Chief38. Let's just say the price was right.

Picked up a nice 5' 27-2. Nice except for the bulged barrel. Seems like I have three options. 1. Shoot and live with it as is. 2. Rebarrel with another 3-1/2, 4', or 5", if I can find one, or 3. Covert the whole thing to .44 Special. Cylinder, barrel, other wee bits, etc. I'm thinking that...

Thanks. I was hoping it meant Czech Bureau of Something, or something equally exotic.

I picked up a 686-6, Plus 1 with a seemingly distinctive serial number. It's CZB30XX. I'm wondering what or if there's any significance to the CZB prefix. The revolver has the 2.75" full lug barrel, Hogue-ish S&W grips, adjustable rear and red ramp front sights, and is pretty bright/polished...

TRADED/GONE-COLT SPECIAL COMBAT GOVERNMENT 45 This gun is like new in the box, except it isn't. $1750.00, FTF in WV or plus shipping to your ffl. Not really interested in trades, unless stooopidly in my favor.

Thanks all for the advice and comments. I started the process by removing those pretty aftermarket oversize grips. Lo and behold, without doing anything else, single action was back. It seems that the grips shifted and the hammer spur was contacting the upper edge of the stocks. They must have...

I took my .22 Model 63 to a class today because I could shoot 10-cent ammo instead of the expensive .357 or .45 stuff. After 5 shots single action, the hammer wouldn't stay cocked for a single action shot. It would still fire double action, but try as I might, no single action. I've never had...

Mine is the Leupold fixed 2.5X and it works just fine for me. I've also used a Burris 2X scout scope in the past and it was a very capable setup. I stayed away from the variable just because of the changing eye relief/variable power consideration. Mine is a fixed power-no brainer.

My scout wears the Leupold scout scope and it's good out to 300-400 yards. I think you'll like that setup. Enjoy.

In a trading mood.

A thing of beauty, doncha think.

Greyfox, I looked in the mirror and realized that needed to be my motto, too. Practical beats pretty.

I've had them in all sizes from SOCOM to Supermatch and the Scout is my all-time favorite. I currently have both a SOCOM and a Scout and the SOCOM will be leaving soon. The Scout just feels "right" to me. The SOCOM is too short and chunky, the full-size is a little long and unwieldy, and the...

454 Casull Ruger Super Redhawk for sale or trade. It's been to JD Jones' SSK Industries for a makeover. The 7-1/2 inch barrel was trimmed and recrowned to 6 inches. It got a trigger job, smoothed and reduced trigger SA and DA pull, and a trigger stop. $1200 OBO
