Yep, if it's a Jovino they do bring a premium. They initially did 600, 2 inch, then 1000, 3 inch guns. There is a 2 inch in the classified sale section currently. Generally, if they are excellent to nib, with box and paperwork, they'll go north of $1000.

I've had mine for a little over a month. I've got three range sessions on it and love it. Easy set-up, fast processing and very compact. I shopped around and found one for $349 shipped. Its a great deal for the money. I've used a Garmin and liked it...but honestly can't justify the higher cost...

Looking for a decent, servicable set. Either hard rubber or wood. Let me know what you have!

My interest in pre-war N frames started around 2000. Since, I've managed to gather up 11, all of but a couple of them target sighted models. A couple of 1st model targets, a couple of 2nd model targets, a couple of RM's, a couple of1917's, one commercial target (yep, it letters), a OD, a HD and...

My guess would be a second or perhaps a third model or newer. Definitely prewar, the set might fit an Outdoorsman or a heavy duty. The triple lock is kinda a creature all to itself. There isn't a lot of parts interchangability with it and other models. There is significant differences in the...

I'm thinking you need a sunburst box for your kit gun.

I think it's great! The grips from just a little later, plus the grip adapter would be in keeping with some who bought a target, shot it awhile, then decided for a King Super Target upgrade. By that time, the grips and grip adapter would be available and added to the upgrade. Anyway, it makes a...

I agree with everything 22 Hipower said. Looking at your one photo, nothing to indicate a refinish. However, a good factory refinish is hard to detect in one photo. If it was refinished, it was either by the factory or someone with all the proper skills.

Well...this is as close as I can come to Patton's guns. My SAA is a first generation .44 Special/Russian with some natural African tooth material. It was produced in 1920. My RM is a 5 inch ordered by the New Hampshire State Police in 1937.

Where does the binding occur? At the beginning, middle or end of the trigger travel? Is the ejector rod tight? As suggested, check the ejector rod is straight. Also check yoke alignment.

Loosen the strain screw. Place a spent primer (anvil removed) over the strain screw where it contacts the spring. Tighten the strain screw and see if that solves the problem. If so, order a new strain screw. They are fitted to give the proper amount of spring tension by filing the end of the...

Mine is 260026, shipped June 1, 1956 to Walter Lookabaugh, the S&W West Coast Sales Rep. No frills blued, but absolutely immaculate. I'm proud to own it!

I sometimes grab my Winchester Model 62 and load it up with shorts. I think it holds 19, with one in the chamber. The rest of the 50 round box goes in my pocket. It is a perfect field "walk around" gun. Light, accurate and just plain fun. I'm not against air guns, I have several. But the 62...

Smith 19, That's a very nice Terrier! Condition looks wonderful. Congrats on your find and let us know what the letter says. Welcome to the club.

That box will only work with magna grips. The targets are too big.
