Fixed a Charter Arms Off Duty

[The Original Rooster]

Had my first experience taking a Charter Arms Revolver apart today.
I've got an old beat up Off Duty 38 that I picked up at a pawn shop years ago. Last year I shot some really hot 38's in it killing a snake. The recoil was enough to cause the spring on the hammer that pushes the transfer bar up to pop out of place. Fortunately it wasn't difficult to take apart but it's completely different from a Smith & Wesson. I only plan to shoot standard pressure out of it going forward.

Got a 6 inch barrel 357 Ruger Blackhawk that I love but can't drop it in my pocket walking around the yard loaded with snakeshot.

Get some practice and leave the snake shot in the BPS. Uncle KB will show you how.

This fall we’ll do a marathon. There are many fine reloaders on this forum,but me and you can come up with something that goes bang.

Sounds like a good plan. I got plenty of 38 and 357 brass to share.
