**** The 3" 66-2 has been sold. Thanks for your interest. First run Limited Edition 3" 66's from Ashland Sports were produced in 1984-85. This rare Mint condition 3" bbl w/round butt K-frame has been a safe queen from the original (previous) owner and me, until today. Original owner shot only...

Riccur .... the only problem I see is that you need a larger table or start displaying your guns on the carpeting like SixgunStrumpet. This way your collection will appear smaller, at least to your wife (even if you add a few more pieces), and the problem might go away. Another good way to...

Like new 3" M66-2 picked up a couple weeks ago from my LGS. Includes a set of mint original factory magna's. the Shadow

David ............. I'm pretty certain Doug Turnbull does all of Hamilton Bowen's CCH. the Shadow

+100 for Renaissance Wax (Ren Wax). In my opinion, it's the very best "non-abrasive" wax money can buy. I attempt to maintain all my firearms in mint to near mint condition, and Ren Wax is one of the best investments any firearm owner can make. The company also makes a "mildly-abrasive"...

Jim ......... in my opinion, the 2.5" 66 is a desirable little snubby. I found what I thought was a 2.5" at my LGS last week. I was between appts and had some time to kill and couldn't think of a better place to spend it. In the used gun case was a mint 66-2 w/ box, papers and tools. It was...

66 No dash 4" Jim ............ as a general rule of thumb, gun stores pay roughly 1/2 of the marked resale price, so I agree totally w/ MacA ..... go in with $600. cash, then make an offer for $500. cash and negotiate from there. You never know what you can buy it for unless you negotiate the...

I was a Custom Shirt Manufacturer in Beverly Hills, CA and made several business acquaintances with so called "high profile" personalities while conducting business during the early 60's through to the early 1980's. Here's the list of people whose character impressed me the most, in no implied...

Robinett ........... based on your description of the 27-2, $600. sounds like a very good price. As of late, the average price for M27's range around $1,000. in So Cal, in good to very good condition. It's a very nice handling revolver, and the "bright blue" finish on the 27's was the factories...

medxam ......... your thinkin' Keith Brown grips, is right on! I feel your 66-1 / 2.5" definitely deserves either a set of presentation walnut grips from Blu Magnum blu-magnum.com or Keith Brown keithbrowngrips.com. I have smooth finished grips from both, and their fit & finish is truly...

Patrick and Charlie .......... those are great lookin' grips and the color complements both the nickel and blue finishes equally well. I have a set of KB's custom magna's made from presentation walnut and the fit and finish is superb. In my opinion, Keith Brown & BluMagnum craft the very finest...

If you don't already have some, I'd purchase a spray can of multi (gun) purpose Ballistol purchased direct from ballistol.com (the World's Most Useful & Environmentally Friendly Lubricant), also Midway USA or Brownell's. It lubricates and protects firearms, lock, stock & barrel. It not only...
