    MOP grips

    From their aged appearance, I'd guess "I" frame size.

    London to New York in One Hour, Mach 5

    So did anyone in this thread actually read the article? It says nothing about carrying passengers, or really anything at all about what this craft's mission is. "London to New York in an hour" is simply an example of speed that people can wrap their minds around, as opposed to a goal. It would...

    OK, Who Got the 4" K32 ?

    Here are screenshots from the auction, for future reference.

    Colt Official Police .22 LR

    Here's the gun with its extra .22WMR cylinder. It came complete with a crane and ejector rod. I had the crane laser engraved with the caliber, which (going by fuzzy memory) cost just about as much as the rechambering.

    Colt Official Police .22 LR

    That's a nice one! Here's mine that I bought back in 2011 with original hard rubber fleur-de-lis grips. A few years ago I found an extra .22LR cylinder and had my gunsmith ream it out to .22 Magnum. Now I have an Official Police .22LR/.22WMR convertible. *edit* Sorry, the picture I had...

    Safe Organization

    You can see from the pictures that the drawers aren't snug right against each other, so air can move freely. Our house has central heat and air so humidity is not a problem, plus there is a GoldenRod in the bottom of the safe that provides mild warmth.

    Anyone using an Athlon Rangecraft?

    I had emailed Athlon about this topic several months back (before the units were available) and they claimed that you could download the data with a USB cable. Your post made me question that so I emailed them again, and now they agree with what you said - that the files are in .xlsx format but...

    Were there any "copies" of 39-2s ever made by anyone?

    I think you've got it backwards as to who copied who. ;)

    Safe Organization

    Here's my solution for handgun storage. I also have a larger Liberty safe (seen at left) for long guns, which has a set of drawers in the bottom as well. I built it all myself, using ball-bearing full extension slides.

    S&W Letterhead Roper letter

    Well don't keep us in suspense - when is it coming out??? A Mini-14 in .308 sounds like a winner! ;)

    Triple lock opinion

    Here are some screenshots and links to recently completed Triple Lock auctions on GunBroker. All are obviously refinished although some claim "original finish". Except for the .455 Webley, I'd say they were all overpriced. That is to say, I wouldn't pay that much for them. Asking $4000 for a 60%...

    5 shot micro (smaller than J) .327 Mag?

    I have a 2" 6-shot Taurus in .327 Magnum with a rubber grip that encloses the backstrap. Here it is with my .327 Henry: I have at least half a dozen .327s of various sizes. This Taurus is very unpleasant to shoot full house factory .327 through, even with its steel frame. Rubber grips can do...

    Fixed sight, 4" model 29

    Here's mine, a custom build that I found on GunBroker back in 2016. A Model 29 barrel and cylinder mated to a Model 58 frame. For reference, here it is on the left compared to a Model 29-2 4" (center) and a Model 58 (right).
