    Colt Second Gen SAA

    This outstanding factory fresh .357 was a gift from my wife. She enlisted the help of a close friend who deals in high end doubles (and has a keen eye for these things). I really think the second gen guns are some of the best to collect and own. My reasoning is as follows… 1. Fit and finish is...

    Forum karma and 1911 stocks

    A forum member reached out via PM about an issue he was having with one of his guns. Next thing you know we are on the phone discovering how much we have in common. Long story short, I helped him with a minor problem he had and he graciously sent me two sets of beautifully crafted Birds Eye...

    Royal Hong Kong Model 10 value?

    I stumbled across a Model 10-7 RHKP. High condition for a service revolver, appears to have been shot little. With lanyard ring. AHT prefix serial number. Roll mark on back strap is RHKP with a rack number. What does the brain trust say a fair purchase price would be? The local gun shop just...

    .25-20 SS Cartridges No Longer Avail. please close thread

    99 fully loaded .25-20 SS (single shot) cartridges including a new 100 round capacity Case Guard box. This ammo will be shipped (properly labeled) via UPS ground. These cartridges are most likely reloaded ammo, with no damage/disfiguration/stress marks on any of them. The brass should last a...

    Attention .25-20 SS shooters (not .25-20 WCF)

    Cleaning out my ammo shelves I found a bunch of .25-20 Single Shot rifle cartridges. I have a rifle in .25-20 WCF so I picked these up years ago figuring I would eventually shoot 'em up. Well, once I examined them closely I realized they were too long to be .25-20 WCF, although all the...

    Connecticut Shotgun Mfg Co (on life support?)

    I've always been a fan of classic double barrel shotguns...both SxS and O/Us. It was cool to see an American co. dive into the modern manufacture of these types of guns. Resurrecting existing designs (Fox, Winchester) and creating some new ones (RBL, Inverness etc) was certainly an ambitious...

    Deer season now open in my town

    “To think that I saw it on Mulberry Street” - to quote Dr. Seuss (one of my favs , by the way) Here we have one of our local citizens, I guess doing what most deer hunters do who are successful, happily transporting a deer back to camp. I would love to see your comments on this one.

    Colt 1st gen SAA in .38 Special

    After several years of searching my local area for a nice prewar Colt, I finally gave up and turned my attention to the firearms auctions of some well known auction houses. I realized I was going to pay a premium to swim in that end of the pool, but a recent promotion at work would soften the...

    CZ 457 American

    I’m a big fan of .22 LR rifles and own several old Remingtons and Savages. Now as I get older, and my eyesight isn’t what it used to be, I have decided I needed a fine .22 with a scope. CZ recently came out with a left handed bolt. SOLD! I bought one and a Leupold VX Freedom 2-7x with Warne...

    Turn line question for S&W pistolsmiths

    Experts, Is the turn line on S&W revolvers caused by closing the cylinder while the cylinder is in such a position that the bolt scratches the cylinder as the shooter rotates the cylinder to engage the locking recess? As I operate my revolvers in single or double action it appears that the...

    Free moon clip for .45 auto

    I have no need for this .45 auto moon clip. It appears to be slightly warped on one end so it may need a slight tap on a hard flat surface. Post "I'll take it" and follow up with a PM of where to ship it. Postage is on me. Please, shipping to US destination only. Cap

    Recent K-32 Masterpiece price

    Did anyone catch that auction on GunBroke (sic) that closed yesterday featuring a Model 16-3 K-32? The winning bid was $2712 which seems to me like a very good price for such a gun. Hopefully someone here who has been wanting to get into a sweet .32 picked it up.

    K-22 barrel marking question

    Hey folks, I viewed a like new Model 17 no dash (four screw) today. It had a target hammer and walnut diamond target stocks. I don't remember the serial number but it was in the 300,000 range, I believe. As I looked on the barrel flat area (ejector cutout spot) there was clearly an "X"...

    Hunters, have you ever heard the “whack-boom”

    Interesting thing happened the other day while deer hunting with a couple of friends. We set up quite a ways from each other with plenty of topography between us. Around 9:15 am I heard a “whack boom”. “What the heck?” I say to myself. That sounded weird. I knew who shot. He was carrying a...

    Reyes holster, looking for info please

    My wife went to a large “trunk sale” recently. I told her to keep an eye out for carved leather holsters. If cheap, buy. She came back with this one. ($15) I know next to nothing about Reyes, except that it was made in Mexico. I’m guessing the code on the back signifies a High Standard with 5”...

    Any ideas on value of Model 13-3

    Hey folks, my nephew is interested in selling his S&W Model 13-3. It dates to around 1982-83 if I recall correctly, has a 3" barrel and factory original stocks. The mechanical condition is excellent and finish is very nice, probably some minor carry wear. As soon as he sends me photos I will...

    Back to the 1980’s

    Just a short post to remind us of some of the beautiful goodies available back in 1986. This catalog has some great photos of some very fine firearms. I own a model 67 and a 651 so thought I would include those pages. I found the section on available special order sights of interest, hope you...

    Success with the .280 Remington (A Yuletide Tale IV)

    The crosshairs were dancing all over the grassy field. “I need to settle down”, I thought to myself. In the scope’s field of view was a buck with the biggest rack I’ve ever seen while holding a loaded rifle. Seconds earlier I saw two does run from behind a slight rise in the field. They...

    Ithaca Model 66

    On the way to work today I stopped at my local gun shop to check on current inventory. I saw this crazy ‘lever action’ single shot Ithaca with slug sights. Very respectable condition. “How much?” I says. Owner says “Hundred bucks.” “I’ll take it.” Says I. I love those Ithaca slug sights. I...
