Some of you may have witnessed this very recent Gunbroker sale which I was asked by a sharp eyed friend to comment on some days before it closed last night. It's beautiful and a low #492 that would only make a nice shooter. Because however, it does have "history", some factory work but also a...

My 41 is an early 70s vintage. The manual safety is a bear to disengage. I bought the gun new so I know that no one has worked on it. I have cleaned and oiled it but no help. Is this the nature of the beast on the Model 41 or does it need better fitting?

I have never found a Triple Lock Schematic. But the Mod 24 .44 spl Schematic found here at Gunparts: Smith & Wesson 24 Revolver Parts, Schematics | Gun Parts Corp. is almost as good with a few revisions that I've listed with correct part names and photos below : Photo by Steelslaver...

Got this WW I 1917 Army pretty cheap; all original except it had a cut down .455 Mk II barrel (bore dimensions all wrong for 45 ACP.) Here it is converted to a barrel w/shroud the way the factory should have made them pre war, (at least after the military production), the same as the 44...

Does anyone have experience with Wally Francis, (1-262-626-4964, address W9154 Brazelton Dr., Kewaskum, WI, 53040) for work on old S&Ws? I recently purchased a 2nd model American/1st Russian commercial. The trigger sear is broken off. I would like to have it repaired. Thx,

Prefer a 2005 to 2009 Model 22 .45 ACP barrel for a 1917 project. Need one with the extractor shroud like from the Thunder Ranch Mod 22 and Mod 22-4 Classic Model 4" fixed sight. Part # 297680000. Will consider: Model 25 target barrel 4" ACP or 45 Colt 1917 barrel Mod 22 shroudless barrel...

On this well worn Model of 1955 pre Model 43, my son installed a 3” Model 63 stainless shrouded barrel and bead blasted the entire gun.

This is a refinished M 34 'New I frame' with .400" target trigger. Not a factory re-finish so not that collectible, but my favorite shooter. Therefore it seemed a good candidate for me to 'massage'. 4" barrel replaced with a M 43, 3 1/2", a more preferable length for me. Fortunately the M 43...

Need a set of LYMAN All American 218 Bee dies in the old black paper box.

Is anyone aware of these ever being the subject of conversions to shoot metallic cartridges; either historically or contemporary? It would be very interesting to me if such was ever attempted and I would be interested in any historical information. Also with Uberti cloning everything under the...

Funny how you can own a gun over a year before noticing something different. #2702 target with number matching factory sights which appear to be original. Yes, re-blued but not at the factory. I noticed the front sight gold inlay before buying it. But not the superfine checkering on the...

The following is very good. One problem with our entire form of government and the only deficiency I can lay at the feet of our forefathers is the lack of a Constitutional Defense Branch of government. I’d vote for a party that would add an amendment for that branch and gladly approve of my...
