    Correct grips for 1938 S&W M&P Model of 1905 4th Change

    What would be the correct grips for a 1938 S&W M&P Model of 1905 4th Change? And what’s the approximate value of the ones on it. They are in excellent condition but possibly refinished. This was a police gun and it shows, except for the grips. They’re way too nice for the gun.

    What type grips are these?

    Was wondering what type 1911 grips these are. Seller states Red Stag. I’m thinking stag could be correct but not sure about red stag. Also, what value would you place on these? Thanks for any help.

    Berry 45 230gr. RN for 45 Colt?

    I purchased these bullets for reloading 45 ACP years ago but have recently purchased a Winchester Lever gun in 45 Colt that I plan to reload for. Can I use these bullets for 45 Colt and is it safe to use round nose bullets in a tube magazine? BTW, these Berry bullets are swaged lead core...

    Winchester 1873 Lever 45 Colt

    I recently picked up a Winchester 1873 Limited Deluxe Saddle Carbine 18” in 357 magnum that I’d been looking at but before that I was looking at the Winchester Sporting Deluxe 1873 with a 24” barrel. It comes in 357 magnum,44-40 and 45 Colt and since I didn’t want to go with the same caliber I...

    Winchester 1873 Limited Series Carbine- Updated Pictures

    I’ve been wanting a lever action in 357/38 Special for a while now and with Christmas money I started shopping. I always thought it would be the Marlin made by Ruger but when I saw the Limited Series by Winchester (Made by Miroku) I fell in love with it. These are limited by Davidsons to 101...

    SAP’s, Blackjacks, Carnies!

    Well, found something else to spend money on. Recently got in on a drop from Buccaneer Knives on some SAP’s made by Fosters. This is my first one but I could see myself picking up one of his small Blackjacks. This one is around 7.5 inches and about 10 ounces of lead. These things pack a wallop...

    A couple of Colts and a “wanna be” Colt

    I’m helping a relative sell a group of guns that she inherited from her father in 2000. They’re not gun people and after an incident by her husband who has dementia she wants them gone. I’ve sold 6 but have more than that to go. But they’re going to give me one for doing all the leg work...

    As if the refinish wasn’t bad enough

    Here’s another one from a distant relative wanting guns out of the house. The refinish is bad but as if that wasn’t enough they etched numbers into the trigger guard. I guess a shooter for someone it will be.

    A couple of S&W’s from family members long time storage

    A family member is getting rid of all their father’s guns which were distributed to the kids years ago (who are now in their 60’s and 70’s). I’ve been out of the S&W game a few years and not up on current pricing. One is a 70’ S&W 10-5 Snub square butt with 99% bluing but has scattered specks...

    **SOLD** Vintage Sambar Stag Grigs for Prewar S&W

    This is an excellent set of old Sambar Stag grips made for Prewar S&W’s N frames. No chips or breaks, they have a nice palm swell in the middle and taper down toward the bottom. I’m not sure they were ever fitted to an individual gun as they are slightly oversized. These are some of the best...

    S&W Triplelock at local auction

    This one sold today at a local auction that the wife and I go to every once in a while. It’s usually antiques but once or twice a year he’ll sell guns. He runs a great auction. I won a M&P 32-20 there a couple of years ago. Being broke on gun money, I didn’t bother going today but it was on...

    Remington TAC-14 Hardwood

    This is the one that might finally push me to get one of these. The wood furniture along with the 5+1 and the vintage style front strap mount just looks right. Who has one? I’ve been reading and seeing videos of the 870’s built after 2007 are more prone to rust on the outside finish. Anyone...
