Rather-B-Huntin Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'll be taking ownership of a dandy 627 pretty soon and am thinking about sitting it up for ICORE Open division. I'd like to see some pics of other's 'Open' revos to get some ideas. Along with any pics, please also let me know what kind of mods have been done that may not be visible.

Airedale Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I believe I have the mount you need to mount the dot on that 627. If you remind me, I'll throw it in the box. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubber Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) The bottom two are from the early 90's a couple of K frame 38 specials. The blued has a "chamber" comp along with 5 inline Hybrid ports. It also has the C & S Roller Kit. The K frame with the stainless barrel has a double port (similar to the 38 super design of the late 80's) with 5 inline hybrid ports. Top left is an old model 27 with the Mahearn (sp) 8 cylinder and a heavy barrel with a 1 in 10" twist that had been extensively milled for weight reduction and to look cool. It has two Krebb ports and 7 inline hybrid ports. The N frame on the right is the simple 627 with 4 hybid ports with Randy Lee action job and Randy Lee Hammer The Old 27 is on injured reserve until I can get the firing pin issue resolved. I have shot it quite a bit and has a lot of wear on the internals. ETA: I forgot to mention that all have a ball crane lock-up Edited February 23, 2009 by Bubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Mainus Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 These are my two open revos. The one with c-more is one of the first 8 shots they came out with. Tore off the barrel and put on a Shilen, bobbed hammer etc. The other is the one I just got back from Randy. 38 Super. I bought the gun as you see it. Someone milled the ports in the factory barrel. Just had Randy slick it up. This was my first attempt at posting photos, I think it worked. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curiously, what didn't you like about it?? Also, how do you like the Burris Fastfire and what kind of mount is that?? I've only used the Fastfire once so far and it seems pretty good. The mount was custom made by my gunsmith Randell Kenner here in Rapid City, SD. I like that it's small and compact compared to the C-More that I had on it. As far as the release goes I have a friend here in town that has first dibs on it already. The way that I hold my gun the Hogue release rides on my thumb and it's uncomfortable during recoil. I also found I was putting a little forward pressure on it with the top of my thumb when i was just gripping the gun while shooting so I just went back to the stock one. I didn't really notice any difference in reload speed or consistency with it either. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially I had the same problem you describe but I have contoured that outside sharp edge nice and smooth and round with the ol' Dremel. Now it feels great! I can't say the Hogue release is actually faster, but for me it's definitely more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubber Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 PINMAN44, Good looking revo. Is that an sliding weight on the barrel? A friend and I were discussing such a design. Inquiring minds want to know... Bwanna, I think 'll use the Randy Lee for the Southern Regional but I am thinking real hard on using the K frame blued barrel for the Mid West in Arkansas. I used that K frame for a few years at the IRC and South West Regionals Until I got my 8 shot. Dang We got almost a month til we get to shoot the match..open..open..open..open..open..open.. later rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzygä Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Guys you have hybrid ports and comps and everything in those revos. I am impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PINMAN44 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Bubber The revolver has a counterweight that is screwed into the Shilen fluted barrel. It is removable but I have never removed it. No movement to it whatsoever. My dad bought it used from Robert Snyder a friend and also a member of this forum. The revolver apparently had a twin but I have not been able to locate it. If we could we would be interested in acquiring it. From what I know about the gun Michael Higashi (ICORE) had it built by Dave's Metal Works. Custom made mag release which I love to death. If you want some more pics let me know. I would like to eventually drop a lighter hammer into it but I don't have the funds right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
