I came across a .455 Triple Lock at a local dealer today. Sorry - no photos. It's probably the only Triple Lock that I've handled that was for sale in over 30 years of gun collecting. I don't know anything about them so I need some advice. Forward of the grips/stocks the the bluing on the gun...

I hope this helps the ammo situation: Vista Outdoor, the company that recently purchased the Remington ammunition plant in Lonoke, said Thursday that integration of the Arkansas operation into its larger business is ahead of schedule and that it is hiring and training workers as quickly as...

I went into my LGS yesterday. As I was picking my way through the crowd I was looking through the display cases of used handguns. I didn't see much of interest. I was ready to go and stopped by a case that had customers in front of it earlier. In the back of a middle shelf I noticed a...

I impulse bid on model 24-3 last week. It was late and it is one of my grail guns. The photos looked okay - dirty but not great photos. I entered the minimum bid and to my surprise I won. I was very pleasantly surprised when it came in. Faint cylinder ring, no muzzle wear, great grips, near...

If you ever happen to go through Claremore OK, stop by the J.M. Davis Arms & Historical Museum. Okay, I know "where is Claremore?" It's a bit out of the way, not far from Tulsa on historic Rte. 66. It is an amazing collection of guns of all ages up to the 1950's. Something like 7,000 firearms...

A local gun shop has a S&W Model 56 for sale. I looked at it briefly and it is marked Model 56, it has wood grips, no letter. I didn't know to look for the U.S. on the back strap. I hadn't heard of the model 56 until a few days ago and a thread here on the forums. I'd rate the finish at...

I know the Model 27 is blue, but it's not my gun, it's on GB and it is a puzzle. Search for: Smith & Wesson Custom Model 27 44 Mag Stainless The revolver is an N frame Smith converted from .357 to .44. New cylinder and bored out barrel. It appears to be stainless but it is marked 27-2 in the...

What am I missing? There is a model 25 on Gunbroker and it is already over $500 and it doesn't have a cylinder! Is there something else that makes this revolver special? The barrel is marked 45 Colt but there complete guns for not a whole lot more. Link removed IAW forum rules. Thanks, Dave

Larry's Gun Shop in Huntsville has quite collection of fine and collectible guns. He also has some amazing deals on Rugers and ammo. I noticed this S&W Model 270 Int'l Line Thrower in his personal collection display case the other day. It's complete with the projectile which I believe is very...

I came across this Model 64-4 over the holidays. I am not familiar with these. How's it look to the experts? Thanks, Dave

One of our local gun shops seems to have very good connections within the industry. The presidents of Ruger and Hornady have both been to visit and stay for three days recently. When I dropped by the other day they had shelf full of model 64s. Some used, some abused and some in between. All had...

I was looking at a four-inch .44 magnum today. The barrel has a about 50% blue, the receiver is in better shape and it has replacement rubber grips. It is not marked model 29. The dealer wants $900 which is high for a shooter grade .44. Unless, there is a significant premium for a pre-29...

I ran across a well used .45 revolver today in a pawn shop. Fixed sights, thin barrel marked Model of 1950 (or something similar). S prefix serial number, and no lanyard ring or hole. No lock. Blue is okay with some light frecking and scratches - about 75%. Grips were in good shape with some...

I've been looking for a 38/44 for sometime. My grandfather carried one when he was a sheriff in Floyd County, VA from 1924-1940. He started with a .32 Colt and changed over to the .38/44 after the .32 proved to be inadequate. My 82 year old father said Grandpa's pistol was nickle plated and he...

I won this holster in a drawing at a match. I don't have the pistol so it's for sale. New in the package black Bladetech holster with techlok attachment for a S&W 4006. $34.99 and $5 for shipping. This half of the new cost. Ammo SPF Sold my .455 S&W so I don't need the ammo and yes I regret...

Is a S&W 642-2 cut for moonclips from the factory? With the muzzle up there seems to enough gap (it miked at .030)between the rim and the cylinder to use moon clips. I checked my manual and the S&W website and saw no mention of the moonclips. Thanks, Dave

I bought some new .38 special ammo for my concealed carry piece. When I tried it out in my 642-2 seven of 15 rounds would not fire, even with multiple hits. I shot about 50 rounds of other .38 special and all but one fired fine. It did make me think; what maintenance should I perfom on the...
