A new edition to my accumulation 5 Screw HP
I stumbled across this 5 Screw HP and could not resist its charms. It a late 55 or early 56 guns as best can be told with out a letter. Its really clean has very little loss just some rub marks here and there. Has a scratch near the grips, it had Pacmayers and the scratch follows the line of the top of the rubber, must have been from cleaning. I can yet tell if its through the blue. Its also has a aftermarket rear sight blade, this can be changed. I dont have the original stocks so these things will have to do
In total I've got under under $800 in this as a package. Someone will tell me its way to much
It shoots GREAT to say the least, the trigger is also so smooth with a nice break.
Id call it a high end shooter
I am playing with the camera to get better pictures, I will see if I can do better!

What's up with the prop rod?

This came from Michigan, an estate they had a bunch of other stuff. Woulda shoulda, coulda....
The stocks came from the internet, cost 3/4 of the price of the gun
ahh the prop rod, long story but if its right side round, thats all you see in the picture the camera tripod is to short

Congrats. That's a very nice 5 screw HP.
I'd shoot it but not with those grips on it.

Nice HP!! I bought a 28 no dash on Christmas Day, on GB. Mine also a 6 incher. 1960 vintage. Super clean! Had Pachs on it. I had some diamond targets that came from another gun for it. I really shoot it well (for me) Currently it has thumbrest target grips on it. Don't really like the looks, but results are good. Enjoy your 28! Bob

very nice gun and the cokes are great too i agree with bamabiker, dont shoot it with those stocks on it, one small mishap and those stocks can lose alot of value
