Single-Sixer
Gents - I know the collective knowledge here, can help me out. I have a anniversary 357 FT from a few years ago. I jumped at the chance to grab a very nice set of grips for it, on the forum here. The grips were not relieved for the lock on the spring strut inside the frame - my thought was to delete the lock by swapping out a longer strut and spring seat. I grabbed a SS (didn't have blued in stock) spring seat from Midway a few months ago and it's sat in the bag until earlier today. Take the grip frame off and immediately notice the spring seat is not long enough to span the gap from the front to the back of the frame. Took a measurement of the length of the seat and it's almost exactly 1/2" - it could use about another 1/8" to bridge the span. I guess my question(s) - did I wind up with a seat for a Single Six (if they are different)? / do the steel midframes use a different seat? I have a few other Blackhawks and SBHs, but they're all stored away currently, during some home renovations (or I would pull a set of grips to measure the part in one of them) - anyone have any idea? The grips fit perfectly on the frame, I'd just rather eliminate the lock, than clearance the back of the grips - Thanks, Bill in MA
