Weakening quickly....

Yup. We're a long time dead. Go for it.

Dang!

No. From my experience, it is the best-looking and best-shooting .22LR revolver I've ever had.

So from your experience should I delist the Stallion from my wish list?

Been following this thread regularly, and find the chat most interesting....especially learning more about the Japanese rifles. Also enjoyed the "Hobbit" analogy...can just see the wood cart poking along around the Shire!

The only comment I can make is about the Uberti screws. I have found the Uberti S/A revolvers are currently still produced with those pesky soft-headed screws. Would make me think the same quality level goes into their rifles.

...they do still use soft headed screws which can at times be very problematic to get out and their internals are not as refined as those guns made by Miroku...

I have no replica rifles, but on two of the three Uberti revolvers I have, I've chinked up side screws on two of them. I ordered a replacement trigger screw for my .357 Police, but uncertain about replacing it until I learn what happens to the trigger when this screw is pulled. Just don't want to "screw" it up, so plan to check with a gunsmith first.

Similarly, really created a sharp edge on a Stallion screw. But it unscrews easily, and I should just file it down.
No screw issues with my Russian .45 Colt. Screws remain tight, and think it's built like a tank.

Still awaiting the end result of the "weakening." I really cannot guess what the final rifle choice will be.
Suspense, suspense!

Stone - no files on screws !

Good suggestion...thanks for the upfront.
I just finished stone-filing down the screws on both the Stallion and Police revolvers. Turned out fine.

Well, now the 'weakness' has passed I am moving on and studying sight options for my 1899 M-94!

Great move! Take what you've got and figure out how to make it better! Sometimes this can be better than starting all over with something brand new.

Sometimes this can be better than starting all over with something brand new.

Yep - mostly this was a 'flash in the pan' - a 'leftover' thought from a few years ago.
I am not an impulsive person and do not do anything without thinking it through - sometimes to the point of loosing what I was after - and such was the case a few years ago when I sold my Winchester mod 94 .357 - and was on my way to my LGS to BUY the Winchester Mod 73 I had been looking at for some time.
Well it was gone - and long story short I 'stumbled' onto the Henry shortly thereafter and have no complaints.
The 1966 Comem and the 1899 came along shortly thereafter (good deals, little out of pocket) and this is what I need to stick with.
