ChrisC Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) well i finally had the nerve to take the new 4 inch 610 out for a spin last saturday. I was impressed with the gun, not so impressed with me... of course i had just got the north mountain moon clip holder in just days before and hadn't practiced reloading or drawing or any of those meaningless things... but i had fun with it.. round 40's i noticed that billy bullets has a 180 grain round nosed .40 sw that im going to try out, that is the only place that i have found them so far. cylinder release latch I also ordered a california competition latch release at the recommendation of bubber, i looked hard at that one and the hogue but i think the way I hold the gun the CCW will fit me better... if not there is always the classifieds... MIM trigger? while crisp, what is the best way to lighten the load a smidge? bobbing the hammer. is this a do it myself project or do i need to have someone do it? also I wouldn't mind a chamfering the charge holes a bit... i would like to clarify these q's a bit but i gotta run...

earplug Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 MIM trigger? while crisp, what is the best way to lighten the load a smidge? Remove a coil or so from the Rebound slide spring. If you take to much tension off you can re balance by removing tension from the mainspring. Many problems can be avoided by not using the strain screw as a adjustment device. Screws tend to move if there not under tension or bottomed out. You can bend the mainspring or remove a bit of the strain screw length to adjust the tension. A slack screw will tend to loosen over time. A little bit of stoning on the trigger and cylinder stop engagement surface tends to help trigger return issues. If your really serious you can bevel the ratchet to let the hand return easier. This can cost real money if you screw it up. You need to be careful of misfires due to lack of hammer smack on the primer and you may have trigger return problems, if the trigger return spring is not balanced with the mainspring. If you use this revolver for social work test fire with you carry ammo. bobbing the hammer. Do this first if you interested in doing the above. also I wouldn't find a chamfering the charge holes a bit... This is easy to do with a drill press and the right size and shape of stone or use a hand tool such as a Dremel and hold the cylinder firmly in a vice for control. Finish off the work with some 320 grit paper on a mandrel to polish the tool marks out. i would like to clarify these q's a bit but i gotta run... Running will help your times more then lots of trigger mods. I run slow and my times show it. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray_N_Prey Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) "first timer, a few points and some q's" take it easy, your not out to show off, just keep it safe and maybe some videos would help out before you do it, take it slow, watch where your aiming, just don't let her know it's your first time......... OHHHH you mean shooting revolver first time, not..... ........... Sorry about that, yeah well follow most of the suggestions above Edited May 14, 2009 by Spray_N_Prey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPatterson Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 A really, really good move, Mike can make a gun buttery smooth. But be prepared to only use Federal primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 yeah sadly im having a hard time finding federal primers, i have a few thousand of them... i have a lot of back order in several places... hopefully the dam will break and we can get them again....

glockwerkes Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 My prediction: you're really going to like it. I sent two to Mike, and he delivered exactly as promised. The unintended upside? Your fellow shooters get to point out that something must have broken or fallen off your gun, because now they can see inside of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Chris, take another look at the fired case I included in the little baggie with your old sights. That's how they need to look, seated below flush to the point they are starting to flatten out. I shot 10 moonclips of my ammo (with well-seated Federal primers, of course) through your heater and got 100% perfect ignition. Using only properly-primed ammo is extremely important when shooting any revolver with a full competition action job in which the mainspring tension has been reduced substantially. If part of the energy from the hammer fall has to be used to final seat the primer, the gun will not go bang reliably--all the energy needs to go into indenting the cup and lighting off the round. You'll get it. I do strongly recommend hand-seating the primers, though. It's an extra step, but it's well worth the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 i had a long talk with bubber this afternoon... everything points back to me not taking the time to really deep seat the primers... i just loaded a few more that look just like the one you provided. i can tell not all brass is created equal. these are all "deep" so i am confident that they will all create a cloud of smoke.... the gun is great.. such a smooth trigger... still having issues with the extended release latch.. it doesn't seem to seat as far down as the factory piece... bubber is going to help me fit it as soon as we can connect.. ill look into a hand primer next month... the old lady took the check book away from me till next payday....
