  1. That's how I got into the trade. I wanted to learn how to fix the stuff that a local bow mechanic in Glenwood CO jacked up.
  2. I never much worried about scratching the stainless there. I'm just gonna cover it up with crud again.
  3. Most likely a bent ejector rod or never crane. Checking the crane requires a gauge. Straightening either part involves banging on it with a lead babbitt. If you've never done it, bring it to a gunsmith you trust or send it to Smith. The other parts don't grow metal. If it worked before, removing metal will likely just damage the part. Parts for many of the older revos are unavailable. Some of the modern parts can be used, but many of them have gone thru design changes.
  4. Federal are the softest primer, and therefore are the preferred primer for a tuned revo.
  5. I can't be bothered loading a special round for ICORE and re-zeroing my revolvers when I change. I shoot the same ammo I load for USPSA.
  6. What's wrong with the 25? I shoot a 625 5" in L6 for ICORE. I make 172 power factor, but it doesn't make as much of difference shooting at ICORE speeds
  7. https://www.gunsandammo.com/editorial/single-point-dot-sight/368936
  8. I installed a .160 rear blade in the factory sight for the same reason. I'm contemplating a pair of Bowen sights, but I haven't coughed up the money yet.
  9. I was going to say the same thing, but I will remain mute.
  10. Jerry Miculek talked vision on the 3 Gun Show a few years back. https://3gunshow.com/2017/11/07/160-the-importance-of-vision-with-jerry-miculek-3gs-greatest-hits/
  11. Now you can say that .358 is the correct size cast bullet for your revo.
  12. ...resulting in keyholing. I had keyholing when I tried to trim to 38 super length.
  13. Now this is the kind of scintillating discussion I come to BEnos for.
  14. I re-read your post this morning. What are you talking about that should be 5 degrees? The back of the barrel, or the forcing cone? The rear of the barrel is always flat. The forcing cone is cut to one of 2 angles and there is usually a small chamfer on the leading edge.
  15. For a 10 round division, the worst case scenario is a stage that breaks down into 6 round positions. If the positions only had 5 rounds, you could just shoot 2 positions with the same mag. For a 32 round stage with 6 round positions, you'll need 5 mags. If it's an empty start, you'll need those 5 mags on your belt. I generally like an extra mag left on my belt for emergencies, so I bring a Barney mag to the line as well. With magnets, I've moved my Barney mag out of my pocket and onto the magnet. I don't generally reload off the magnet on the clock during a stage that doesn't require it. So for me it's still 5 pouches and a magnet. For single stack major, this logic works out to 6 pouches plus a magnet. Number of pouches = 32 / ((capacity / 2)+1)
  16. I typically correct end shake before even considering the headspace or cylinder gap.
  17. A more common use for the 5th mag is clearing a malfunction where you drop the mag from the gun, rack the slide and then reload. I used to get some practice doing this in matches with my P226.
  18. I fixed that for you. Production numbers mirror revolver around here
  19. I dunno, we were getting more revo shooters than production or single stack shooters for a while last year in eastern Colorado
  20. It's all the divisions that no one but us cares about. That's why it's early in the season before the snow States can even get out and practice. We're second class citizens.
