Re: Ruger Sign.

This collector had his heart go "pitter-patter" when I saw the picture. I too, like so many here have never seen one of those signs. And I'd LOVE to have it in my collection of memorabilia. That said,, I'd venture a wild guess that it's not a factory authorized item. I base that upon the m...

Re: ROCS Exhibit

Stunning,,, simply stunning!

Obviously the judges were picked from the local circus.

Once again,, it seems that Rugers are like Rodney Dangerfield, "They don't get no respect!"

Re: Prob. w/ Blackhawk

This will require a disassembly.
The hammer has a pin installed inside it. Sometimes the pin can break, or get hung up. It is a small part,, and an even smaller spring inside the hammer to push the pin. Check to see if the pin moves freely in & out a little.

Re: Early(ish) Mark I Target questions

Dern Rick,,, you got me. I looked at the wrong chart. My info was on the Standards,, NOT the MKI targets.

My mistake. (And it's what I get for looking up something when tired.)

RPM's info is the correct info.

Jim Schafer

I got my latest ROCS Journal the other day. (Excellent as usual)!

But I was sorely saddened by the discovery that Jim Schafer had passed away. I hadn't heard of his passing. Jim was truly a gentleman & we'll miss him.
Thoughts & prayers out to his family.

Re: Working on the SA's

I forgot to add that I have since modified 92) of the grip frame screws a little. I chucked them in my lathe, and cut back the hex sides a little further. I found the screw shanks could possibly rub the trigger guard on a few of them. So I cut the hex edges back a bit & rounded them a little too.
