Remingtion Change
I'm almost 70 and just cannot hold my revolvers up anymore to shoot. My
lightest one was my Remington at 3 lbs. So had it changed a little. It now weights 2 lbs. and the balance point is at the trigger like my single shots are Holds like a rock. At least I can continue to shoot in the revolver matches. This is a 36 cal. Cylinder holds 15 grs of powder with the ball. No filler used. Hammer is lighter also resulting in a much faster lock time. Cylinder pin is held in by a ball bearing detent. Of course you have to load it using a loader. But boy oh boy does she hold sweet. The maker test fired it at 25 yds from a sandbag rest and all six shots were in a tight 1 inch group. I know it is butt ugly, but it is for shootin, not looking at. I'm happy. |

Looks awesome to me! I'm particularly interested in the ball bearing detent, and the grips. How were they done?
