Wanted to disassemble the gun to get to know it better and do a deep clean/oiling. I am having a problem with the last step of reassembly.
During reassembly, everything works well until I attempt to reinsert the crane lock screw, detent, and spring. I line them up (though the detent does not want to fit well into the screw) and screw them in, making sure the spring is in both the detent and the screw. I get resistance before the screw is flush.
If I stop screwing at that resistance point, the gun functions normally: the chamber release works smoothly, the chamber rotates on a double action trigger pull/when cocked and single action fired. If I tighten the screw beyond that point, the chamber is too tight and does not want to rotate or release. Any advice? Thanks!
Is the the armscor m200 by rock island worth it? There's one at my local gun store for 250$ and I've been thinking about getting it along with a couple hundred rounds
Picking up one of these little beauties and I was curious if they've become common enough by now for companies to start making third party wood grips. Failing that, isn't this copied directly from an old colt?
The gun looks great but polymer grips are a turn off for me when compared to walnut. To be clear I'm not talking about the skinny wood grips that come on the snubnose version of the m200, I more mean the chunkier models third party companies produce.
Bonus question, anyone have an m200? How do you like them?
Just got back from the range with my new Armscor m200. I am fascinated by inexpensive, but reliable guns. I found some online reviews of the m200, after seeing it for so cheap on several web sites. Right now most major sites have it for $190 - $230. So I ordered one. I have an FFL in my area that does the transfer for $20. I want .38 special for my wife to start learning to shoot. I figure a gun without brass flying out will be easier for her to learn. Total cost of the gun was $229.99.
This is one ugly gun. The finish is parkerized. As such there is no reflection off it at all. It is a flat greenish dark grey. The grips are industrial. They work, but in the future I may put on some wood. There is only a small rock island armory badge on the side of the frame. The rest of the lettering is stamped into the metal.
Shooting this gun is a pleasure. Single action is crisp and light. Double action I hope will loosen over time. It is hard to feel where in the trigger stroke you are, and a few times the gun fired before I was expecting it. That being said, I was able to make 3" groups using finocchi ammo at 25 feet standing. Not bad. The gun does shoot about 3 inches high for me. I am going to try to put some red nail polish on the front site and try again. Empty ejection is an issue. The round closest to the frame gets caught up on the grips, and required manual remove almost every time. Under stress a tap of the cylinder will release it. I will try again with a fully cleaned and lubed gun.
One other thing I do not like is the sound of the gun. When closing the cylinder, there is no satisfying click that is on my other revolvers. The can be looked at as a feature, as there is little sound to give away you have loaded or reloaded your gun.
All in all, I am glad I bought it. A nice reliable firearm for about $200 new. They also have a 2" snubby version but I can't find that in stock at any major site.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
