Why do you like it better than the scandium x27's? I would think that the lighter scandium would be better for steel (faster transitions?), since recoil would not be that big a factor with sub-minor loads? Thanks in advance for your input!

Would it be okay to listen to it even if I haven't yet read/listened to With Winning in Mind? TIA!

Congratulations!

Can you increase the chamfer on a Ti cylinder? And polish the insides? Or would it be a bad idea? I remember reading something about how Ti cylinders have a special coating that needs to be left alone, but then again I may be wrong.

An Apex online store would be great!

Is there an appreciable difference in felt recoil between a minor loaded 686 (L-frame) and a minor loaded 625 (N-frame)? I know recoil is subjective, but it can't hurt to ask, having never fired a 686 before...

My friend has been calling Apex but has been getting nothing but their answering machine. Where else is the Apex hammer, firing pin and spring available? If any of you guys have spares (and a PayPal account too, to make things easier) that would be great. Cheers!

Somebody better get that fast. It's a complete IDPA rig -- and with extras, to boot! Ah, if only I lived there... Yup. had a buyer but he had a sudden emergency so it is still here

The JM springs are not enough. You will still need the services of a good gunsmith -- preferably one that shoots revolvers himself (they're getting harder and harder to find in our neck of the woods, Dagz) and thus knows what he's doing. A good action job has two components to it: 1) smoothness and 2) lightness. Smoothness is more important (heavy but smooth is better than light but gritty) and that's where the gunsmith comes in. He will disassemble all the action parts that come in contact and will stone them to get as little friction as possible. Some gunsmiths are better at this than others. Jerry's "Revolver Action Job" video can show you how it's done, if you're mechanically inclined and have the right tools (sharpening stones, mostly) to do it yourself. Bubber, right now, all we have are Winchester primers and nothing else. It sucks, I know. And please add this to my Christmas wishlist: 1) A reliable source of Federal primers. Heck, even an unreliable source is good enough; I'll just buy once, but buy enough to last me two years. 2) That Carmoney decides to visit the Philippines with his magic Dremel and sharpening stones. San Miguel beer's on me

THAT has got to be the coolest setup I've ever seen! Makes me wish I were a Scotsman so I can wear a kilt, hehe.

That looks really cool!

My goodness, you guys think $1,700 is too much... That's what I paid for my 625JM last December. The 627PC (.38/.357) is $2540 here, brand new. A plain-jane 6" 686 is $1540, brand new. Aaargh!!! *bangs head against wall*

Aargh, I don't know how many times I've wished I live in the U.S., or that Carmoney lives here in the Philippines, just so I can send him my 625 for "Carmonizing!" Sorry for the OT... carry on guys...

This gave me the shivers...
