  1. I called Clark and they told me to email their revolver smith. I did and I haven't heard anything back. Mojo, TK custom I tried a bunch of folks. When I was younger I always wanted one and now all these smiths that do PPC are dying or retiring. I should go get my prostate checked. 

  2. Called dillon  they said it should not affect the function but offered to send a new one out. I already ordered one so i declined.

    I checked my primer slide cup/pin/spring assembly and it was too long, the set screw was basically loose, made it proper length.

     

    I am now trying to sort out the plate popping/jumping at the last 1/4 of upstroke. 

    It looks like the metal arm that pushes on the metal shell plate pushes inside the plate instead of pushing it out and it seems that is where the snag and sudden jump in my plate happens.

  3. So because I had 1500 remington small pistol primers I loaded some up in my usuall 38 special load with solo 1000. 

    Had to get a new strain screw new main spring and return spring to get the balance right. So now my trigger pull is at 7.6 pounds vs 6 pounds for federal primers.

    So now I have a dedicated spring set for federal primers and one for "hard" primers.

    I also have been keeping track of my round count and cleanings. I can get up to about 1200 rounds before I get ignition problems due to soot and crud buildup under the extractor star and the back of the cylinder crud and crap. 

    For those of us who are godless barbarians who do not clean our revolvers how long can you go before problems crop up?
