Hello Pete; My advice is to go for the fun factor if you really want one. These things are the young boys (pre-teen) let's play army rifles based on Viet Nam era M16's....the Mattel toy for real GI's back then. My Army real life was with M14 and I got out before M16's were issued to my unit...

UPDATE MAY 8, 2025!! This program has really taken off, and now, thanks to the generosity of Member "Ameridaddy" (Dick Webb) who lives near me, we now have two (2) Manson 22LR cylinder finisher reamers in play for this program. Also I remembered my old "flea bay" selling days and reactivated my...

UPDATE, MAY 6, 2025, REAMER AND TAP HANDLE RETURNED FROM FLORIDA, GOING OUT TODAY TO MEMBER HARDTOHANDLE, HAVE SENT A DM TO MEMBER KANEWPADLE TO SEND ME HIS CONTACT INFO AS HE IS NEXT AFTER HARDTOHANDLE RETURNS THE PACKAGE. PROGRAM IS PROCEEDING WELL. THANKS TO ALL FOR COOPERATING.

Thanks Bill for the correct box definition. Now I see that Bangor Punta took over in 1965, so my Bangor Punta top and April 15, 1995 bottom are obviously mismatched. Somebody hand marked up a torn end label and there is no serial number written on the bottom, so "just a box". It does fit my...

Price after 25 minutes haggling ended up being $887.08 with taxes, 4473 Form (wouldn't take my C&R), BG check fee, so that was OTD. A little higher than I would like, especially with no box, tools, docs, etc. just the gun but on the other hand, how often do you see a 95% or better, no dash...

So....I know...I know....I have been told numerous times by you know who that when I go into a LGS for anything, that I am NOT to linger, loiter, drool or otherwise occupy myself at the "used revolver" counter............BUT...........No one around, obviously bored clerk, fantastic plastic at...

Wheeler Delta Series tool I've got guys (and gals) tromping in/out my door at least weekly, if not daily. The Wheeler Delta Series locks in tight, compresses the D ring (or whatever spring loaded design you have) and for sure hasn't bent out of whack yet. Can't recall Midway or Brownell's, or...

excellent buy for that money I think you got a very good deal for $300. I paid $400 for mine (4-1/4" bbl, shipped December 1939 per Roy) from a family that just wanted it gone. They only knew about one round being fired by their father after he inherited it from his father, who never shot it at...

Congrats on your family heirloom and welcome from Virginia That is a nice one for sure OP, and with family provenance too. One suggestion beyond obtaining the Factory Letter of Authenticity would be to gather as much information on the family members who owned it before you. Not just their...

BTT with lower prices BTT with lower prices...thank you

OK..22LR loaner reamer program off and running! It's on the way to Tlawler today. Sent PM to Tom with tracking number. Also sent PM to HardToHandle, next on list for him to send me contact info. We are off and running...:D PS: added a couple more to the list today, Ken158, sjmjax, and...

Add some pics of tap handle if you need it Per my UPDATE above to the Manson 22LR reamer LOANER Program, please let me know if you need a tap handle along with the reamer when it is your turn. I'll send the one shown with my "old vise" but make sure you don't even attempt using one of these...

**** Just found out that USPS Small Box Priority Mail is $10.65 anywhere in domestic USA so seems a shame to send only the Manson Reamer, but the lady at the post office cautioned AGAINST using small padded envelopes as they run through the high speed sorters and she thought too delicate for...

I suspected keyholing but it was the target backer (lack thereof) My 100 year+ old revolver shooting 32-20 WCF lead round nose. Usually this gun produced nice holes in Birchwood Casey splatter targets at indoor range (no outside wind). This target looked like keyholing to me but others said...

UPDATE TO 22LR REAMER LOANER PROGRAM..CLOSE THIS POST ADMINISTRATORS PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD AS OF TODAY, 04-20-25 SO NO MORE MEMBERS ADD TO THE LIST OF THOSE WANTING THE REAMER. I HAVE EIGHT (8) MEMBERS IN LINE AND WILL SET UP A NEW THREAD RIGHT AFTER THIS FOR ANY OTHERS WHO WANT TO ADD...

Please see my post #12 replying to Pete D (Narragansett) post titled "My 22's Just Got Reamed" that he posted yesterday (04-15-2025) at 4:55pm. Nobody has the Manson reamer in stock and I hear the price even if they have one is outrageous, so I am offering to send mine to any Forum member in...

Glad it worked out! REAMER LOANER OFFER!! @Pete: Glad it worked out for you! Now you can leave the hammer and wooden Chinese chopsticks out of your range bag when you take your S&W 22's out for exercise.:D A few days ago there was a Member from France on and he found the Manson reamer at...

LERK, knurled, 2 piece, 1 piece ???? My mistake. I said LERK (Large Ejector Rod Knob) and my 32 Hand Ejector has what I believe is known as a "knurled" ejector rod, but it seems to be a separate knob, not all one piece. I have not tried to remove so I don't know if left or right hand threads...

GB good for me to check pricing realty w/ completed auctions I don't bid or buy on GB but I do watch it (yea..usually Sunday evenings too) especially when I have guns for sale here on the Forum. The search completed auctions function lets me see some recent sales of the Models I've got up for...

WHOA.... Hold the presses Marcello...may NOT be refinished! I did some more thinking (I know dangerous at my age) and then I got my 32 Hand Ejector out and started comparing with Marcellos' photos sent to him by the Seller. 1st comparison: the factory bluing on his vs mine. Mine is well worn...
