Tangfolio Revolver question
« on: June 25, 2007, 07:52:14 AM »
Does anyone know where i can find info on these revolvers?  I just picked up a .22LR cheap and wondered about the history, diagrams and parts info. IIRC, It is a TA-86.  Gun Parts Corp does not show it in their catalog.

Thanks

I have one that I bought new in 1976.  Somewhere at home I have the books for it.  I'm on the road right now and will not be home for a week.  I'll send you info as soon as I can.  Mine is a single action .22RF, with two cylinders.  One for .22 S,L, and LR.  The other one is for .22 Mag.  I really like the safety that blocks the hammer from hitting the firing pin, works great.  Rog

I didn't know it came with two cylinders.  .22 mag would be a nice thing to have.  I would appreciate that info.  Thanks.

Mine is the TA-76 single-action.  Very similar to today's Heritage Rough Rider.  My barrel is marked ".22LR" and the cylinder ".22Magnum".  Cheapo chrome finish on alloy frame, and cheesy yellowed plastic grips - looks like a kid's cap pistol.  Good reliable gun, and a decent shooter.
I even purposely got a cheapo studded leather western holster for it to enhance it's "cheesyness".
I outshot another range visitor with a Ruger Singlesix - both .22 Magnums popping sodacans on the 50 yard berm!  More due to my having practiced more, I'm sure.
I've been looking for a .22LR cylinder, but Numrich has only the Magnums.

I took mine to the range for the first time last week.  It shot terribly.  At 7 yards, it was all over the target.  15 yards wasn't even hitting the target.  it wasn't shooting in the same place consistently.  It was all over.

Any ideas?
