Gunslinger Spring Kit revisited
Posted: 12 Apr 2018 15:10
A huge "thank you" to Ranch Dog for the helpful tip regarding the use of dental floss to ease the installation of the Gunslinger ejector spring.
Mine kept breaking. Clearly "European" grade floss is inferior to the "Texan" grade available to you lot over there in the Land of Trump, but I got there in the end.
I finally concluded that temporary re-installation of the stop pin and a dummy round in conjunction with the floss would be the only way to prevent me chasing the ejector collar all over the room. It was only after I had finished the job that I found RD's "revisited" instructions
Anyway, all back together and what a difference. Nice light trigger and gentle ejection of spent cases. Not quite sure that I like the lighter movement of the lever but that should be easy to get used to.
Thanks again for the helpful tips. Now for some range time................
