Welcome from another Mountaineer.

Definitly agree with Vulcan Bob about CastBoolits, also would suggest reading Glen Fryxell's book "From Ingot to Target" available on line at NRA - IHMSA Handgun, Rifle, Air Pistol Silhouette Shooting. The Excitement Of Reactive Steel Targets At The Los Angeles Silhouette Club covers all the...

Top break 5 shot. Original hard rubber grips. 6 inch barrel, finish appears to be original. Belongs to a buddy, if I can convince him to sell, whats a good price? Serial #2196xx wast told to look out for fakes but appears to be the real deal. Would like to Know when it shipped if any one has...

As I've said before I have a serious 1911 addiction and really never considered a revolver. I aquired a M&P model of 1905 several years ago and it lived in the back of my safe taken out only for a good wipe down once a year. Recently started shooting it and it totally changed my out look on...

I bought a New Model Black Hawk in .357 yesterday, stainless. It's the second one I've owned, bought the 1st one at the Rod and Gun Club on Post at Bremerhaven Gemany in 1977 for less than a third of what I paid for this one.

I'd go for it I've been looking for a similar model to go with my nickel 4th change. And the price seems fair fot the times.

I used to have a live and let live attitude toward snakes, if they didn't bother me I left them alone. Since being bitten by a Copperhead in 2007 that has changed now I shoot first identify species later or as we used to say in my grunt days "kill em all,Let God sort em out".

Thanks for the Welcome.

I'm about 70 miles north of Charleston. And you know what they say, " Once a Mountaineer always a Mountaineer.

Fairly new to the forum and S&W in general. Have been a 1911 Junkie for alot of years. Allready picked up alot of good info thanks.

We use a 4 x 4 about for feet long off the scrap pile at the cabin. Holes drilled about 6-8" apart stick golf tees in and shoot my old shag balls. We can shoot up to about 75 yds, anything you think you can hit it with off hand only no rest.

I always heard you could tell if an AF guy was a pilot by the size of his wrist watch.

Perhaps it was Refurbished by the US Army Ordnance Corps before being issued during WWII. Hence the R near the Ord.Symbol.

Alk8944 when were you with the 7th, I was with 1st Bde from 81-85. Dwalt as far as the plating goes it is original but not in good shape. some discoloration on both sides above the stocks. Bore is sharp and shiny and it's a great shooter. Thanks for the info everybody.

Thanks, It does have MADE IN USA on the right side. Any idea of the value?
