A pair of K-square butt grips showed up at a local gun show today and I was asked to identify what they fit and who made them. At first they looked big enough to fit a SB N-frame but no, they fit a SQ K/L frame. I have no clue who made them ... any help from the experts here? Russ

Nothing but praise for NFrameFred ... very professional ... much appreciated Russ

Thank you Mike for a very professional transaction Russ (aka "linde")

Two questions on a Model 39-2 . . . (1) at approx what serial number (or date) did the Model 39-2 follower change from the metal (figure 8) to the plastic or, said another way, should s/n A422344 have the metal or plastic? (2) did S&W ever produce a "parkerized" 39-2 magazine as shown on the...

Help me identify the maker of these grips and the type of wood they are made from. They are very well made and have a "Roper-like" appearance. At first glance they appear to be walnut but the wood is softer and much lighter in weight than I would expect from walnut. They cover the front and...

A very professional transaction and a pleasure to do business with . . . thank you.

A friend recently acquired a 3” Model PC-13 (model 13-4) and needs to clean up some spots on the finish. My initial reaction was to have him soak with Kroil followed with a light touch using bronze wool soaked in Kroil . . . but I hesitate to recommend that not knowing if it will leave...

This past weekend I attended a local auction and became curator of a .455 Hand Ejector 1st Model (Triple Lock). Based on Hondo44’s research, it is one of the approximately 5800 produced in 1914-1915 under contract for the British government. Although 105 years old and having survived service...

A friend sent me this picture of a Model 10-8 (circa 1983) that is clearly marked by the importer (don't recall which one) and with proof marks on the frame and barrel that I can't identify. If needed I can have him bring it over and we can take better, close-up pictures. Thanks, Russ

Which of the two magazines pictured below is the correct magazine for an early (non-rail) 4513TSW? - Both hold 6 rounds, are marked ES1, and seem to fit the 4513TSW - Neither has the additional pressed indentations at the lips designed for the CS-45 - Shape of the base plates is very...

I’m a relative novice when it comes to 3rd generation semi-autos so it’s not surprising I have a few questions about this 4513TSW I picked up yesterday. 1) The serial number is MSF6531 but I don’t see any MXX s/n prefixes listed in the SCSW 4th edition. Is there anything special about the MSF...

Question . . . is Italian-made Fiocchi 380 Lungo ammunition the same as .38 Long Colt? Went to an auction today and bought some "Cal. 380 LUNGO" which was sold as .38 Long Colt . . . but I'm having my doubts. I put a caliper to the two rounds . . . the case diameter is within production...
