ROUND HAMMER STRUT U|Xafaiagy10495mzv#078-000-019 the Centerfire, Ruger, Single Action Revolvers Are Used Extensively by Hunters, Plinkers, and Cowboy Action Shooters RUGER SA ROUND HAMMER STRUT U|xaFAIAGy10495mzV#078-000-019 The Centerfire, Ruger, Single Action Revolvers are used extensively by hunters, plinkers, and cowboy action shooters. While these are strong and well-made, most shooters would like to have a smoother, slicker action. Brownells Ruger SA Round Hammer Strut was designed to aid the shooter or gunsmith in fine tuning these popular revolvers. The redesigned, round strut ensures that the hammer spring does not bind as the hammer is pulled back to the full cock position plus, it positions the hammer spring for maxi- mum efficiency and does not allow it to cant to one side or the other. A supe- rior-quality, reduced power, 17 lb. Wolff hammer spring is provided with the round hammer strut for smoother, lighter hammer cocking. As an integral part of an action tuning job, the Brownells Ruger SA Round Hammer Strut assembly will help you make an outstanding handgun even better!

  • A Basic Firearm Tutorial by John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009
    A Basic Firearm Tutorial By John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009 Statistics for Firearm-Related Deaths According to a 2005 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were almost 31, 000 firearm‐related deaths within the United States. Of the 31, 000 deaths, 55% of those deaths were certified as suicides, 40% certified as homicides, 3% certified as accidents, and the remaining 2% were certified as undetermined. A previous study by the CDC covering the years 1993 to 1998 also found that most firearm‐related deaths were again caused by self‐inflicted acts and men and individuals between the ages of 15 and 34 comprised a majority of those firearm‐related deaths. Every medical examiner or coroner’s office across the country has investigated a firearm‐ related death. Depending on your jurisdiction, these types of deaths may comprise a large portion of your caseload or a small portion. Regardless of the number of firearm‐related deaths your office investigates, every medicolegal death investigator must be knowledgeable in the safe handling of firearms, basic ballistics terminology and the parts of a particular firearm, whether it be a semi‐automatic handgun, revolver, shotgun or rifle. General Safety Practices The safe approach to and subsequent handling of firearms is your personal responsibility. Safety is the number one priority when handling such weapons. At any death scene involving a firearm, the death investigator MUST ALWAYS ASSUME THE FIREARM IS LOADED! Most accidental discharges of a firearm are the result of not following safe gun handling practices and failure to use common sense.

  • Everything You Wanted to Know About the Lawrence Pellet Primer System (But Were Afraid to Ask)
    Everything you wanted to know about the Lawrence Pellet Primer System (but were afraid to ask) by Bill Skillman Like the vast majority of reenactors who portray the U.S. Sharpshooters; until recently, I never had the opportunity to examine an original Lawrence pellet priming system in the New Model 1859 Sharps rifles; let alone see how one worked. My curiosity began when I bought my first Sharps; it was a New Model 1863 carbine but with all the pellet primer parts missing. While Bannerman’s (America’s first Army-Navy surplus store) catalogues continued to list pellet primers for sale until the early 1900’s the system had largely become obsolete and faded into obscurity. Over the generations shooters removed the pellet system parts and threw them away. A page from Bannerman’s Antique catalog showing that pellet primers were still for sale well into the early years of the 20th century Early in my USSS career, I wanted to restore the pellet primer system so I could ‘swap’ the carbine’s lock plate and install it on my Shiloh Sharps rifle. Dixie Gun Works and S & S Firearms sell most of the parts I was looking for, but they were expensive. I found the last missing part (an original pellet feeder arm) at the Mansfield, Ohio Civil War Collectors show five years ago. Once home, I gathered up the carbine, the pellet system parts, and following the diagram in Winston O. Smith’s book, I finally had a fully functioning Lawrence pellet system. Now if only somebody made reproduction pellet primers.

  • How to Build Your Own Wheellock- Rifle Or Pistol
    How to build Your own wheellock- rifle or pistol Edited by Georg Lauber The wheellock rifle or pistol ranks among the most coveted of collector's prizes because it represents one of the oldest of firearms systems and because the few specimens that have survived three centuries or more are generally the highly ornate pieces originally possessed by nobility. Conditioned as we are to the image of such decorated versions we must realize that, by far, the bulk of the wheellock guns produced were simple, plain and functional weapons, just as most of the firearms sold today are regarded as "field models." We are therefore concerned here only with clean lines and basic construction of the "field model" wheellock - the unadorned version that has a unique and simple beauty of its own. Those skilled with the carver's or engraver's chisel may, of course, wish to elaborate on our plan, and should be encouraged to do so, but we leave the form and pattern of such artistic pursuits to the individual's taste and judgement. By way of background information, the wheellock was invented by Kiefuss in 1517. Historians disagree on where he was at the time: some claim he was in Vienna, others state that Nuemberg, Germany, was his base of operations. In view of the fact that most wheellocks were produced with components from Nuernberg, Augsburg, and Suhl, Germany, Nuernberg appears to be correct. Produced in great numbers, the wheellock survived for more than 250 years in the German language area and, if the flintlock were not so much easier to produce, it my have lasted even longer because many shared the opinion that its ignition system was superior to that of the flintlock.

