Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Hi, thanks for your help. I called them all. So far none of the companies could serve me with an original barrel, new or second hand. Not even Colt Custom Service. Barrel-manufacturers: none but one sees fit to provide me with that barrel: The 38 Special Wadcutter for the Colt is a special order. Price is $325.00, Delivery is 6-8 weeks. Bar-Sto Precision Machine Thanks again, BSE1911
  2. Thanks for your input - so far I was not successful, yet. I checked with Clark, Numrich, Sarco, Buehn, KKM, Bill Jarvis, Ed Brown, Brownells. Sometimes I had a problem make them understand what I was looking for: Yes, we have that. Are you sure? .38SPL straight blow back, no lugs, but funny thread in the chamber, no barrel-link! Yes, we have .38 Super barrels. On my list is still Irv from Bar-Sto and Kart. More hints needed. I call them all. Please don't provide 800-numbers as I call from Germany and 800s don't work for me.

  3. just bought me another Colt National Match Mk III Mid Range .38 SPL Wadcutter pistol, mainly because of the 4 mags coming with it. The condition of the gun is quite ok, has an excellent trigger but the barrel is bulged. Would like to donate a new .38 SPL Wadcutter barrel to this pistol and don't want to use it as a source of spares for its sibbling. Does someone have an advice, where to look for second hand original or after market match barrels for this pistol? Thnx BSE1911
  4. Thnx for your input. I did use what you call full wadcutters - if you refer to the OAL of the round. I have no feeding problems with the 52-2, but can't get the gun shooting straight. You are right: I'm using .357 bullets in my SIG210. I have no accuracy problems with that gun. But you are wrong about the diameter of the SIG210-barrel. Take the range-rod Brownells offers and put it into your S&W-revolver, remember the feel, try the same rod in your S&W Mod 52-2 and in a SIG210-barrel. My findings were that if I use the Match-Range-Rod .357 it only fits into the S&W revolver barrel if this is clean, no shot through. With the SIG210 I can shoot 100 rounds and the same rod still fits into the barrel. With my 52-2 the rod does not fit into the barrel at all. So the diameters of the barrels are: SIG 210 .357 + S&W revolver .357+/- S&W 52-2 less than .357 thnx so far BSE1911
  5. Hi there, have several .38 SPL WC pistols, a Colt National Match Mk III, a SIG-Haemmerli 240 and the S&W Mod. 52-2, which makes me headache. Up to now I never was able to find a load that worked with the S&W pistol (and hardly any factory ammo). With every of my handguns I hold the 4 inch easily at 25 meters - but with one. With the S&W pistol-ammo-comination there must be something wrong. My gunsmith said, there are no mechanical reasons for the 1.5 x 1.5 ft. groups. I don't want to complain the pistol, but believe that my handloads must be the fault. Any advise? That handloads sometimes can do funny things I just experienced last monday at the range. Have some 4000 Winchester 158gr JSP .357 bullets but in the moment no revolver use for this diet - so I tried some loads for the 9mmLuger with them. 3.9 gr of 3N37 did the job (function, SIG210, backyard). At the range I tried some 20 shots with two different SIG P210-6 (nice group, worked, didn't check speed, yet) and then I shot 10 shots with my Heckler & Koch P7M8 - not even one hit on the 1.5 x 1.5ft target 25 meters infront of me. Shot some factory ammo with the P7 and it delivered as usual. What is wrong with this load-pistol combination? No idea, assume bullet diameter. This 9mmLuger is only a sidestory. My concern is the S&W Mod 52-2 - as for this I could not find any diet till now. Thnx BSE1911
