I put this on a year or so ago, but thought it time once again to show the 4 known barrel lengths; 4", 5", 6 1/2", and 8 3/8ths, of the elusive 29-1 all together. I know some of our members own this model so feel free to show them off. :)

Jackalope!!!

To be honest, I've never even seen the elusive 29-1; only heard about them and looked at all the gun shows in the Houston area for the past year....but not one around.

I figured they must be like the beloved Jackalope here in Texas or bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster. You hear stories about them but never actually lay eyes on one.

Then....you've got 4 of them. Totally amazing! Thanks for showing.

That's because he was smart enough to be aquiring guns while the rest of us were drinkin' beer and chasin' wimen.

I was around when those were available, I just sort of assumed that they would always be. (Actually I didn't really think about it.) "Never know what you have 'til it's gone" or however the song goes. I hope that nobody will be looking for guns with locks on them in fifty years.

Very, very nice set. I hope you shoot them, at least now and then. They're guns, not weights to hold your safe down.
 
I had a stupid thought when I looked at the photo. "Gee, all from the same year."

DUH...

Seriously, that 5" 29-1 wasn't found growing on a tree. Quite a find.

Is it just the photo or is there something 'different' about the finish of the shorty version.

Pilgrim, same finish just more gun oil and high edge wear than the others. It's saving grace other than being a yoke stamped 29-1 is that so far, it's the only 4" 3 screw example found.

Here is my 29-1. To bad it is a 6 1/2 " gun. I guess I could take a hacksaw to it and make it a 5 incher. I got it in Tulsa in November of last year..The second picture is my 29-2 5 incher that I found about 3 years ago.

Beautiful array of 29-1's! I find the variations in the shape of the stocks (the upper edge, specifically) interesting given they were made during, roughly, the same time frame. Can these variations be due to different employees shaping the edges differently? I'm sure Roy could tell us.

Thanks for the 2nd look,

Jerry
 
Really nice set! Never seen em all together, thanks for sharing.
 
Hey Jim

One thing about it if you wack the barrel on the -1, you'll get rid of the blue wear on the muzzle;)
 
What a quartet! The guns look fantastic and the Cokes look emmaculate. The grain in the long tube Cokes is amazing. I have never seen such a blond colored set as the five incher has on it. SWEET!
 
Best Karma I've seen in a while. Sign me up. Ummm do I get all four (4)? :D
 
Sorry for the noob question, but what makes these guns so rare? is it just because not many were manufactured?

BTW gorgeous guns, never really paid much attention to them until just now
