I am selling a decent example of an antique S&W 44 DA revolver chambered in 44 Russian. It has some cosmetic and mechanical issues as described but is overall a solid gun that should make a good shooter. The finish is a smooth mottled brownish patina, possibly enhanced with cold blue or...

The grip is very similar to a K Frame round butt. Any RB grip would be a good starting point, with modifications as needed.

For sale: mint condition 8-row knurled aluminum SAT. This is the style used in the late 50s/early 60s. $115 shipped. PayPal FF or USPS MO.

I am looking for an inexpensive 2-inch Model 15 barrel to complete a project. Some finish wear is OK but I would prefer a nice bore. For trade, I have two 4-inch Combat Masterpiece barrels to choose from. One is NOS with a solid front sight, the other is lightly used with some holster wear on...

It shouldn't come as a surprise, considering Wells Fargo's recent scandals and other criminal actions!

It appears to be a New Model No. 3, and it could be in any number of calibers. If there are no markings on the barrel, you can narrow it down by taking a rough measurement of the bore and cylinder. 44 Russian is the most common caliber for these, but there are quite a few other potential options.

In that case, does NY state have a statute that specifically outlines the criteria for deactivating a pistol in order to exempt it from the licensing requirement? That is what you should be researching if that is the intent. Under the law, it might not be sufficient to simply render it not...

What is the owner's reasoning behind deactivation? It can't be a legal requirement like in the UK. is he just afraid that this evil antique firearm will jump up and load itself and go off half-cocked? Where does he think the ammo is going to come from if he doesn't buy it and put it in the gun...

Now that I've had this pistol back in hand for the first time in nearly 2 years, I've been reacquainting myself with it and discovered something interesting. I had previously noticed this small mark stamped into the bottom of the grip that looks like either a proof or property mark. It appears...

I assumed he was talking about the Registered Magnum he used as an example of refinish markings that sold for $8K, but I could be wrong.

Here's a long-overdue update. I just got this back from Chris today. He made a new hand spring, replaced the broken V-spring in the latch and cleaned up a few screw heads. I also had him rebuild the full cock hammer notch, so it now functions properly and has good timing. It looks great and was...

Even with a sharpie, the original type under it is usually still visible. If you are really paranoid about it, the only way to truly redact is to mark it out and then make a photocopy.
