Thank you for that info. How long did ot take them to resume putting the logo on the frames again?

Well there's one before and one after on both posts. Sorry for the confusion.

I think I posted the pre clean up pics. Here's the after. I managed to scrub the dark brown rust from it.

I picked this up for less than $400 this week. It is a little finish challenged but I managed to clean it up and make it look presentable. The bore and chambers are perfect and mechanically it's like new. This is the first hand ejector I have owned that has no markings on the frame other than...

I'm curious, how did Rex and other NYC gunshops deal with NYCs Sullivan Law? If you bought a gun directly from Rex in NYC did it have to get shipped out if the city or could you take it with you?

I know this is a very old thread but I just found out that my S&W .44 Magnum shipped to Rex Dec 26, 1957. So in my Google search of Rex this thread came up. Very interesting! Mine is S 179423

I actually took quite a bit of time getting it to its current state. A lot of time carefully cleaning off rust spots and trying to preserve as much of the original finish as possible. I'll post a couple of before pics.

Thanks for the info!

Picked this up at Cabelas for $750 this week. It's a bit finish challenged but mechanically like a new gun. Timing is perfect and bore and chambers near mint. It looks like it was terribly neglected but fired little. I never considered buying one of these before because they are usually very...

The NEW .32-20 blues - YouTube

My apologies. I think you're right. The 500 rounds for $360 is definitely a scam and likely a lot of the others are too. Scammers are now exploiting the ammo shortages. They almost got me. Beware!

I don't think it is. Last week nobody had 32-20 ammo. This week I see several brands available between $50-$60 each. One place has Black Hills for $360 for 500 rounds.
