Hi Folks, Not sure if this is the correct part of the forum to post this question. However, I have a Model 29-2 1977 era that I have always assumed to be new/mint. The side plate logo is not as crisp as others in my collection. So, can you tell me what could cause this? All other markings...

Well, this made my day. I have been working with an FNH FiveseveN pistol recently and I took this bowling pin out to see what my 5.7x28 reloads would do to it. 25 rounds later a few chips out of the plastic and a few small holes. The Rifleman article was fresh in my mind. I went back in...

Picked this up at a local gun show. It looks unfired. Beautiful...

I was wondering if someone could give me a ballpark value on two revolvers. One is a K-22 Outdoorsman. It is 98-99% in a red box. I don't have the serial number. The second is a pre 36 Baby Chief w/half moon sight in the red box. Looks to be unfired with a small rust spot on the cylinder...

Following are pics of some K Frame Round Butt Ropers (as identified by forum members). The price is $400.00 shipped to your address via USPS Priority Mail. First "I'll take it" followed by a PM. USPS Money Order or Cashier's Check. These are in excellent shape with the exception of a small...

What do you think of these "J" frame Ropers and what do you think they are worth?

I was just watching a special on the bullet on the History Channel. They had a segment on Marines loading ammo at Quantico, Va. A few things were interesting. They showed the Marines loading brass with expended primers, tumbling media being loaded into cases as powder and completed cartridges...

I have been buying and selling on Ebay for over 13 years. Until recently, I have had very good experiences. Ebay used to be an excellent way to auction. They charged fees based upon your listing services and a final value fee based upon the total sales price. This fee used to be about 4%...

I'm looking at a registered magnum. It is in excellent condition 98/99%. Some box rub near the muzzle and a turn ring. Other than that no noticible bluing wear. It has the original steel backed adapter grips and a pair of nice Roper walnut grips. It has a 6" barrel, gold bead front sight...

Recently I saw a LNIB 27-5 3 1/2" go for over $2,000 on Gunbroker. In 1991 there was a limited run/reintroduction of 1500 27-5 revolvers with 3 1/2" and 5" barrels. These were not pinned or recessed. Would you place these guns at a premium over the 27-2s? Just wondering what the experts think.

I recently fired some handloaded .45 Colt Cartridges in my Smith 4" 25-5. The load was 8.5 grs. Unique behind a Speer 250 gr. swaged lead bullet. The cases were new R-P nickel plated brass. In 50 rounds, I had 9 lengthwise split cases and 5 cases where the nickel peeled off the front of the...

I was shooting my M57 the other day and when I came home I noticed that the locking bolt pin had backed out. I tapped it back it but it was still loose. I decided to put a little locktite on the pin. Today at the range I couldn't open the cylinder. When I got home, I drove the pin out and...

Approximately one year ago I decided to perform a simple, though not too scientific, experiment. I placed a nickel plated, used, .45 ACP case in Hoppe's 9 to see what the effects would be. Following are some pictures after that one year test period: The Hoppe's turned a teal...

I have been using 230 gr. Remington Golden Sabre bullets in my .45 ACP with 6.5 grs. of Unique with no problems. Speer #13 manual lists 230 gr. Speer God Dots at a max of 6.0 grs. Unique. I can't find any reloading info for Golden Sabre Bullets. Should I be backing off? Anybody using Golden...

I just picked up a 4" 624 .44 Special. In the box was the certified letter sent to the Original Owner from S&W advising of the recall. I thought I would publish it here since I have never seen a copy of the original letter and thought that it would be of interest.

Will a letter from S&W document whether or not a firearm has been sent in for refinishing or repair?

This is a picture I got off of the internet of a 4" 24-3 with a smooth target trigger. The revolver is LNIB. I recently purchased another one allegedly never fired with the same trigger. Most of them I've seen have the thinner serrated trigger. I think they're probably original triggers...

Can anyone comment on the accuracy of the 24-3 with a 3" barrel? Thanks!
