A new spring will take a set within a few minutes of being fully compressed, and that set will not change even if it remains compressed for years. What eventually wears a spring out is repeated cycles of compression and release.

Anyone who might have questions about Rossi levergun quality can take this for what it's worth. I just got a 16" R92 .45 Colt this week. By any mass-produced standard today, they are superb. Mine, the blued version, has a metal finish to rival any, at any time.The wood they use is a mystery, bu...

I have two Rossi R92's, the newest a 16" carbine and a 10-year-old 24" rifle, both .45 Colt. Other than their goofy bolt safety (easily and neatly removed) they are the equal of any Winchester.

Excellent advice. I got serious with handgun hunting 30+ years ago when I stumbled into a screaming good pawn shop deal on a 7.5" Ruger Bisley .45 Colt equipped with a Weigand scope base and a Tasco ProPoint red dot sight. Since then half my time afield is spent hunting with this gun. It's a wo...

My question is since these appear to be based on Marlin frames can they handle the Ruger Only types of pressures?

.30-30 pressures run around 46,000 psi. Unless you are making up .454 Casull-equivalent .45 Colt loads, this rifle will be fine.

Most people don't read insurance contracts -- and that's what I knew this was the first time I read their literature. Not only is it an insurance policy, it is a very restricted one. Essentially, what it boils down to is -- if you get charged, they won't pay. :( Here's news -- if you're NOT charged,...

It is clearly a psy-op, and it's working. The question is, what is all the misdirection intended to over up? Eventually, it will become clear, and the challenge then will be to call BS on the whole thing. Lots of people are going to fall for it hook, line and sinker -- whatever it is...

It'll handle the same pressure-level loads as a Marlin 336, because essentially that's what it is.

An interesting note (to me): Col.

Is a $600 revolver of better quality than a $200 revolver? How is that even a question?

The Wrangler is an excellent $200 revolver; the Single Six is an excellent $600 revolver. They are not the same thing. Take your pick.

Forget 100-or-200-year storms (by the way, you can have 2 or three in a year -- and then not have one for 500 years) ; the last time there was equivalent flooding in the Asheville area, for instance, was 1790. Here in SC, we are beginning to experience flooding from the runoff, as the major Atlantic...

A satisfying restoration of a first-rate thumper.

Your loads are too low-pressure. When a primer fires, it backs out a bit on all cartridges. In normal loads, the case is then slammed backwards and the spent primer is fully re-seated. A too-weak load does not accomplish the needed re-seating and the protruding primer ties the gun up.

Well, both blued and stainless guns will suffer the same wear; it will just be more visible at a glance on the blued one. The slight finish wear that eventually occurs does not harm the functionality of either. That, plus the fact of being more rust-resistant (NOT rust-proof) are the only advantages...

If it has that "drag thru" feel, that's a GI trigger, not a 2-stage. Get something like a Rock River Arms Match 2-stage and you'll see a world of difference. Weightless take-up, followed by a crisp 3.5-4 pound clean break.

I have owned .357 revolvers that were MORE accurate shooting .38s -- and some that were less. So the answer to your question is that your gun will do what it'll do.

Never had that specific iteration, but the 24-inch .45 I sadly traded away while in a fever was a perfect gem. Given a decent price I'd snatch up a new one tomorrow.

Pisgah

Why call it a .38 if the bullet diameter is .357? Or call it a .44 when in fact it is a .429?

Because...that's what they do.

No. They never enter the throat, and pose no problem for the throat or the rest of the chamber.

The willingness to employ your gun is vastly more important than its caliber. I actually know people who carry a gun thinking they can just use it to scare away bad guys. Those folks have already lost their gunfight, whether they carry a .45 or a.22...
