That really is a great description of both take down and assembly. I used it to fill in for some much less complete instructions from a trigger kit manufacturer. Thanks for taking the time to put this up.

Only I had a S & B cartridge (wadcutter for my .38 spl snobby) fracture on me yesterday. No damage to me or the S & W, but I hesitate to use them again. Have to go to a more expensive practice ammo. Cheap is cheap.

Admin,
FYI… I have had “premium” ammo cases fracture as well. No brand is immune to it, but some are worse than others. A cracked case mouth is not a real issue… a rupture of the case head is where the real problems arise. Overall, I have not had any issues with S&B brass. It could just be an anomaly.

How does the safety work? I took mine apart to clean and did something to the safety. Help

Thanks for your excellent instructions. It really helped me figure out installing my Volquartsen hammer without a lot of stress.

Tallie: I’m not sure what you’re asking. When you pull the trigger, it releases the hammer to strike the firing pin. The recoil energy of the cartridge causes the bolt to fly back, and the radius at the rear of the bolt pushes the hammer down to cock it again for the next shot.

I purchased a 3 pack of these flashlights last summer from Costco and have had absolutely no problems with them. They no longer have the battery light in the push button and the lens is no longer adjustable. Use all three a lot and the original batteries are still in them working fine.

I have two of the units. The switch does not work on either. All I can get is a flashing red light. I will try a switch replacement as suggested above.

I found the same shortcomings as Brasstard did. Rubber fell out soon and it catches no more than 50% cases when shooting full power 10mm. Not to mention that I have to fix it’s position after every round fired – that could be dangerous considering it’s easy to put your hand in front of muzzle when doing this. However, now I use it only for 9mm, although I bought it for catching expensive 10mm brass.
