Hi skpr77 and UnderDawgAl I have found that most firearms are more accurate than the shootist. Since both of you have revolvers that appear to be quite accurate it sounds like the challenge would be to improve yourself. I went the route of just having to have a M14 to have a target type pistol...

Hi all, They are beautiful, SmithNut, and I am not suprised they are hard to find. you have a corner on the market!!! :) TaKe CaRe Ted

Hi scwcharlie The Marlin 1894c, which I presume you have, is a great rifle for the 357 cal cartridge. If you have just acquired it, new or used, my first suggestion would be, check three times that it is empty, then to thoroughly clean the rifle and lightly oil it. Then cycle it empty lots of...

C & L Thanks for the Hi-jack. He is right on both counts. Beautiful wood and revolver; and lots of luck finding the black walnut. Notice Spegel got his from his back yard, you really rate. :) TaKe CaRe Ted

So what is it??? Aw com'on Brunen, you can at least tell us if it is a square butt or round butt!!! Inquiring minds want to Know.:) TaKe CaRe Ted

Hi exfebee If you will look on page 3 of "Man I got to have one of these bad" thread I think you will find what you are looking for. Not Aherns but is Black Walnut. TaKe CaRe Ted

Hi kwikrnu, Just a great package all around. You did not pay too much if you are happy with the results. By the way your pictures are outstanding. It was great you could rescue twins and keep them together. I am sure that with a bit of TLC they will return the favor many times over after a...

Hi All Originally was posting on the '60s-'80s era but found this is the proper place for my girl. She was born in 1985 is a 4" and has a DPR on the left side of the frame. Still learning on the pics. TaKe CaRe Ted

Hi All, Texas Star: Thank you for the thoughts on the cartridges. At the moment I have a few of the old Fed. 158gr swchp nyclad. that I am saving for my carry option. The 67 will be my primary HD weapon. The secondary cartridge is the Aguila 158gr sjhp. They are suppose to be 900fps/278fpe from...

Hi all I have just acquired a model 67-1 4" ser# AHY71**. Grips are not #'d to gun but at least are wood! Has DPR on left side of frame. Appears in very good to excellent to my untrained eye. Locks up tight with no fore-aft play. b-c gap is .005 all the way around. Interestingly the rear sight...

Hi JKB Welcome to the forum. The first question is does there happen to be a letter in front of the ser# on the butt of the revolver. That letter makes a big difference in manufacturing date. Many leave this off because there is a space between them. Second ? is can you post some pictures...

I apologize for the size. It was suppose to be 800X600. Guess I still have some work to do. TaKe CaRe Ted

Hi All You have been so helpful. I have included a few more pictures. What I am most interested in is does anyone know what kind of stocks these are and/or if they have any special value. There is no ID on the inside but they seem of good fit and quality. Appreciate your help. Finally getting to...

Hi depicts, Great picture. And I thought the idea of the "Ladysmith" was a relatively new marketing tool. Made my day, I learned something new. TaKe CaRe Ted

Hi 29aholic The front sight is white matte, probably nickel, but definitely not blue. Same for the hammer and trigger. Action is smooooth DA and SA. Would be very happy if it would be a factory refinish. With my new found knowledge will try to get some new pics up soon. Thanks for your help TaKe...
