    New to me 38/44 She's home! ** updated photos added**

    Are you insane??? :eek: Why would you want to ruin the perfectly good finish that it already has? :mad:

    Any more no lock models coming?

    AND restore the frame profile on the J and K frames to their previous curvature. The flattened profile on the lock guns is what really makes them ugly.

    My New .22LR is a N Frame

    Chad Gripp (Gripper) had a Triple Lock that had been converted to .22LR, as show in this thread: https://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-hand-ejectors-1896-1961/274670-triple-lock-sn-2747-chambered-22-long-rifle.html?highlight=triple+lock+conversion In post #39 of that thread, I showed pictures of a...

    Am I “THE VILLAGE IDIOT” ...again?!

    Screenshot and pics from the auction for future reference. GB links go dead after a few months. It really should be a Forum requirement that anyone who posts a link to a completed GB auction includes an uploaded screenshot. :mad: Otherwise in three months it will all be a mystery.

    Is Lab Radar a buy @ $200?

    This is the first mention I've seen of this chronograph, so I googled it. Looks like a Garmin Xero clone, more or less. At $350 it's just one more argument not to buy a Labradar now at any price. I've owned a Labradar for several years and a Garmin for about one year. Once I got the Garmin I...

    Is Lab Radar a buy @ $200?

    The Garmin is so much smaller and easier to use than the Labradar it's no contest. The Labradar is pretty touchy when it comes to aiming it at the target, and muzzle position to activate it. I also had to refer to the manual every time I used it, not at all intuitive. And it's huge and heavy...

    QR Scam

    Well that was interesting! Your reference of an Antonov AN-2 kicked off a memory in my brain's archives and I went searching through my photos. I was pretty sure I had seen one in Seattle at the Museum of Flight's Restoration Center (actually in Everett, at least in September 2007 when I was...

    Lunar eclipse pictures

    These are wide angle views taken with my cellphone, so exposure is whatever the phone chose. And this is not my picture, but one taken of the Earth by a lunar lander, Firefly Aerospace's "Blue Ghost". So for the lander this is actually a solar eclipse, where the Earth is covering the...

    Lunar eclipse pictures

    Then totality was from 1:26am to 2:32am. Timewise, these pictures overlap some with my previous pics but the exposure is 1 second, to show the eclipsed part of the moon. See next post for wide angle views....

    What did I miss on this 34 no dash?

    Pics from the closed auction: For comparison, I found this at a local gun shop five years ago: Pre-34 Kit Gun - nearly sprained my shoulder. No box or papers but I can shoot it and lose any money....

    Model 520 front sight height?

    Thanks, that's good to know. That's about the height that I calculated that it should be based on how high it is currently shooting.

    Model 520 front sight height?

    Hey, can someone with a Model 520 (the blue, six shot, fixed sight, N-frame .357) measure the height of the front sight for me? I have one that I bought a few years back and the front sight has been filed down to only .088 above the top of the ramp. The GB seller theorized that someone was...

    Want to get yourself frustrated? Just try to teach someone proper screw tightness!

    When I was a kid growing up on the farm and working on plows and combines and such, my Daddy told me to "Tighten it as much as you can, and then a little more."