  • Breaking Down the Ethan Allen Double-Action Pistol by David Weston
    Breaking Down the Ethan Allen Double-Action Pistol By David Weston A while back I dropped by Clark Brothers gun shop near Warrenton, Virginia, to see if they had something I couldn’t live without. Then I saw this Ethan Allen pistol. It is a small, minimalist handgun with one of the simplest actions ever produced. I didn't have the time, the lighting or my reading glasses to do a fair appraisal at the shop, but the price was reasonable. I bought it with cash on the spot. I know Clark’s Brothers is a good, trustworthy shop and I was intrigued with this graceful antique The Ethan Allen Double‐Action Pistol pistol. The gun is rather heavy for its size. The main spring is strong and it snaps a #10 cap well. The trigger pull is heavy and similar to a modern double-action revolver. It has no sights and the bar-hammer on top of the frame would prevent their normal use in any case. It is more of a point and shoot type of gun. It has no half cock or safety and it is not safe to carry this gun loaded and capped. I certainly would not consider carrying it loaded & capped in my coat pocket or in a boot. Instead it would find utility if kept under the bar near the cash register as an emergency measure. The little pistol has the number “258” stamped on a barrel flat by the trigger guard. I assume this is a serial number. However, at the time serial numbers were not required and often inconsistently used.

    Rifles Part I. Muzzles, Muskets & Minié Balls Loading a Flintlock Rifle For the first part of the nineteenth century, professional armies fought with the same smooth- bore flintlock muskets as their fathers and grandfathers. It generally takes an experienced soldier between twenty and thirty seconds to properly load a flintlock musket. First, the user has to unseal his pre-measured cartridge of gunpowder, which is usually contained in a paper or linen packet which is bitten open. (Because of the salty nature of gunpowder, this builds up a terrible thirst over the course of a battle, making potable water an essential part of any armed conflict.) Once the gunpowder is poured into the muzzle, the shooter inserts the lead ball, which is encased in a lubricated bit of cloth called “wadding.” Pulling the ramrod from its forestock slot, the shooter tamps the ball home, ensuring firm contact with the propellant charge. The ramrod is then returned to the forestock—unless a panicked soldier leaves it inside the barrel, to be fired along with the bullet! To fire the musket, the hammer is pulled to half-cock. A small pinch of gunpowder is placed in the “priming pan” located on the right side of the musket. The pan is closed to secure the primer, which brings a metal flange called the “frizzen” into striking position in front of the hammer. The hammer is fully cocked, the musket is aimed, and the trigger is pulled. The hammer dashes the flint against the frizzen, simultaneously creating a spark and pushing open the pan to expose the primer.

  • Firearms Classification
    Classification This section contains descriptions of key concepts to be used in the completion of the Seizures Questionnaires. For the purposes of the Seizures Questionnaires only, the following terms shall have the following meanings: “Firearm” shall mean any portable barrelled weapon that expels, is designed to expel or may be readily converted to expel a shot, bullet or projectile by the action of an explosive, excluding antique firearms or their replicas. Antique firearms and their replicas shall be defined in accordance with domestic law. In no case, however, shall antique firearms include firearms manufactured after 1899. “Parts and components” shall mean any element or replacement element specifically designed for a firearm and essential to its operation, including a barrel, frame or receiver, slide or cylinder, bolt or breech block, and any device designed or adapted to diminish the sound caused by firing a firearm; “Ammunition” shall mean the complete round or its components, including cartridge cases, primers, propellant powder, bullets or projectiles, that are used in a firearm Types of firearms Rifle A relatively long-barreled firearm, fired from the shoulder, having a series of spiral grooves cut inside the barrel (a process called ‘ rifling ’) imparting a rapid spin to a single projectile. Shotgun A shoulder-fired long gun with no rifling in the barrel, designed to shoot a large number of small projectiles (“shot”) rather than a single large projectile (“a bullet”). Machine gun A machine gun is a fully-automatic firearm. This means the weapon will continue to load and fire ammunition until the trigger, or other activating device, is released, the ammunition is exhausted, or the firearm is jammed.

  • Defensive Trigger Types
    Defensive Handgun Trigger Considerations Dave Montalbano Retired SAC I have been a law enforcement officer since the days of the revolver; a Firearms Instructor for the Feds; an instructor at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center; current Georgia POST Firearms Instructor and Concealed Carry Instructor. I am used to teaching police and qualifying law enforcement using the firearms that their departments have chosen. When I began teaching the civilian population I all of a sudden gained experience with lots of different handguns and manufacturers. I bought a Lyman trigger pull meter and began testing the guns that people were carrying. I also became an NRA firearms instructor and got to see what the civilian world was doing. The following are my observations and thoughts on what I think make up a good tactical trigger system and the pro’s and con’s by looking at the various types of handguns currently being used by police and civilians for protection. This is a “tactical” analysis and not an “NRA” range day analysis. What makes a good handgun for Carry The following characteristics make a good tactical handgun in my opinion. 1. Handgun Ergonomics. This includes how the handgun “fits” your hand. The grips; texture; grooved front strap; plain front strap; size; how well does it point, etc. Things to consider: a. Handgun must fit hand so you can reach the trigger without changing/shifting your grip. A great fit is when your trigger finger “tip” can touch the trigger and be perpendicular to the trigger before pressure is applied. You should never have to change your grip to shoot the handgun.
