I Guess I Will Work On Anything - #1 - The Firearms Forum

Well, been putting it off and finally decided to get some of the backlog caught up while everything is quiet.

RG Model 66 single-action .22 Magnum revolver with light firing pin strikes. Excessive endshake was causing the problem, made a bushing out of aluminum and fitted it between the cylinder boss and frame window. Test-fired well, and yes I fired it myself!

I do draw the line at Clerke revolvers and RG Model 10/14, though...

Somehow, in wandering the web one day, I ended up on something like Craig’s list, but it was gun oriented. Arizona. Someone had a Clerke 32 revolver for sale. New In The Box. Wanted three hundred for it, I believe it was. Said it was one of a short run of revolves made by that great target-pistol smith, Jim Clerke.
