Thanks gentlemen. Yes it did come with those stocks and the holster, sorry I did not get a picture of that. It is definitely a 28-2, judging from the serial number it likely was produced around 1973 or so. At least as far as I can tell, I looked it up in the SCSW and that is what it looked like...

Well, I had no choice I had to rescue this pitiful revolver from it's desperate circumstances. It came with a Smith and Wesson holster for the princely sum of $200. I figured I could clean it up a little and then shoot the snot out of it with a clear conscience at that price. Now if I can figure...

Doc, that is how I looked at it. Worst case scenario would be I wind up with a fair priced shooter. He also had a couple of shotguns. I will probably revisit those on Monday.

First, Doc, that is a beautiful gun. It quickens my pulse just looking at the photo. Second, I checked out the gun in question, it was a 28-2 with an N serial number. It had a case hardened hammer, dark extractor and blue trigger. It was filthy and the nickel was worn in places. But the barrel...

Gentlemen, Thanks for the replies. Two things I am pretty sure of, after reading your responses and the linked thread, they do not know exactly what they have and it certainly isn't a factory nickled Highway Patrolman. But I am going to go see it now and find out for myself. If it is in decent...

I have some questions, but I did not want to intrude on the Highway Patrolman thread. Tomorrow, I am going to look at a "5 screw factory nickel model 28" . If my research is correct, then the five screw phased out before the model number came in. So it can't be a model 28 five screw, right? And...

Depending on clothing and mood, it rotates between my wife's model 60ls, a fullsize Kimber Tactical or an H&K USP 45 compact. It is usually one of the 45s.

Andy Griffith, I sent you an email last night, if you did not get it or it leaves you with more questions than answers, please let me know.

Send me an email at the address in my profile. I need to ask some questions in order to give you the best answer. I am a funeral director in Central Florida. What they want to do is legal, but there are conditions they will have to deal with.

It amazes me how quickly, some folks will get fired up when a post refers to "bad cops" and insist that most cops are good, there are only a few bad apples, but sit silent when any other profession is painted with a big, fat, wide brush. Before I get chewed up here, let me just state that I...

Love's is still there, but I believe he had a little paperwork trouble and is no longer an ffl. The young lady (Whose name I can not recall right now) is still there with an even younger lady behind the counter. At least the last time I was there. Chuck is still there everyday, but is in the...

Always good to see another member form Florida. Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the forum, guaranteed you will enjoy yourself here, probably learn something to boot. I know that I learn something new just about everytime I visit.

My 2000 Chevy Silverado does the same thing. I recall hearing from the local mechanic, that Chevy put out a service bulletin asking that the wiring harness connector at the tank be replaced if you did any work on the gas tank. If that's true, the folks mentioning the grounding issues are...

Throw my name in to please. Thanks.
