    SOLD - S&W model 27 barrel 2.5"??

    Beautiful S&W .357 mag barrel. I am guessing from the checkering on the top strap that it is an N frame model 27 barrel. I have plenty of photos which show its condition - really close to perfect. Smallest of bright spot on muzzle crown and front sight base, can be seen in photos. The barrel...

    Correct method to clamp revolver in vise

    This is horrible advice in my opinion

    If you have a post removed: here's why

    No kidding, like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Every time I log into this site and see that I have a notification, I get nervous thinking I got another “ding”. It is a relief when I see they are just “likes” to a post.

    1903 Hand Ejector

    I paid 3x his price for one from Cabelas library a month ago. Exterior condition was excellent, barrel bore not so much. Haven’t shot it yet so I am holding out hope. The lock works cleaned up nicely after a deep clean, although i found something I had never found before. A large flat spot...

    Sad manufacturing

    Please excuse my ignorance, but where are the revolvers being made now? I know the HQ moved to Maryville, and I have seen pistols marked from there. Has everything moved? Can’t help but to think all of this transition has negatively impacted QC either way.

    S&W Model 35 WMR Project

    I am curious about the accuracy you will get. Nominal for a 22lr barrel is 0.222 vs 0.224 for a wmr. I wonder if you will need to do any forcing cone work. A .22 WMR bullet will have no problem swagging down 0.002 so the accuracy could be surprisingly nice. Best of luck, take photos.

    44 magnum gold engraved HELP!

    Beautiful engraved revolver. Question from a neophyte - how does one even find guns like this to purchase? I work a full time job, never know about these auction house sales until someone posts a score from one of them. So basically if it isn’t on the big popular one or two sites I just don’t...

    For sale rules

    I am NOT a lawyer, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. Not exactly, it was The Adolphus Marriott in historic downtown Dallas. A quick search on a hugely popular sporting sales website “hi I’m Larry, and that’s the way it is…” shows that any break action muzzle stuffer can be...

    Sig P365 at the 7,500 round mark

    Onomea, The original 365 grip size fits my smaller hands quite well. The overall size, round capacity, and grip ergonomics made it an immediate purchase for me. I would think someone with large hands would find the regular 365 grip to be almost comically small. The only thing I wished for was...

    Sig P365 at the 7,500 round mark

    I was a very early adopter of the Sig 365, purchased one within a month of them being released. Some of the early ones suffered broken firing pins from primer drag depending on the ammunition used. Sig recontoured the firing pin to address the issue (a turned radius instead of a hard shoulder)...

    K22 stainless question

    Sam, Thank you for sharing your new acquisition with the forum. I for one really like it and do not see the hard chrome refinish as a negative, just the opposite. To me it is worth every bit what you paid for it. Regards, Chaz

    Has the Scout Rifle Outlived it's Hey Day?

    Yes, I feel the scout rifle has outlived its heyday. Especially the “scout” scope concept. It does nothing well with serious limitations in several scenarios (sun into or behind you, precise shots at distance). And I own a Steyr Scout .308, but pulled the scout scope years ago for a...

    Picking up a M&P 22 Magnum

    This is disappointing to hear. I inherited a case of W-W ammo and have been debating the purchase of this pistol.

    Any time I see “30 super carry” I think “dodo bird”. In 5 or ten years I think their fate will be the same

    Need help to ID a S&W 32.20

    Were original pearl stocks from this era actually made from pearls? What about all the aftermarket grips from this timeframe that were common but didn’t have the medallions? Sorry for the silly question, but the subject came up this week at work and no one knew definitively.
