I haven’t seen a 3 inch k frame of any variety in my area less than $600 in years. I will try to post pictures tonight, but mine is cosmetically challenged. But that’s ok—I bought it as a shooter. Hard to go wrong at $400!

Mine showed up. It was the one in the pics with the Pachmayr grips and a number 54 sticker over a weird engraving.

I appreciate the advice. I have a lot of ballistol for black powder shooting, so I’ll try rubbing it down with that. And I definitely pull the grips to oil it. I really do like the look of the gun. I was only considering a rebluing half-heartedly. Shot it yesterday with some 158 grain, and it...

Oil makes sense. My issue is that I live in Florida, so I’m fighting 100% humidity most days.

I recently picked up a shooter 10-8 in trade. Perfect bore and solid action. I enjoy shooting heavy barrels. But as you’ll see it has very little finish left. Is there a wax or something I can apply to mitigate rust? It’s also a candidate for a refinish since you can’t any signs of rust or...

Getting rid of my 13-3 is one of the dumber things I have ever done. I loved carrying that thing. I even carried it one of my carry guns as a prosecutor, haha.

Has anyone ever tried this as an alternative to bobbing or using a bobbed hammer in a Model 36. If so, does anyone have any pictures of this?

I have for sale a 1964 Colt Detective Special. Bluing is 95%. I can find no blemishes except for slight lightening in the cylinder notches. I see no turn ring. Some discoloration in the grips, but that can probably easily be remedied with some oil. It has been in a sock for a few years now. In...

I was given a 28-2 N267xxx by a friend who owed me a little bit of money some years back. It was nickel plated at some point in its life. The nickel was fading in places really bad and flaking at the muzzle. Shoots great. But after holding onto it for a number of years, a friend gave me a gift...

I know it's off topic, but the rule applies to non longarms. A non FFL can ship long arms through USPS.

Looks awesome! I have a 28-2 with them right now. It was nickled at somepoint after it left S&W, but it was cloudy and chipping off at the muzzle. Ford's is redoing it in the proper matte blue. They have had it since June. I really can't wait to get it back! Helps that the only money I have in...

Curious: what is the current going rate on a used (no box) 1006 in excellent shape?

I got mine from a friend a few years back because he owed me a small amount of money. Shoots great, but at some point it was nickel plated. The plating was worn out and flaking. It is at Fords being rebuked right now. I can't wait to get it back!

Bananaman, what stocks are those on your 10-5?

Thanks for all the advice! The gentleman who sold me the 64 saw this thread and offered me a factory bobbed hammer for a very fair price!
