All in but the shooting and sight adjustments now.
Beautiful rust black on the EH&R set now. Running around the house shouting A Screw, A Screw, My Kingdom for a SCREW! I misplaced the EH&R retention screw.....found it where I left it....in the safe with the revolver.
Go side, installed and looking fine. Smooth function, no hang up in the notch noted. We'll see how it does at the range.
Business end....three large holes.....looks like a Drilling Rifle from here....
Love handle side, unless ya carry Crossdraw, then its still Love Handle side! I need to photo this gun in some good natural light.
A little better shot of this simple modification of the factory EH&R set up.
The button cams nicely out of the way, plenty of room to get the cylinder pin in and out of the gun for cleaning and maintenance.
This is full cartridge lift with the EH&R system shortened to fit a 3.5" long barrel and leave about 1/16" of barrel in front of the end of the EH&R housing. I think one might just be able to go to a barrel length of 3 1/4" and still have cartridge lift that would allow extraction. Removing the backside of the loading gate frees up more working room for fingers.....As much as I'd like to try a 3 1/4" barreled full ejection system I may make one up for me with a 3" barrel, tapered to .6" at the muzzle and NO EH&R and no swell on the show side of the frame.
