Excellent video, thanks for sharing it. I've been considering buying a 625 for a while, either a Mountain Gun or the Thunder Ranch. I've definately decided now and it just a matter of which one. Thanks again for the video.
@gunrobot Your cycling of the action with those mis-fires was VERY dangerous...What would have happened do you think, if one of those rounds was a hangfire? It would have blown the round out the cylinder as it was cycling around! Are you a certified gunsmith? Take three moon clips, measure them, you will get three different values of thicknesses. A gunsmith familiar with the 625 will fill you in. Don't be guessing, take it to a professional.
@YeszItsMe yeah I am using well seated Federal primers, that's why I'm perplexed as to why it's still misfiring. There were a variety of suggestions, from tightening mainspring, to checking hammer drop weight to changing to APEX firing pin (which is what I'll be doing tonight)
@gunrobot ...which would also have been my next suggestion if the Federals aren't hitting. Good luck and thanks for the response on the F.O. sight. I may switch my original out soon.
Can you talk about the difference between the gold bead front sight and the F.O. front sight? My gold bead shows well when it's sunny out, as it is in this video, but other times I find it a bit harder to see. Are you happy with the F.O.?
@YeszItsMe I haven't shot a Gold Bead sight before so I can't comment about it, but the bright red FO sight is amazing in the day. you can even see it glow red in rainy seattle weather in a youtube quality video. It works extremely well to guide your eyes to the front sight, after that it's just a matter of aligning the sights and pressing out a shot. (which i fail miserably at in a few stages :) )
For competition, the red or green fiber is almost a necessity.

Also Federal primers will help alleviate those light strikes after any type of trigger/spring work on a 625.

@VR4154 Light primer strikes. Need to adjust the spring tension a little.
