Because Who Doesn't Have a Barrel Vise in Their Truck

Trailer hitch barrel vise? Okay. Hope he has the right frame jigs...

For those who are interested in how to turn a revolver barrel, here's an article by Hamilton Bowen demonstrating how to turn a barrel to adjust point of impact, including pictures of different barrel vises and action wrenches. Link opens to a PDF:

I like how the groups are all neatly clustered on a random size, white sheet of paper. Ever hear of a B8 with actual scoring zones? Also, just for kicks, how about stating what distance they were shot at on the target.

BUT IT'S FLAWLESS.

Add in the need to refinish once the front sight is filed.

From a review of the Traditions Colt SAA copies:Makes you want to rush right out and plunk $500 down for one of these, doesn't it?

Wha? He found a running truck for $500?

Looks like Taffin is still writing that same article over and over now like he was years ago when I gave up on most printed gun rags

Imagine trying to write a feature on a red '68 Camaro and a "How to build a Chevy small block" article every month while working for Car Craft.

I like Taffin.

I remember being overseas reading old mags fantasizing about being out in the woods with a sixshooter.

I like Taffin.

I like him for load data and history. The rest, not so much.

This is a tough crowd. Old school sight adjustment called for clamping the barrel in your bench vice, with some grabby padding of course. Then you just stick a hickory hammer handle (they always specified hickory) through the cylinder window and start turning. This was supposed to work, although I never tried it. Taffin no doubt has, and still does. (smile)

Or Venturino. He's still cutting & pasting articles from his early data. Excuse me, I should say "using the same formatting".

Or I can come here at get my info from people who are actually doing things, and maybe help someone else out from time to time.
