Round_Gun_Shooter Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Some carry an extra revolver but some carry parts. What parts do you usually have in with your gear in case of breakage? I have a small plastic box with the following: spare main spring-1 reduced power, one standard factory Spare strain screw cut and tested//another full length in case of ammo problems Spare screw assortment- #1, #2, #3 and sight screws spare bolt, plunger and spring (had one break once) Spare fiber optic rod for front sight//spare rear sight complete Spare trigger//spare hammer (for 25-2 in case hammer nose breaks) Spare firing pins, springs, and pins for 625 (IDPA revo) Cylinder stops and springs Hands fitted reasonably close. And a few other assorted small parts. So, what am I missing? (I leave the battery powered Dremel in the car ) I should be able to repair most problems at a safe area without having to go to a 4" gun in USPSA.

hopalong Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I carry : 1 Smith & Wesson 5" 625....... Set up EXACTLY like the other! Well maybe a different color of grip but otherwise.... Will be running into a small problem though...... Am going to start running a 25-2.......I have two of these, One is almost race ready...I'll cristen it at the Mississippi Classic. The other is 95+% and will be a safe queen for a good long while. Need to find another 25 to butcher and slice on....until then the back up will be .....2- 5" 625s Good luck.......always a good reason to buy another HOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haras Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Oooo...

I also carry a larger tackle box that has my cleaning supplies and field tools. I was a boy scout. "Be Prepared" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 SNIPGood luck.......always a good reason to buy another HOP Unfortunately I am selling not buying so if necessary, I will rebuild but Thanks. I also have a spare 6.5" barrel Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrettone Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I carry :1 Smith & Wesson 5" 625....... Set up EXACTLY like the other! HOP Ditto... I bring twin sisters (2 S&W 5" 625's)when I shoot. They both have all the bells 'n whistles. I think smithing at the range sucks!!! But, you do what you have to do, and work with what you have!!!

haras Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 So, what am I missing?I recommend you get a spare set of side plate screws. Especially the yoke screw. If you are going to be prepared for changing the mainspring or strain screw I'd recommend testing the setup ahead of time and writing down where to set the screw for ___ pounds. Even better, carry a trigger gauge with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See original spare main spring-1 reduced power, one standard factorySpare strain screw cut and tested//another full length in case of ammo problems Spare screw assortment- #1, #2, #3 and sight screws Got that covered except for trigger gauge. (#1, 2 & 3 are the side plate and yoke screws) Keep going, but I think if I can't fix it with what I got, time to break out the cooler and get ready for the trip home. It's funny though, in the time since this thread started, I have fixed and tested three guns, sighted in my reflex on the AR, loaded ammo, and made four trips to the range to test it all out. Nice having a range up the street Thanks, Edited April 22, 2006 by Round_Gun_Shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooney Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'm lucky- I carry a Round_Gun_Shooter in my squad (usually). Barring that, I am S.O.L.- would have to go to my carry **GULP** gun. 3.5" bbl for IPSC....oh boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubber Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 RGS. About the only thing not listed is the ejector rod tightening tool that I have been threatening to put in my box when I find it again. I just hate using pliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revchuck Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) Since you brought up these parts, Gil Hebard Guns is clearing out some S&W revolver parts: Flat and round head plate and yoke screws, $1.20 each; Strain screws for N RB, K RB and K SB, $1.20 each; Thumbpiece (stainless) for K, L & N, $8.50 each; Thumbpiece nut (stainless), $1.95 each. Tel: 309.289.2700; no website. BTW, I though spares bags were only for bottomfeeders. I guess I need to get mine together. Edited to add: For the time being, the spares for my M10-8 will be my M13-2, for the M28-2 it'll be the M27-3. I need to find a M581 to back up my M681-2.

8shooter Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) I have a spare parts box, but its only got Auto / Bottomfeeder bits in it .... is that saying something???? I only worry about a cleaning kit for the revolvers, and I have rarely had to use that at the range either.

Stang68 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 i think i have all you beat. I usually carry around a Gunsmith with me to matches. I think you might know him, Randy Lee. Just kidding . But he is usually at all the matches i go to or about 10 minutes away . -Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
