Old School

So who had the correct diagnosis here?

Let's take a look at this...If I have any of the facts wrong please correct me. With the muzzle tipped down it functions The cylinder has forward and aft play when empty along the axis of the ejector rod The cylinder if I am correct does not have recessed rim rebates(rear of cylinder is flat faced) If you put empty / or loaded cartridges in the chamber does the revolver function? If all this is correct the cylinder rachett i binding on the pawl when the cylinder is held muzzle up from the cylinder slipping back. It's the new Smith design....

There's talk about NJFW allowing centerfire rifles for yotes next year. AR love...

The pelts are worth $ properly skinned. Let me see what I can find out. Head shots my man.

See if the ejector rod is loose. It tightens counter clockwise. If you are going to tighten it with channel locks slip a 22rimfire case over it to protect it. Don't mess with it too much. If not a simple fix back to S&W it goes.

Thousands of kids drown in a bath tub or swimming pool every year. Firearms accidents are a very small cause of accidental deaths in children. That being said... How do we train people in firearms safety? Make it mandatory? I think not, because I don’t want to see more government involvement. How about we enforce stiff penalties on those involved in accidents, other than their self imposed emotional pain. This may compel people to get voluntary training without affecting their Constitutional Rights. Your thoughts… And yes, my heart goes out to this family over this tragedy.

As I've said I've had good results with 748 and I'm using CFE as well. CFE seems to work pretty well and is an accurate an economical as 748. If you are having problems getting 748 I encourage you to use CFE.

As a general rule for the 1911 platform, I won't buy someone elses build or non-professionally modified pistol. It's just me!

I love my 1911's, BHP and S&W wheel guns. My personal defense guns are GLOCKs.

In a 1911 platform I would buy it. #1 You won't save any money building, IMHO #2 If you ever are forced to sell it it will have better resale value.

Always a man of his word!

LOL... It's nice to see two of the nicest desparados on the forum interacting. Oh yeah, If I check the back of the safe I think I have a wheel gun...

Easier on the eyes than the other desparados

No SHE gave me a gentle tap on the shoulder which was rather nice!

Yep!! Have one and intend to get another barrel soon. BTW because it it accepts modern cartridge barrels it is delt with as a firearm by Federal law not a Black powder rifle.

Dave - Shotgun shoot for the forum at Clinton Sunday

Very close Mark!!! I walked to the shooting line with a cigarette in my mouth, endangering everyone with second hand smoke.

Sunday I was corrected at CR for endangering the lives of others as well as myself. The RO took it well, I took it well and I wasn't ejected from the range since it was my first time and I apologized and corrected the situation. I was embarrassed and won't do it again!

Chris - Both of the triggers the OP posted links to are said to have 5.5# triggers. What's the difference? Edit - On inspection one trigger looks modular.

Hey Stic - keep posting and get rid of that dabbler status. Agreed!! Tori has a lot going for her...

Manny - Here's what I shoot. Not terribly pricey considering. Down side (maybe) 1:9 twist ,223 Rem chamber Now it is a good shooter w/ 55gr and now working up to 69 gr. PM me and I think I can source you a barrel. BTW this is a 24" DPMS barrel and I've bore scoped it and it does have a few broach marks but is a tack driver. And I'm sorry to those that have seen these obnoxious pics before.

You make an incredibly important point! Less training time and only one rule to remember...."Don't touch the trigger and it will not discharge"
