I was sitting there watching Jack Bauer chase the bad guys while cocking and decocking my converted .44 Special OM Blackhawk. Not dry firing, just going for that 10,000 cycle smoothness! Plus it builds up my muscle memory for this gun. Anyway, suddenly things felt different and I looked down. The three pieces of the base pin assembly had separated and they were sitting in my lap.
I've never taken that apart so it wasn't my fault! But then I never checked it either. I figured out how to put it back together. But I must be missing some crucial piece of information. You can't tighten it with a screwdriver since one side is blocked by that little protruding nub in the middle of the slot. But if you only finger tighten it, you will someday lose it in the tall grass.
So what's the secret on putting this thing back together in a way that this won't happen when I'm out shooting in the woods?
Thanks,
Gregg
