Fixed and back in it's box -W- a black pivot screw ?-why-?

funny you say that OV 10 I was thinking the same thing

After 4 hand springs flying to parts unknown I finally got it back together with new hammer trigger & pivot screw , $ 55 bucks later it's working , the trigger was bent & the hammer pivot hole and screw were hogged out but its crisp like new but now with a ugly black main screw why they sent a black screw for a stainless gun I have no idea but it wont be in any shows so I don't care , however with the service I also don't think I'm buying the Sidewinder & the 22 short I've wanted so next choice is a taurus 22 Lr 942 snubby and a LCP 2 22 Lr and NAA don't get my $ 750.00   

Installed the new hammer & pivot screw without effect and after closer inspection the trigger is bent so I bent it back and it works fine , however I don't trust it after being bent and bent again so ordered a new one and 2 more hand springs after the others went flying   

My derangement is the bikes , Someone told my problem in life is a lack of someone to say the word NO

OV 10 , I don't see my SSI funding the 1st Ranger I'm not a big collector I own 6 guns , but I do have a Detonics Combat Master

Long time on the phone but I got my parts ordered 32 bucks not too bad - has anyone had the hammer pivot hole hog out ? it's very loose and the hammer would not release from the trigger sear without lifting the hammer , I ordered a hammer Screw and 2 hand springs

Picked up a New ( 100 year old ) H&R "Automatic" in 38 S&W short Unfired , promptly ordered a hard case 2 speedloaders 100 Rd FMJ ammo and a set of Walnut Grips in original pattern from  Numrich Gun Parts , it's not perfect it's been stored improperly causing rust spotting but once cleaned oiled & polished it's pretty Cool   

I have a 12 year old 22 Lr short Barrel failure , Cock hammer trigger wont release the hammer , but lift up on the hammer and you can release it ( too much play in hammer Pivot ) , I bought my 1st Mini ( B Ser ) in 1975 ish and have sent several in for Lifetime Warranty repair without any issue ,however now NAA wants me to have a FFL ship it both way's $ 75.00 each way plus my & there shipping , I'm a lifelong Gunsmith and can without any problem do the repair saving $ 175.00 on a $ 200.00 gun , how many flaming hoop's are they going to make me leap through to simply order the parts , 1 hammer $ 18.00 and 1 screw $ 3.00 ?        Thank's Folks

Two hours into the Ranger 2 polish job ( it will take 6 ) and results are encouraging the NAA Logo held up but is less pronounced and even at this early stage it's a thing of beauty , it is a lot of work but I'm retired so nothing else to do

I removed the grips and used the carb cleaner's red tip inside the cocked hammers cavity and washed it out and let it dry and reoiled and it works smoothly ........... I kept the CC away from the NAA lasor logo

10 years ago I polished my 22Lr and it turned out great but the photo's turn out bad my camera picks up scratches the eye does not , but the look in person is over the top remarkable and I'm thinking of polishing the Ranger II ,Has anyone polished a late model mini with the laser engraved NAA Logo ? , and how did the NAA Logo hold up ? or did it turn into a un readable blob ? .............. photos ? ..................... oh got new grips

The polish on my LR mini is about 10 years old now and the photos dont show well but it still looks very nice , do not disasemble the gun its a muther to get back together , I used my dremel & the blue polish truckers use on there wheels it works better then Mothers polish and when done polishing just spray clean with carb cleaner and re oil , dont get carb cleaner on your grips

Mine is ser 15XX and works very well

Mine is in the 1500 ser # range no problems at all it shoots fine and no abnormal wear so far , I'm enjoying it greatly

I got mine at Gunnies in Orem Utah  ...... long wait for it but it was worth it

$ 430.00 + tax at Gunnies in Orem Utah .... 9-10 week order

1500

New Ranger II

Got it ........ yes it was worth the wait and it works flawlessly I ran 200 rounds of Hornady - CCI and Winchester  through it and it was a joy to shoot , wait time was 9 or 10 weeks but I'll get over it the only thing that bugged me was I checked with the factory 1st and followed her advice ordering through her recomended contracted dealer 4 miles from the factory on the same day I spoke to her , but it's a done deal and the Ranger is a thing of Beauty , the price point was $ 430.00 + tax and I think was fair

ok next will come the boot grips - what do you guys think of the simulated Mother of Pearl vs the reg boot grip vs NAA's engraved boot grip ?

Thank You

Thanks top dog... no shoe box but I do have a special place that I keep them. It's funny I never noticed til now that my wasp is missing from this picture. It's taking up space in my saddlebag on the bike. Gonna have to take another pic. Bummer 

Thanx Top Dog - yes its a a reload of Stingers

Cant see better get my Spectacles 

I called the factory "as stated" asked if there were and delays in shipping , She suggested ordering from the closest shop that has a factory contract with North American Arms it's 4 miles away from the NAA Factory , she then said 4-6 weeks at the most ....... that was a lie

what the hell were you a 0311 ? .............. don't treat me like a *** boot 

If you looked I've been on the Forum 10 + years , trying to buy a pricey gun on a VA disability is a bit difficult , Like I SAID the young Lady LIED to me that's why I checked 1st , I asked if there were delays 1st then ordered.

Now the waiting is at 7 weeks , thinking ahead I called the factory 1st and checked how far there backed up , She says oh no not at all were shipping every week , so I order from a gun shop in the same town as the factory and the shop has a contract with NAA , were talking 4 miles here

I just didn't count on the NAA factory lying to me blatantly

Had mine on order for 4 weeks now 

no poking fun at me it was a long day and I was dirty from work
