Thye were suppose to lighten the trigger with a Wolf Hammer spring I included .It came back working like the old originals but the trigger is way past 6 lbs on my scale.

Re: 45lc 1892 COL maximum --anyone?

Well I shortened up the brass from 1.275 to 1.265 for a total COL of 1.635 and this cycles flawlessly using the 300gr hornady XTP bullets which are very accurate and stout with Lil gun charged 22gr for 1640fps velocity. So now my final problem is how do I get that 7lb plus trigger pull lowered. Turn...

Re: 45lc 1892 COL maximum --anyone?

Mine loves the 300 grain Hornady XTPs and so with the case cut to 1.275 the COL comes out at 1.653" which is about .015" too long for clearance. Rather than mess with the carrier wouldl I be ok to just shorten the cases a little bit more to say 1.260" . OR would there be a large press...

Anyone try Speer 300gr JFN in 45LC+p out of rifles?

Buffalo Bore makes a stout +P load for ruger pistols and any modern 1892 rifles that shoot 1700fps out of rifles. The bullet looks like its a Speer 300gr JFN BUT the diameter is .451 .My Winchester Miroku barrel is most probably a .452. Should I expect poor groups?

took a look at the elevation steps and they are angled upward against the rear sight blade so thats a good thing I think. But the tension from the sight body was not good enough and so I bent it downward some more. See if this holds up. But it sure is cheapy .
