I have come into a new ( to me) Model 29. It is a modern version, feels sort of cheap, but it is what it is. :violin:
It has the standard ramp front sight with red insert, pinned into the base,
I would like to replace it with something similar to the Hi Viz. I have no idea if I have a "DX...
DO NOT get it re-nickeled
1. The cost will not be justified by the increase in value. Just the prep work will cost $$$$.
2. Any collector wants the original finish. If it needs to be re-nickeled, let them do it.
Is there a "N" to the left of the numbers in this picture?
I am...
Any modern 80 grain round nose load will be safe to shoot. It will be loaded to black powder specs, no worry about being over proofed.

P.S. Just scored some Fiocchi...
Briley will be on site at the Seminole Cup in Woodbine this weekend.
There will also be several other shotgun vendors there - great opportunity to try out different guns.
You might call Shooters Den in Watkinsville. Limited hours, limited services, but worth a call.

I would put it in a vise with proper protection for the action and barrel, get some leather for padding, put a pair of vice grips on it, and use a persuader to loosen it up.

I have a S&W with a bobbed hammer, and dry fire only, in my bedroom, I try to mess with it SA, and it ain't happening in real life.
One of those theoretical things that fill up Gun magazines
I mean, it;s way cool, but exactly what scenario are you going to need SA aimed fire from a 1 3/8" barrel?
The true I frame had a cylinder window of 1 1/2 inches. My aging eyes says that window is more than 1 1/2 " . Or it's a 2 year old holding it, a 2 year old with real hairy arms.
It could be a HE, 2nd Model, but should use the same spring as a K frame. Would like to see the butt, to see if...
