Very nice set-up. I like it much better than what I am using. A desk just does not make a good loading bench. Too bad American Workbench went out of business. Those were awesome. Here's mine...

I have never known anyone who de-capped a live primer and re-seated it. But I am glad to hear that many here have without a failure to fire, or worse, a loud and unexpected noise. When primers get up to a dollar a piece we may all decide to do it.

1954 Nash Metropolitan. If they were 6" shorter you could hug the cute little buggers.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Off to the shaker they go.

I have 46 primed .45 Colt cases. These cases were stuffed with a very hot charge meant for the loader's TC Contender. I pulled the bullets and will re-load with a much softer charge for my Model 25-3 Smith. The brass is now the color of not-brass and I want them nice and shiny. In the past I...

Remington Model 7 CDL in .300WSM. It was nothing I needed but something I had to have for some reason or another.

Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless built in 1926. If you bought a new car when this was made, you bought a Ford Model T. I love this little baby.

I recently picked up five .357 Magnum cases with large primers during a range session. Never heard of such a thing until finding this old thread. Headstamp is REM-UMC so I knew they were old brass. They are nickel plated as well. I decided to load and shoot them, then changed my mind and put...

Excellent seller. Helped me through the purchase, answered all questions, and packaged the old Smith so well that the package could have been driven over and the revolver would not have been damaged. This transaction could not have gone any better!

Here is an option. I use this on my rifle cases. just push it down, the point leaves a small dimple when spring releases it.

I don't lock my ammo up. It's all in a climate controlled room in the basement hidden from prying eyes in kitchen cabinets. Back when life was normal the last thing you would expect was for a burglar to steal your ammo as it was real heavy and wasn't worth much money. That was back when we could...

Thanks for reply. The pic is of my Model 28. The serial is S224xxx. According to the book I just bought that puts it 1961 or thereabouts. I have the box it came in with all the paperwork and cleaning stuff. With all the replies received, I can safely assume the stocks are incorrect. Perhaps one...

Thanks for the info Jason. I have the box here somewhere. I'll check it out.

I'm guessing these would be correct? I bought the book so many here have advised I get. It is the third edition Standard Catalog of S&W. So much to learn. Here is my M28...

Glad to see this question asked. I have an S serial numbered Model 28 with target grips. I'm new here with lots to learn. Would my target grips have been added by a previous owner?
