Perusing Gunbroker auctions a few months ago I saw a listing which caught my eye, a "Model 28 357 Magnum 5". A 5" Model 28? Surely that's a custom job of some sort, or perhaps an mis-measured barrel. Digging a little deeper through the pictures I discovered a bit of buried treasure. The...

I recently used the service “shipmygun” and it went very well. It’s facilitated by Buds Gun Shop, just picked the size of the package, an FFL from their FFL finder, printed out a label and dropped it off at the nearest UPS customer center. 2nd day air from MD to CA with $800 insurance was less...

I just won a 28-2 on Gunbroker and realized it has a neat serial number. As I understand it, the GCA in 1968 is what made S&W change from “S” to “N” prefixes on their N frame revolvers. It also lead to the creation of those pesky 4473’s we all love filling out. Well wouldn’t you know, this 28-2...

To bring this thread back to life, I just won an auction on a Highway Patrolman with a set of grips that look like cokes to me, and am wondering if I'm on track. Thanks! Kirby

Reminds me a lot of the heritage models from the early 2000’s, an odd mix of old & new. Kirby

Upon further investigation the center pin is much more difficult to get moving than the ones in my other guns. I'll see if I can get that cleaned up some more . Upon further & further investigation, the end of the center pin was so mushroomed out that it wouldn't pass through the ejector rod...

Good Evening, I just picked up a 29-2 that I'm experience a small issue with. The first thing I noticed was the thumb piece had a "hitch" when pushing forward to open the cylinder. Also the double action pull had a noticeable snag to get the trigger movement started. I fully disassembled...

I was thinking non-relieved targets would be correct. Thanks!

I just ordered this pre-27. Did any 5 screw guns come with these football diamond targets? I’m assuming they’re probably late 50’s early 60’s. Thanks, Kirby

The prettiest I own is a prewar .38/44 Outdoorsman.

I was thinking that might be the case, thanks for the confirmation. Kirby

Are these coke-bottle grips? It looks like the enlarged checkering field and other features are there, but I wouldn't mind getting another set of eyes on them before I do anything drastic. Thanks in advance, Kirby

The letter mentions magna stocks, were they available that early? I figured it would have been shipped with service stocks.

I will take #13, Pre-Model 27, 6.5 inch, pursuant to our email exchange. Kirby

Out of my collection, it would be... 1. Ruger Mark IV 2. Kidd 10/22 3. 14.5" AR w/ Low Power Variable Scope 4. Glock 17 MOS 5. Accuracy International AT 308 Winchester 6. Ruger No.1 45-70 7. S&W 15-3 4" 8. S&W 27-2 6" 9. S&W 29-2 6" 10. Remington 870 Wingmaster Tried to go for mixture of fun &...

Well she's fixed! Took it completely part, stoned the trigger, and put in a new rebound spring, and now I can't get it to push off. Thanks for the help!

Good eye, yes it is a King front sight. I’d love to get a super target one day.

Thanks for the info, the little bit of research I had done seemed to be leaning in that direction.

Good Afternoon! I just picked up this 1933 .38/44 Outdoorsman, I figured it would the closest I’ll ever get to a prewar magnum. It seems to be in great shape, but when I got home I noticed that it doesn’t take much force at all to push the hammer off in single action. While this gun probably...
