What a nice little gun! That appears to be ANIB (as new in box), and probably unfired. These are desirable and in that condition it might bring in the $500 to $700. Don't take to a dealer to sell, he will only offer you about 60% or less for it. There is a For Sale place here on the forum...

I had a retinal surgery to eliminate a macular pucker about 20 years ago. It worked, but the end result left me with about a 2 degree area in the center of my left eye vision that is all squirrelly. Image twisted and random. I have learned to look around it and only bothers me in close up...

I get several a day from various text messages for "approving" the order of the whatever I bought with Pay Pal, or to pay for the software i ordered. My M'soft #11 has a "Junk/Block" feature and it often does well blocking that one, but then a different one shows up. Delete, delete, delete.

Just about any "good brand" of bolt action rifle is a good companion and makes a likeable shooter. My preference is a Anschutz sporter from about the late 60's. With a compact 4-12 Burris scope it handles about anything I have needed done. I have a 10-22 and it is fun, but burning up ammo is...

You asked for pictures. This one is a no dash, shipped June 1982, s/n AAF66xx. Stocks replaced by Mr Hogue himself in 1986. And the recall done by Mike Stuckschlager, (old timers will remember him).

The 60-4 was the stainless equivalent. I sometimes wonder if the 2000 includes both blued and stainless. I have personally seen too many 36-6's just in my local area to believe there are only 615.

Don't have any No 2's, but a few different #1 1/2's/ Both rim fire and center fire. The little plaque identifies the type.

As 71vette mentioned, they shoot much better than expected.

I did one on a Mod 60 some years ago, kept the original mainspring and hand no problems. After I had acquired a Mod 640 I replaced the original unmolested hammer to the Mod 60.

A friend of mine has the same but in .308. I think he mounted a scope, a few shots to zero, and that's it. Doubt if has been out of his safe for 30 years.

When I first started working on S&W's, about 40 years ago, I read a gunsmithing book and it said, to remove the side plate use a "wooden" small hammer handle, ans hit "smartly" on the inside edge of the grip frame. I had a 2 oz ball peen hammer I use and it has let me remove every side plate I...

F84 flight over Chaumont France about 1962.

In the back of the truck. Two cautions. 1. Open to theft any time you are not in the vehicle. 2. Quite a few states require unattended vehicles with firearms to be locked up. If you can't "lock up" your truck bed I would recommend you find a way to do so.

The M185319 would be 1981, but the # on the butt of the revolver shown, M199015 would be 1982.

Kershaw has been making great blades for many years. I have a Kershaw assisted opening 1660CKT that I have been carrying since 2006. Perfect size and blade configuration. Not any multi steel, but just good solid knife.
