Quote HistoryQuoted: "This is torqued down waaaay more than I expected..." Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Forgot to take the pin out until I'd made a full rotation. Spun it back, punch out the pin, and pulled the barrel. Fortunately the frame is fine, barrel took all of the damage. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/173129/8343DF80-F73F-48E4-BEC8-E8F530F5BB1D-2502629.jpg "This is torqued down waaaay more than I expected..." I know a guy who took a brand-new model 28 with a 6-inch barrel and changed it out with a 4-inch barrel. He used a pair of channel locks and did not take out the pin. He did not stop with one turn. This was about 1984. |

Mocked up the .45 Colt cylinder. Waiting on some tools to finish fitting the barrel. Going to have to shorten the breech end and recut the forcing cone.

Found a pre '72 Colt Cobra at a gun show today for around $500. All the anodizing has been stripped off, for whatever reason, but the timing is good and it locks up tight. I'm thinking it'll make a good Fitz candidate.
* Looked up the serial #, and turns out it's a '72 Agent.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryI just hate the way the newer Smiths look. Hammers suck. Front sights suck. Give me a P&R Magnum any day over what they are today. FYI, the only new Smith I own is a 442 Pro. No lock, no exposed (sucky looking) hammer. I will NOT buy a modern Smith strictly on looks alone. My opinion, my choice, haters be damned. |
