SA Blues
My .357 Taylor's and Co. Uberti SmokeWagon is heading back to their gunsmith for repairs. A spring that would keep the cylinder from turning apparently snapped. Now, it spins freely regardless of where the hammer is set. They offered to send me the part, saying it was a simple fix, but I selected to let him do it. I hope he'll also inspect it and detect anything that might have occurred by the last three rounds I fired. The primers were dented at their very edge, so the cartridges were likely misaligned with the barrel. CS said I'll get a prepaid shipping label by email on Monday.

Re: SA Blues
Those are really easy to work on. I would have just taken the spring.

Re: SA Blues
Yeah. I may be the only one here that would send it back.

Re: SA Blues
I considered one of them before I bought my Ruger Vaquero.
How do you like it otherwise?

Re: SA Blues
It is a beautiful gun. It shoots straight and I like the grip and the way it feels in my hand. I've put a bit more than two hundred rounds through it (I only got as far as 18 rounds yesterday before the spring broke or it would be 250). So far, Taylor's & Co. has been very responsive, but the gunsmith told me the springs can/will break, so I ought to bite down on a bullet and figure out how to work on it.Cowboy Gun Fan wrote:How do you like it otherwise?

Re: SA Blues
Nuts!
I guess everyone listens to the blues from time-to-time; still it's not fun when a firearm has to leave home. Just hope Taylor's & Co. is "upbeat" with their repair service, and that your SW is back home really soon! Just surprising that it happened so early on, after only 200 rounds....

Re: SA Blues
Thanks. I confess that I listen to the blues quite often, but I was really singing the blues after that spring went bust so soon. I'll keep you posted.PT7 wrote: I guess everyone listens to the blues from time-to-time... surprising that it happened so early on, after only 200 rounds....

Re: SA Blues
On the positive side it will be like unwrapping a Christmas present when you get it back. And an excuse to go shoot, can't beat that.
