I think I've got it uploaded now.

The photo didn't go through. I'll have to work on this.

I received this 1947 K22 last week. 5 screw with one line address.

I use the Lee Factory Crimp Die on all cast bullet loads. .32 H&R, .30-30, .32 Win Spl, .357 Mag, .38 Spl, .41 Mag, .44 Spl, .45 Colt, .45 ACP, .45-70.

2nd Model HE .44 spl with 5" barrel. Letters to being shipped 1933. Fun to shoot.

Thank you...

I think that is a great price. I'd jump on it.

I just picked up a 14-3, 6" in great condition. No holster wear with a faint turn line on the cylinder. Looks like a safe queen. SN is 3K618xx. I'm guessing 1970ish. Can anyone confirm or set me straight.:D

Thanks for sharing. I'm looking at a set of grips like yours on ebay.

Very possible scenario. A good read, concerning union busting and crime in Illinois during this period, is a book called 'Bloody Williamson'. Everybody was well armed.

The letter arrived today, 11-3-15. I mailed the request on 6-9-15, almost 5 months. Period correct grips are next on the list, but these target stocks work just fine. I just wish this piece could talk. It started out as a police issue in 1933 in or near Peoria, Il. and ended at a farm auction...

What is the current best guess as to wait times for already submitted requests? I sent in a request on June 12 of this year for an early 30's vintage 2nd model hand ejector with a 5" barrel, which means I'm sitting at 4 months. If you recently received a letter, when did you send in the...

Yes, I plan to shoot this .44 regularly!

Kinman, I also have the BPCR bug. A couple Shiloh Sharps and a Marlin 1895 CB in 45-70 and 45-90. I also cast for 45 acp, 45 colt, 44 spl, 357, 32 win spl and 30-30. I sent off for a letter a couple of weeks ago. The 5" barrel makes it somewhat unique. I do not have the original grips...
