    Model 18 .22lr Combat Masterpiece

    I am in agreement totally on that one. The gun show scalpers pull out the blue book when trading or buying and twenty minutes later you walk by the same isle and the same gun is priced $150 more. Go figure. JMO

    Model 18 .22lr Combat Masterpiece

    I tend to agree, with Obama's gun control agenda everything is not in alignment with the blue book. vickersmaster303

    Model 18 .22lr Combat Masterpiece

    I am considering possibly selling my blued model 18, no dash made circa 1961 in very good shape. Given the current political situation what do you think a fair price might be? Thanks for any input vickersmaster303:)

    Smithing Question Firing pin R&R Smith Model 18 .22lr

    Yes, certainly I can do that I have the spring. The question is though, there is some wear on the firing pin the nose is not rounded but a little flat. Changing it would not hurt anything and would give another .001 protrusion or so which can't hurt for ignition. Thanks for your reply.

    Smithing Question Firing pin R&R Smith Model 18 .22lr

    Q: The firing pin on my Smith 18 22lr is frame mounted. The absolute protrusion through the frame is about .030.

    Smith Model 18 no dash# 22lr action question

    Shot a Model 18 no dash made in 1961 with the checkered diamond grips yesterday. I picked up the gun recently. The gun shoots fine perfect ejection, ignition etc. However, the action seems to be on the tight side. Single action kind of hard to thumbback the hammer. There is very little cyl end...
