For sale, one really nice pair of what I believe are Goncalo Alves (please correct me if I'm wrong) square butt, N frame target stocks with the speed loader cut. Stocks are ink stamped June 2, 1997 on the inside of one grip panel. I'm asking SPF plus shipping and insurance (if requested)...

It is coming back to a few theaters for two nights this September: Dr. Strangelove presented by TCM (2016) | Fandango

Give them a call, they answered right away when I called and had answers to all the questions I asked.

Files arrived today. The total including shipping both ways was less than $85 all in. I have not unwrapped them all yet but the files that I looked at that passed look nearly new and the files that had the handles dipped red while not perfect look much improved over what was sent. Thanks to...

I'm hoping it is a little of both. Some of the files had slight physical damage or had been shortened or narrowed so the news was not really surprising. Much of what I sent had duplicates within the batch as well.

I received a call from Boggs last night. Only 32 of the 62 files I sent were able to be sharpened to their standards. They are all on the way back so I'll see what they look like when they get here.

The side opening .50 caliber ammo can was very common during WWII but was superseded post war.

That's a pretty slick idea.

That is my current plan as I'm out of wall space to hang the majority of them up. The LGS has/had a ratty Kennedy 520 machinist chest for sale for not that much money. It's make good file storage, if I had the bench space to put it on. I shipped 62 files off to Boggs earlier today. They were...

I have 50-60 dull files sitting on my workbench right now of both American and Swiss patterns. All quality tools and 90% made by Nicholson that I've found, bought or inherited over the years. They'll be on their way to Boggs in the next couple of days so I can put them back into service. Of...

I was afraid of that. I asked the seller but he/she wasn't going to be home to double check before the auction ended. Ah well, I guess my search will continue!

Disregard, I just bought a set of stocks with the wrong diameter medallions in error. D'oh!

IMO, more details are needed. That could be a bad deal, a fair price or a great deal depending on what is actually for sale.

Great guy to deal with.

82124 I think.

Thanks for all the opinions, I think I'll go with my gut (and the majority) and put them in the parts box and keep looking for a badly damaged set to take the medallions from.

Any idea how they justify that and/or compensate the owner? I'd imagine in some jurisdictions, firearms are registered and at minimum some explaining may need to be done as to where your firearm went. That doesn't count the potentially unhappy (former) owner either.

I need a pair of 1/2" diameter medallions to replace the Colt medallions someone put in a set of Eagle N Frame round to square stocks. To that end, I came up with this pair of stocks. That said, now that I have them in hand, I think they are too nice to break up for the medallions. There are...

If memory serves, that was how it was being sold.

Thanks for all the opinions. This was striclty a curiosity question relating to a M547 I saw for sale clear across the country.
