If I was a crazy millionaire, I'd buy this thing so quick. http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt...?Item=134643127  Except that there's no way I'd fire it, so maybe it's just nice to look at from afar.

MOSFET posted:You can't fit an ejector rod on a short barreled single action revolver. The empty cases must be pushed out with a rod of some sort. The base pin can be utilized for this task if the entire cylinder is removed. You can dig 'em out with your fingernails if you have to. It's not the best solution, but it works. Don't ask me how I know this.

Picked up a Single Six at the gunshow Saturday, I have been wanting one for a while but I am just unwilling to buy one $350, so I jumped at one at $200 in good shape (well mostly this gun's bluing is a thing of the past, everything else is great though, and Ill be damned if I don't like the worn look). I'll put up a picture if anyone cares. The only issue I have is that it only came with the .22WMR cylinder. When I got it home and compared it to my stepfather's single six (which he has had since he was 14 and with which he shot himself in the leg quick drawing, to my dying day I will be amazed his parents didn't take the gun away after he did that) it turned out that my cylinder wouldn't quite fit into his gun. I was planning on buying a .22LR cylinder before that point, now I am wondering if there is more to it then just picking up any old Single Six cylinder. If I get any old cylinder am I going to be pissed off because it doesn't work right? Anything specific to watch for?

Does your serial # appear on here? http://www.ruger-firearms.com/Firea...-RE-SSixMM.html I am no kind of Ruger collector but there's been quite a few iterations of the Single Six. I'm sure there's some Ruger forums out there if you want a better answer than that. ps. http://www.gunblast.com/Hamm_MagnumOnly_SingleSix.htm

Ok, I will get a picture of it up. No, it is a new model single six, from what I can find the serial number is either 1979 or 1980 (my SN falls between the 2).

I just picked up a Ruger sp101. Question - I've been reloading .38 special with my Lee .38 die sets - can I load .357 magnum using the .38 set?

BizzaroprOn posted:I just picked up a Ruger sp101. It's theoretically possible; some die sets are billed as both, though they usually come with a collar that lets you easily adjust the dies for the two different case lengths. Without that collar, it would take some experimentation to get the dies set just right, and you might not get a true full-length resize on a .357 Mag case.

I use lee .38 dies to load .357 and I have noticed that I don't get a full resize. But in the 3-4 revolvers and one rifle I have shot my load in I have never noticed it making a difference. Even with hotter loads everything chamber and extracts just fine.

Dear Ron Mexico and other revolver loving TFR peoples, I have in my possession (well access) two revolvers and I was wanting to know a bit about them, just general info and opinions on them as I know next to nothing about wheelguns. First is a S&W Model 19-2 if I'm reading it correctly and is one of my grandfather's old service revolvers. The other is a S&W Model 65-1 (again if I'm looking at it right). He purchased it but never used it as a carry gun and then gave it to my parents along with the other one where they languished for years neglected. I keep meaning to ask him about them and intend to the next time I see him, but it's late and he's asleep so I can't call him up. So I come to the net to have you guys fulfill my desires for instant gratification. I could take some pics for research / masturbatorial purposes if desired. Also any tips on cleaning them? The 19 has a bit of rust, other than that just a shitload of powder residue in the barrels / cylinders. Just treat em like any semi-auto?

Is the 19 Nickel plated? (I don't believe the 65 would be unless someone did it after the factory, but I could be mistaken there)

My 629 Mountain Revolver is the heaviest recoiling handgun I own. Worse than my 3" 629, worse than my .460. It's also one of the sexiest.

sza/Ron, did your Mountain Guns have wood or rubber grips? The first stuff I put through my Redhawk was some very light Magtech Cowboy Action .44spl... I knew the recoil would be less than .44mag, but it was like the difference between .22lr & .40S&W.

Uncle Caveman posted:sza/Ron, did your Mountain Guns have wood or rubber grips? Mine came with a lovely set of Pachmayrs that ripped my hand open the first time I shot it. I put a Hogue monogrip on it, which was good at eating up the recoil, but now it has a set of wood Nill grips on it. At Fang's advice I bought a pair that covers the backstrap. It does seem to help--I guess being hit with wood is less painful than being hit with metal. Here's a picture of it with the Pachmayrs the day I bought it:  Notice how mine has the front edge of the cylinder chamfered. It's one of the original 1989 series called a "Mountain Revolver" instead of a "Mountain Gun". Edit: Top left of this photo is the current pair of Nills:

I finally got to take the .22Mag wheelie out and it was a lot of fun. The red/orange front sight makes life pretty easy, and picking off targets from 50' didn't prove too hard. This was a buddy taking care of an old Budweiser can we'd hit a few other times. Yeah, we made a smiley out of target stickers. Big whoop, wanna fight about it? The grip is very comfortable, and fit even some big sets of hands without a problem.  Far as ammo goes, there wasn't much of a noticeable difference between .22WMR and the old school .22WRF, which is nice because WRF is cheap as poo poo when you can find it. Overall, very fun gun, locks up well, and while the DA is rough as hell right now, I'm not really concerned with firing it in DA so it all works out.
