Yes, I realize it is super-rare, but miracles do happen, especially this time of year, right? :) So who knows what Santa may bring. Like I said, I'd be happy even with a replica (I vaguely remember seeing someone somewhere on the internet making replicas of factory gun boxes).

I recently picked up a very nice S&W .32 Semi-automatic , but unfortunately it came without any box and/or paperwork. So I'm looking for a box, may be even a replica, not necessarily an original one, as well as the manual. Please let me know if you have anything in this department and willing to...

Folks, I recently found a very nice S&W .32ACP semi-auto in really good condition, but now I'm wondering what are my chances of finding a factory box (or even a replica of it) and the paper manual. Any advice?

I was surprised by how accurate is it, I haven't tested it on Ransom Rest because I don't have the inserts, but all my shots were perfectly on call, so I estimate the Ransom rest group would be around 2" - 2.5" which is plenty for me. My load is classic 200gr lead SWC over 3.7gr BE. That being...

Thanks, folks, the gun is almost brand new, so I believe all the springs are at their original factory rates. I'll try and bend the sear spring and see if it does the trick. The gun shoots really well, I removed the rear sight and machined a custom piece of rail so that I can mound a small red...

Yes but that's the thing, what I have is a standard rate spring and apparently it's too light and allows the trigger to break below 3.5 lbs.

I know it's rather unusual, but I need to increase the trigger pull weight on my 745 just a hair. It does lift 3lbs weight but doesn't lift 3.5lbs. I was hoping to find a heavier trigger return spring at Wolff but they only list reduced power springs. Wondering if you guys know any tricks or...

What is the proper way to insert the backstrap (or as you call it, Frame Insert) back into the frame? I'm pushing down on that mainspring as hard as I can and still cannot properly orient and insert the backstrap. Is there a secret technique for it?

I have a very nice K22 Masterpiece and looking to buy a .500 wide hammer and wide trigger for it, please let me know if you have anything for sale. Thank you! Javaduke
