the cbs ...and shorts are no problem ..just the long ones cci standards aren't that bad ..it seems like all the new crappy stuff ..

I tried to post some pics ..not sure if they are there ...this gun is 95+ blue ..wear on the frame edges ..and the drag line all the ones iv'e seen have ..another ? is how many of these guns were produced in this configuration ..alloy frame and cylinder ..I saw that supica"book had the seial...

I have what I believe to be a pre model 43 kit gun ..alloy frame ...alloy cylinder serial number 50xx serial numbers are on the bottom of of the grip of course which is a square butt flat latch ..face of the cylinder by the edge...and under the extractor rod ..and the grips at least on side have...

It is a nickel plated case no mfg marks...

here is a good one ..came across a piece of 38 spec brass the other day while reloading and it accepted a large pistol primer...the headstamp said 38special superspeed..never saw one before ..does anybody know anything about these..thanks

thanks for the info I will try some CCI standard vel its an early one reports are that serial numbering began at 5000 this one is one of the first 50 if that is true. all matching, under barrel , on back of cylinder and grips I haven't figured how to post a pic yet

I have a question for you folks I have an early 22 kit gun aluminum frame and cylinder ser# 50xx...I have found that the empties are very hard to eject..is that normal..22 cbs no problem...my guess is the aluminum cylinder has something to do with this ..am I right? tell me what you think...

hey there I have had a 22 kit gun serial number 50xx for awhile and cases seen hard to eject...is that normal ..because the cylinder is aluminum ..just wondering...CCi cbs ..no problem ..hi vel and standard are tough.. thanks

I am looking to find a good gunsmith to do some work on some of my S&W revolvers..any good ones you can suggest? Thanks,R.J.

I have through the years liked CCi for my rifles ..and winchester for my pistols ..good thing is CCI are silver ...and Winchester are gold ..so you can never mix them up ..

i have found thru the years that 700x is a great light target load..3.0 grains in my mod 15...thats with 148 gr wadcutters...winchester primers..

Universal clays...nice powder for all midrange loads in 38....357...45acp...and 45colt...give it a try if you haven't yet...

I found a nice accurate load for my Ruger SR9...4.8 grains of Universal Clays ..with a winchester primer..115gr winchester fmj ..very accurate ..for a 9mm..

my first S&W was a model 17 probably about 1983..my recollection was about 250.00...new...wish i never got rid of it ...

i am looking for a set of socks for my model 28 ...a nice old one ..S212xxx...the original are the small type ..i am looking to buy a set of oversize ...just to shoot it...they don't have to be fancy ..i just like the old wood stocks ...not the rubber ones if anybody has an extra set ...give me...
