Schaefer Gun Parts & Gunsmith Accessories It might also be good to bevel or round off the flat-faced trigger and remove its serrations. If one wanted to fire it double action, one would need to pull the action parts out, polish the DA sear camming surface and lighten the mainspring by a coil or two. The SA pull, while heavy, was at least clean. The DA trigger pull is pretty atrocious for a somewhat modern revolver and was not used in testing. The revolver has a medium polish blue, with only the matted top surfaces and sight finish to cut glare.įine tool marks are still visible beneath the finish. The forward projecting portion of the yoke fits into a matching wedge-shaped cut in the frame for greater stability. The part is retained by a slotted machine screw facing forward not pretty, but workmanlike. The yoke design is shared only by Charter Arms and seems quite a bit more solid than their execution. The hammer has a small double-action sear pinned to it and this part is left in the white. The firing pin is a frame-mounted rebounding type and coil spring powered. Both seem quite thin in section compared to American practice. The action parts barely visible with the cylinder open include the bolt and advancing hand. You would not want to close a loaded cylinder with a cocked hammer and the possibility of negligent discharge looming large. The chambers are likewise just barely dehorned, not left razor sharp, as all but the most recent Ruger revolvers are. Without the usual American thumb piece to push forward, backward, or inward, one pulls the ejector rod forward to swing-out the cylinder. Ostensibly this was to allow the manufacturer to use very small stocks for other models more suitable for concealed carry. The stock itself is comfortable to hold and it mandates a high-thumb target grip. The stocks are held in place with a finely threaded machine screw that angles into the abbreviated grip frame from the bottom. They were then picked-up by European American Armory E. The serrations are matched by ones machined onto the top strap of the frame, culminating in a click adjustable rear sight that overhangs the rear of the framer. The barrel has a one piece and serrated ventilated rib with an integrally machined Patridge ramp front sight, attached with two Allen screws. Both the forcing cone and muzzle crown appear adequate. Said shank is quite thin near the forcing cone, yet is surrounded by a very thick cross section of steel for support. Several interesting technical characteristics included a solid frame no sideplate design whose action parts hammer, trigger are held in place by cross pins, the lack of a thumb-piece to open the cylinder and a cylinder that rotates clockwise. These were conventional Western style single-action revolvers and double-action revolvers that were an amalgam of different designs. Much less well known than the Beeman R1 air rifle were the fairly uncommon cartridge firearms they produced.
