Gun Show got Me-.38 top break
Thought I had bought my last (Lemon Squeezer), but, went to the OGCA
show Saturday and found a nice .38 Lemon Squeezer, a blued fifth mod., 3 1/4",couldn't resist and bought it. I had built a case for another refinished one just like it, so I put it in that case. Now I will maybe, build another case for that one.

Nice gun, great case.
Did you create a cylinder pocket in the bottom of the case, or set up another system of blocks and stops to hold it stationary? I have toyed with case designs before but have not yet got around to building one.

.38 (Lemon Squeezer)
Thanks All, to answer D C Wilson's question, No I didn't create a cylinder pocket in the bottom of the case. The surfaces of all deviders, bottom, top, and sides are felt covered and the top fits down fairly close to the top of the deviders, and contents of the case and can move very little. The case can be turned upside down and when opened top side up everything is in place.
Drhenzler, as to your question, I paid $335.00.
Twaits, I will try to post my only try at a close up of this revolver out of the case. My photograpy leaves a lot to be desired. The revolver has a like new bore, 99% of the bluing, a few small ticks here and there, but, is
tight as new.
Thanks.

.38 (Lemon Squeezer)
I just purchased one myself. In (reportedly) near new condition. There is doubt that it has ever been fired. I hope to cast my eyes on it by the weekend.
Its a 5" model

Lemon Squeezers
You can be proud of that one. I have yet to find a longer barreled one like
that. I found a nice little holster for mine at a gun show, and when I got it home it was to long for my 3 1/4" and is for the 5". Here is a picture of it.

I've got a really nice 5" 4th model, which I'll trade for a Scofield replica, or cash... It's a beauty, but not something I'll enjoy having...
write me [email protected] for details..
