    Iver Johnson, once again

    Some of you may have figured out that I am fond of those old Owlhead revolvers. The latest find ticks about all the uncommon Iver Johnson boxes. A "large frame" two inch barrel Cycle Model, blue instead of the standard nickel finish, and six shots of .32 S&W Long. Not bad looking for a gun...

    Mossberg 44US memories

    It was mentioned on another thread that maybe the Mossberg 44US deserved its own thread. OK then, here goes. The Mossberg 44US-D was not the first gun I shot, but it was the first gun I was allowed to own. Bought from a pawn shop, at age 12, with paper route money. In 1959 the background...

    Model 3 Russian commercial?

    Stumbled into this today. From what I can figure out this revolver is from a group of Model 3 Russians produced for the domestic commercial market. The serial number is 35896 and there is a diamond with the letters SH stamped in the butt, which, I believe, is the mark of Schuyler, Hartley &...

    Model 39-2

    Looking for a reliable shooter grade Model 39-2. Blue, decent wood, maybe spare mag or two. Nickel is too gaudy for my tastes, and rubber grips are tacky.

    .32-20 revolver wanted

    I am looking for a shooter grade .32-20 with a 5 inch barrel. A mechanically sound Hand Ejector, 5th change would be about perfect. It is destined to be a working gun. Nickel or blue doesn't matter. Don't care if the grips number to the gun, as long as they are serviceable. I don't want or...

    WTT J-frame LS hammer (GONE)

    The hammer is gone, trade made. However, if you have a J-frame hammer that fits the ball end type mainspring strut you want to sell outright, I'd be interested, shoot me a price.
