Thanks for the info guys. Nice forum you got here.

Wow, I am not a collector but your gun looks great for its age IMO. Mine looks rough, but here in the NC mountains it was used/abused and not a "sock drawer" trophy. No "value" I suppose, but still a cool item to pass down through the family. ;)

1883/1884... Wow. Dumb question, but would a 130 year old gun be expected to look better than this lol? I am new to this but figure manufacturing processes were crude then, so how many "nice" examples of these are there out there? I have no intention of selling and don't care about actual value...

Also can anyone give a better idea of production date based on the 49xxx serial?

Thanks Tlay for your response. Is Hoppes 9 a good oil/cleaner for this type of gun?

I inherited this from my dad, who inherited it from his grandfather. From what I can tell based on some of the info I found on this site, it is certainly older than 1899, and likely WAY older since it is a sub 50xxx serial. The gun is rough and in need of some TLC. I would like to at least...

How can I determine the year of this .32 revolver?

My gun seems to have a few FTE issues using the Federal too. Winchester bulk/M22 and CCI are fine though. My fix... stop using Federal. :)

As I posted above my email shows in stock for 5/24 delivery, but my Cabela's account shows backordered. Their inventory systems suck.

I actually felt like I was probably late on my order, but I got lucky I guess. My order confirmation email is copied below: Products Ordered 1 of 21-7893 WINCHESTER M*22 1000-ROUND PACKS .22LR 40GR PLRN/1000 @ $49.99 each In stock-Approx delivery Fri 5/24 Total Merchandise = $49.99 Postage =...

Maybe I am just lucky, but ammo is available if you look. Since January of this year when I bought my 15-22 and got my wife into shooting, I have bought 30K plus rounds of 22LR at RETAIL prices. Of that, the most I paid was $42 shipped for 4 bricks of CCI SV, but 98% of it has come from...

In my 5 months on this board, this may be the most ridiculous thread yet.

Got my mags from S&W today. They delivered 13 days after I placed my order. :D

I can't believe this post is still going. We all know the ammo "shortage" is BS and that a free market creates gouging. Some of you may remember when Nintendo Wii was a hot commodity... Didn't take long until everyone that wanted it had one and then you couldn't give one away and the stores were...

I would definitely buy 1, possibly 2.
