I recently had a GP100 in 10MM Auto Ruger converted to 10mm Magnum by Tyler Gun Works. I talked to Bobby Tyler about doing the same thing to my 610, and without much explanation, he said he wasn't set up to do it. I know people have had it done. I know you can rent the reamers and do it...

I've never had this happen before. I pulled my 8 3/8" older model 500 out to shoot yesterday and when opening the cylinder, I observed the yoke was loose. I figured correctly that the yoke screw was loose, so I tightened it back. Yoke and cylinder were still loose. Undid the screw all the way...

I am looking for a reduced load for 350 grain hard alloy bullets to shoot in a Ruger No 1458 Win Mag. I am interested in using Unique or similar powder. I already have the trail Boss formula figured out. Right now I only need data for 350 gr hard cast bullets as i have a lot of these that i...

I bought a new 460 Bone Collector approximately two weeks ago. Today as I was shooting it, the first hint was what I believe to be a chunk of copper jacket hit me hard enough on the cheek to bring a little blood. Upon further inspection, I discovered the muzzle brake would turn in my hand, and...

Haven't posted anything here in a long time. I acquired this a few days ago. After shooting 45 Colt, a lot of 454 Casull and a few 270 grain 460's, I am not going to complain about the IL or MIM. One of the finest revolvers I've ever handled. I've shot a lot of .454 Casull in a brand X revolver...

I borrowed a friend's Lewis Lead Remover yesterday with the intent of de-leading all my .38 and .357 revolvers. I did about 5 flawlessly and then I tried it on my 4" model 10. It seemed much tighter and after I got it about 2/3 the way up the barrel, it would not move any more. I did not want to...

Just felt like taking a pic of my Nickel revolvers. Actually, I like nickel better than blue. Top to bottom: M29-2 from '80 Brand X from '78 M57 from '80 M10-5 from '63 M27-2 from '64 38/44 HD from '34

I walked in the LGS last night to see if they had some 22 ammo. Walked out with a flat latch model 36 for $239.00. It has cheesy plastic MOP stocks, but other than that it is a really nice little shooter grade revolver from about '64-'65. Anyone have a set of J frame SB diamonds they're willing...

I know from a factory letter, that production of the 38/44 HD Revolver resumed on 18 June 1946 at approximately S62940. I had in the past assumed that N Frame serial numbers were distributed between the various models as they were completed, but I have a 3rd Model 44 HE that shipped on 18 July...

2 purchases from Bill in the past month. Almost like buying face to face except both guns better than described. Thanks, Bill Pat Henson

These started out as smooth non-relieved, but developed a crack from the medallion up. I sent them back to Keith to see what could be done. After determining the crack was superficial, I decided to have Keith do some checkering on them. I'm pretty happy with the results on a very oily pre-27...

Since this is for the older 6 1/2 inch Hand Ejectors, I am posting it in this part of the forum:

Took some photos today of my favorite stocks from the '50's. My photo skills are not the best.

serial # S2889XX, my best guess is it shipped 1965 or 1966. Its not 100%, but I plan on shooting and carrying it some.

I have a 4" Nickel model 29-2 that I purchased for what I think was a very good price at the local pawnshop a while back When I bought it I noticed that when pressing the thumb piece, it was difficult to get the cylinder to open. I think the center pin is sticking. I have already checked to see...

I was given a can of Corrosion X Aviation today. Is it safe to use on blued guns?

I've had an order in for quite some time now. It came just the other day. Pretty nice Christmas present, I think.

I was in the LGS yesterday looking for some ammo (I Swear) and something shiny caught my attention out the corner of my eye. It was a very neglected specimen if I had ever seen one. The finish was very dull from having been stored in a holster. It was also wearing a rubber monogrip. When I...

Is there any possibility that a 28-2 shipped in August 1970 would have diamond magnas or targets with black washers? I have one with obvious aftermarket "football" targets. This gun is so nice, I'm just looking at possibilities as long as it would be correct. Thanks

Please educate me. I've done a search on the forum and really can't find what I'm looking for, it may be because it doesn't exist. I'm looking for a load using 2400 and an RCBS 35-200-FN, .358" diameter, 200 gr. cast bullet to duplicate the old 38/44 round. I know there is no modern data and...
