OMG !!!!!!!
YOU GUYS GOTTA GETTA LIFE !!!!
Thank you all so much!! I truly appreciate all you folks and your tooooo kind words!!
Didn't see this till this evening!! Dropped my phone yesterday morning and it s-l-o-w-l-y d-i-e-d all day so DURING all that death, I was able to get to a store and get a replacement (upgrade) and BAM here i am so I didn't miss too much!! I can say though, if you don't have a "glass protector" and "phone case" definitely get some protection!!! An old man sitting there being asked (outta left field!) passwords, "pin numbers" . . . first time I've felt "old" inna while!! (Heck, I'm only 67 !!!!). So, write down all your passwords/pin numbers and put it Inna safe !! Get it out on yer way to the ________ store and you'll be a STAR !!! I'm just glad I was able to get a new phone same day!!! So, that's what MSD (Mike should do!!! 🤣)!!!
Again, thanks so much for your kindness, I truly appreciate this bunch!!!

The general build quality of the newer examples is much better than any of the older (pre 2010) examples. Personally for me, the faster rifling twist suits my converted revolvers (mainly Uberti's) best.

Gunsmithing/Parts & Repairs/Refinishing / Re: Screwless (action) Frame !!?
« on: September 18, 2024, 09:34:46 PM »
Thanks for the questions guys! The head of the "action pins" is the "stop" as far as insertion. Since the threaded section of the pin is next to the head, it doesn't matter because the small end is a "pin" anyway. The hammer screw on the next one ( another one of mine) may have the frame threads removed to explore a better "keeper" for that pin. The section that supports the hammer is fitted to a closer tolerance to give a more accurate travel. Hope that sheds more light on the subject.

Gunsmithing/Parts & Repairs/Refinishing / Screwless (action) Frame !!?
« on: September 17, 2024, 07:43:30 PM »
Here's something not talked about but it's my "rendition " of what is called a "Screwless Frame".
The screws are replaced with oversized pins that produce a more mechanically accurate action . . . usually removing any need for "shims" (hammer/trigger). This setup also allows for easier/faster disassembly / reassembly as the pins just simply slide in or out. And !!! No more buggered screw slots!!!
