I made my own out of thin brass sheeting until I found Brass dental picks...set of 4...works great and won't scratch stainless.
I never much worried about scratching the stainless there. I'm just gonna cover it up with crud again.

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.

I don't know about Winchester primers, I'm using Federal, they are soft enough to lite off with a lite trigger pull of my 929.
Federal are the softest primer, and therefore are the preferred primer for a tuned revo.

Same here, but I download with 185 coated to about 140, or less.
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.

...I was thinking of shooting limited6 with it in Icore, i know not the best choice. But my other options are a 44 redhawk and SW 25. other ones are 8 shooters
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

Younger shooters have a more questioning attitude? Younger shooters have forgotten the old occluded sights?

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.

I was going to say the same thing, but I will remain mute.

Jerry Miculek talked vision on the 3 Gun Show a few years back.

I was surfing Amazon and came across "pin gauges". So I ordered three.
.356, .357, .358
They were only a few bucks each. Well now that I've got them I cleaned the three guns I wanted to check. My 627, 686+, and 929.
The .357 pin fits thru the throats on all three guns. The .358 pin didn't go thru any of them.
So, now that I know this, what do I do? Just toss them in my tool box?
Now you can say that .358 is the correct size cast bullet for your revo.

Wowzer, how many rounds on that?
Dunno, I lost count at 30k 5-6 years ago

Has anyone mentioned yet, that if you cut down .38 special cases you might have problems with them bulging due to the inside case taper?
...resulting in keyholing. I had keyholing when I tried to trim to 38 super length.

Your point out round count was dumb.
Now this is the kind of scintillating discussion I come to BEnos for.

Oh I am sure. Only pointing out how what should be to spec 5° is zero just a flat cut.
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.

Oh I am sure. Only pointing out how what should be to spec 5° is zero just a flat cut. As long as the cyl chamber lines up and throat size is good things are gtg. Was not meant as a knock on your pistola. Many of mine are the same way. BTW what model is that?
An old 5" 627

S&W really spent some time on that forcing cone. Nice 5° lapped smooth. :eyeroll:
My gun? It holds the A zone on an IPSC turtle target at 50 yards. It it ain't broke.

If you clean there it'll just make the top strap erosion more noticable.

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)

Not inconceivable, although I don't think my headspace measurement was particularly low.
I typically correct end shake before even considering the headspace or cylinder gap.

Of late I go to the line w 4 pouches w 10rnds in each mag and an 11rnd in my pocket for make ready.
Previously I went to the line w 5 pouches w five 10rnd mags in them and an 11 in a pocket for make ready.
I have gone to that 5th mag (actually a 6th) maybe 4 times in 7 years....
Currently I only use the magnet to hold a partial mag after unloading or to put a mag off a barrel onto my belt.
I just haven't seen stage design lately (years) where I had a planned 5th reload.
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.

At the end of the day production still isn't a relevant division and none of this matter because it's not going anywhere.
I fixed that for you.
Production numbers mirror revolver around here

Revolver participation has been declining for a long time.
I dunno, we were getting more revo shooters than production or single stack shooters for a while last year in eastern Colorado

No they are calling it Classic Nationals since it's Single Stack, Revolver and L10. Production is in October with Limited and Open
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.

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.
