    That's a piece of art.

    Pretty Outdoorsman of 1950

    Lucky man. There's something special about those vintage N-Frames.

    It's 53

    Congrats man. We're at 48, never thought I'd live this long much less being married that long. It's the biggest blessing of my life.

    What are you carrying today?

    CZ SP-01 with an extra mag. My situation is very unique, I don't carry on my body. Many many years ago I broke my neck (motorcycle) which left me riding a wheelchair. The good news I can carry petty much any full size pistol I want under my seat cushion.

    I tried, but failed. But can it be called "failing"?

    Sounds like a win win to me. More often than not I've always regretted selling a gun.

    Well I found it

    First 610 Mt. Gun I've seen. Very cool. Is this one part of the Lipsey's special run or a new offering from S&W? My 610 is one of my favorites. Range report soon? Is that a gold bead front sight? Do you like it? The 10mm is getting more attention with ammo prices coming down and more...

    Model 29-5 classic

    I'd be all over a 29-5 or -6, 5" brl for $1500. Even with the numbers being somewhat soft right now. Anything under is a very good deal. And if it's a DX I'd expected it to go for even more. All this assuming it's in excellent condition.

    S&W model 10-8 unknown caliber

    Interesting, never know what's going to come along.

    What's a fair price for local sale for this 29?

    Looks to be a -6 with the Hogue grips. No reddot, rear sight included I'd go $800-$1000. Be worth more w/o the magna-ports.

    Scopes on the .44 Magnum

    Most of my experience with a scoped pistol is with a T/C, one thing for sure with magnum pistols you don't go cheap. If you buy budget it's trouble. Quality is key. That said I don't care for a scoped pistol. I have trouble with them, just couldn't shoot accurately consistently. Now reddots...

    Hard read

    Moby Dick. I've taken a couple of runs at it but Melville writes in an old English that I just suffer with. I get no enjoyment only frustration. I guess I shouldn't have skipped English class so much.

    Nickel Engraved Model 29

    Very cool. I'm not big on nickel but that done nicely.

    Bored and baking

    That looks good. I just pick a big bunch of basil, I bet basil would be good in that.

    I think my new stray cat may be a big one!

    I like the trail camera idea. That would be definitive. My guess bobcat.

    S/W 686 no dash year date.

    I bought the 5th edition off Amazon last month.

    A SHOUT-OUT TO SMITH AND WESSON REPAIR SERVICE

    Any mechanical device/product is going to have normal wear and tear. Not to many companies are still supporting a product after 28 years of service. We live in an age of, they don't build them to fix them, if it brakes buy a new one. Kudos to S&W.

    Short Barrel Shotgun

    Salvaged this Ithica from a barn which was left in a corner to rust. Fortunately the internals cleaned up good. Cut the barrel at 18.1", did a rattle can camo job, custom forearm and added the pistol grip buttstock. Thinking a reddot would be a cool addition.

    K22 masterpiece day

    I'll play. Here's my birth year gun, 1952 K22. It's just such a quality piece of machinery. Beautiful gun.

    EAA in Oshkosh, WI

    I'm an Oshkosh native, we look forward to the big show every year. Planes flying over, you never know what you're going to see, bi-planes, WWII fighters, current military jets, the blimp, Sky writing, it's quite a show.

    Are these raised grooves inside barrel compensator normal?

    I don't think they are rifling. What is the diameter? I suspect it's larger than the barrel and it rifling. I would agree it's probably something to do with assembly.
