I have a cimmeron hi wall in 38-55 that has a problem with miss fires. Sometimes it fires ,but more often it only puts a small dent in the primer. If the gun is empty the hammer falls down to the breech block every time, but if you put a cartrdge in, it only dents the primer enough to fire about one out of five times. When it missfires the hammer stops short of the breech block. I have checked head space ,and it is ok . the firing pin protrudes .058 past breech face. Has anyone had the same problem , and knows a fix , or should I just keep shooting rollers &martinis until I get a cpa?Thanks for any help .DGC27     PS It has double set trigger

Mr. Frog : The hammer does have a fly ,and it still hangs up.  What has me stumped  why does it only happen when there is a cartrigde in the chamber. I wil give cimmeron a call as you suggest,and if they can tell why this is happening I will post results. Thanks  DGC27

And further more  ,   HST (Glenn Fewless) is the man to make it right for you --- without a doubt !     Ken

Mr. Shirt:

Thanks for the information. I done went to the sight for a look see. Everything does look pretty much original, but it obviously is a Mann-Niedner pin. Impossible to tell if it is an inertia pin but most likely is.

Interesting thing about the two springs! Assuming the drawing to be accurate, they both drive the hammer. The flat spring looks for all the world to be a real live Winchester flat spring, and the hammer she is sure enough a flatspring hammer. Then again, the the breech block doesn't show the holes for the ends of the coil spring. Now I be curious...

Have just noticed an example of mild & apparently automatic censorship on my last post. 'Whine' was NOT what I wrote, and the word that I DID write was not one of the seven words that George Carlin says you can't say on TV. So I wonder what gives?

Webmaster? Josh?

Joe, the least they could do is give you a little cheese to go with that whine. 

I'd like to have a list of the words that are automatically "censored, " but how could we post it?

Yes Josh or GF or whoever's listening, I gotta agree with Brent and plenty of it. Don't forget what happened to the 'other' ASSRA sites when they took it upon themseves to censor the posts. Kinda dried up, didn't they?

Yes I used the B word, and it's a perfectly respectable word you'll find in most any dictionary. Can be a noun or a verb or an adjective & maybe even an adverb for all I know. Of course we all know it can be used in a pejorative sense when speaking of an unpleasant woman or her behavior or her male offspring. But it's also the universal description of all canine females and is also used to describe the complaints of soldiers, and is perfectly acceptable in anyone's polite society in both of these usages.

Of course those of us with naturally dirty & officious & petty minds will 'whine' about the word itself being possibly offensive to some because of its possible connotations in some usages under some conditions etc etc ad nauseam.

I'm curious, who would feel offended? And I'm also curious as to just exactly what other words are included in the non-PC hit list? (besides George's infamous seven, of course)

  I won't address this to any one person so hopefully I won't hurt anyones feelings.

  Having been born & raised on "The River" and spending a lot of time with the commercial fishermen growing up, I can assure that the "B" word is a rather mild word in my rather extensive vocabulary, and doesn't cause me to shudder if I hear it. Those who know me know I've never been adverse in using four letter words either.

  With that said I don't know what Josh can do to trim the objectionable word list down. It might be "hard-wired" into the program, or more than likely it's either "on" or "off", with no way of selecting those words no one has objections to.

  So, it doesn't really make any difference to me if I can use a word or not. Seems like a lot of fuss over virtually nothing. The argument that we're all adults on here is facetious at best since we have no way of knowing the age of anyone here, or whether they find mild or harsh gutter language objectionable.

  In most cases I try to write on these Forums in a way that any age group can read what I say without their parents feeling they have to censor the Forum from them.

  Asking for an opinion poll of who cares, or doesn't care, whether we control the language is also facetious since everyone knows that 10% of the people do 100% of the emailing here, or on any Forum, and the rest never say a word one way or another. They will cast their vote by leaving!

  The other thing to remember is that Josh is the sysop here and in that role is the next thing to God. I have no idea how Josh feels about this situation, but as far as I'm concerned I'll leave it up to him how he wants to run this Forum, since I think he's done a pretty good job of it so far.

  The hard truth is, if you feel your rights are being trampled on by not being able to use certain words, then it is also your right to find a Forum that suits your tastes better.

  Actually I get quite a kick out of seeing the word "thingy" used in reference to the shortened version of Richard.
