    Price Check on a Model 18-4.

    It seemed a little high - the guy is actually asking $700. I emailed him and told him I'd give him $550 if it is in the condition he says it is. He countered with $620 and said that was as low as he would go. Seems like the new "classics" are pushing peoples asking price way up on the old ones...

    Price Check on a Model 18-4.

    Has original grips and a set of targets grips, has box but not original to this gun. Supposedly has only been fired 6 times since it left the factory. Is it worth an hour drive for $620? Woody

    Vampire Gun by (Leanord Francolini)

    D'Angelo, Guys who can engrave have always amazed me. Will you have access to original drawings, the gun or just go from the close-up pictures on the Museums web-site? It looks like a challenging project - best of luck. Woody

    Pro Series SW1911 in 9mm

    I have the fixed version. I am hoping that Remington Golden Sabre's shoot out of it well.

    Pro Series SW1911 in 9mm

    Just picked one up today (fixed sights) - Wondering what over the counter ammo is giving good accuracy? Don't really want to reload 9mm.

    Scholfield

    I had a chance back in 2002 to buy one of the new S&W model 3 Schofields - I was not reloading at the time and pasted on it. If I remember correctly the dealer wanted right at $1300 for it ( I think the msrp was in the $1550 range). The things we end up regretting. That revolver was...

    New 617 cosmetic defect - Is this OK?

    I have never seen that before - makes me wonder if it could add "collect-ability" to your gun like with errors on currency? I hate to say it, but I kinda like it and if it was mine I would leave it.

    617 3" BBL

    Configured like a 4" 617-1 - just shorten the barrel an inch. Full Lug, No Lock, Combat Grips,Square Butt, No MIM, 6 shot. Or a 648 in the same configuration with WMR cylinders installed and 22lr in box - I would even take this one in a 4" version.

    Found - Model 18-2 Bolt

    I have a lot of play in the Thumbpiece - rotational play relative to the frame,so I disassembled and I believe the surface on the bolt that "rides" against the hammer is excessively worn and allowing the unwanted movement. So I would like to purchase a non MIM replacement. I could probably use...

    Model 73 ???

    I had never heard of a model 73 - so it interested me - I did a search and came up with some old forum results that I believe are saying the model 73 was a 2" full lugged revolver? See last posting in below linked thread...

    Just Sold my SW 500..now what to buy:)?

    I think you should find a Elmer Keith 29 commemorative (gold and all) and shoot the heck out of it. I would think that could start new conversations - I've seen quite a few for sale and they all seem to be new in box never fired outside of the factory :)

    Covered Backstrap Grips for J-Frame

    If you don't mind modifying grips - You could find a pair of uncle mikes 59007 "rubber" grips (like the ones that came on the 360J's) and remove the third finger of the grip if you know someone with a mill - there is a nice plastic rib that could be followed for removal. Just a though - at least...

    I Got An Itch.....Need 625 Advice

I love the gun - I will only say a couple of things - 1) if you decide to buy one stick with steel clips (I have had a couple of issues with Beckham RIMZ plastic speedloaders - they are easy to load but I had a round that the firing pin went through...
