other accidental discharge. If you handle a gun "unsafely" and someone gets shot, you'll be lucky if you only face a lawsuit.Talk about lawyer fodder!!!
Why?A friend of mine is in his 80's and has a 1958 vintage Ruger Single-Six that is unconverted. He insists on loading all 6 chambers. I keep trying to convince him to only putting 5 in the cylinder by loading 1 chamber, skipping 1 chamber, loading 4 and cocking the hammer fully then lowering it on the empty chamber. Nothing I say can convince him to carry it with 5 rounds... Any ideas how I can convince him to load it safely?
You would take a hammer to someone else's revolver? What's wrong with you?I have actually thought about hitting the hammer with a soft face mallet to show him the results.
Then let him the frak alone! Why do you want to control him?He is fully with it mentally.
Excuse me all to Hell for trying to get the guy to handle his revolver safely. Do you have any other opinions? I had a conversation with the guy about loading 5 versus 6 in his Old Model Single-Six. I wasn't nasty or preachy about it. He and I were talking about shooting and Ruger single action revolvers and I asked if he loaded 5 or 6. I am not trying to control him. Now go find something else to amuse yourself....Then let him the frak alone! Why do you want to control him?
If I was going to demonstrate with a hammer it would be with permission and on a full chamber with the firing pin in contact with the primer or rim of the fully loaded cylinder. Loading 6 and immediately shooting at the range or at targets is one thing. Carrying with 6 is another story. I don't want to see anyone get hurt by something that is so easy to do safely.Perhaps you should also ask him if he uses the "Safety Notch", and IF he is Sure all the internals are in perfect working order..if he does and you smack it with a Hammer...NOTHING will happen..except you may actually damage the Hammer and or Trigger.
