Howdy Y'all, This evening I'm planning on heading up to TN, from East Central Florida Coast, I95 up to I26, then up to Kingsport, TN. I have a well-stocked cabin in a very isolated location, and I'd rather be up there sitting on the river instead of a Florida suburb town while all of this...

Although I live in Central Florida, I have a cabin on the Clinch River in Tennessee. I guess I spend about 25% of my time up there, and I'm defiantly there every month. I was thinking that it might be a great place for a few of us to hold an informal meet & greet, and just a general all-around...

Yep, I found the scoundrel. Saw him in my mirror this morning. Handsome fellow, looks just like Brad Pitt (in my humble estimation). Problem is, he is, in fact, the world's worst deer hunter. Hands down. Let me explain... Now I fancy myself a pretty good rifle shot. In the Navy, I earned my...

Now that I've brought these three beauties together, I may have progressed just a bit from Accumulator to Collector. With the help of a couple of members here, I have finally put together my first set...three full lug target revolvers, all with as-issued combat grips. Only one of these, the...

I just received my grips from Haris, and they are outstanding! Thanks Haris! Tom

Just received my beautiful grips from Taroman. Shipping was fast, and with the BEST packaging I've ever received! Deal with confidence! Tom

I picked up this old 38 Special late Wednesday night, and had a 6am flight up here to Tennessee on Thursday, so I haven't really given it a thorough look-see, including the number under the right grip panel to see if the numbers all match. The other numbers I found did match, these were frame...

I had posted before that I started the Keto diet back on August 13th, with a goal of loosing enough weight to hopefully escape my dependence on BP meds. The diet, along with regular, if not strenuous, exercise has had me go from about 204 lbs in August to 171 lbs this morning. Last Monday, my...

Ghost Magnum is a great seller, deal with confidence! Great Prices! Fast shipping! Thanks!

Deal with confidence! Great goods! Lightning fast shipping with packaging that will survive a nuke strike! You can't go wrong with howiema! Thanks a bunch Paul! The grips look great on the Python! Regards, Tom

So exactly one month ago today, my wife put me on a version of the 'Keto' diet. Basically, no sugar, no carbs. I have taken this regime to heart, and have lost almost 20 lbs in the last month (from approx. 200 to 181 on my 5'9" frame), but now an issue has arisen. I have been on High Blood...

Thanks for all of the wonderful knowledge and insight that I've gained here from all of y'all. I've obviously learned a BUNCH since I've been here, mostly about S&W firearms and collecting, but thanks for all of the other stuff, too. Whatever the subject, I've learned that the best place to...

Just received my mags from Forsmithers, all are brand new and awesome. Deal with confidence, great seller! Tom

Just received my grips from Masterbuck54. Beautiful grips, professionally packaged, sent quick, and at a great price! What more could you ask for? Outstanding seller! :)

So I ordered some stocks from Thailand, specifically 'Smith & Wesson N Frame Round Butt Grips Checkered Hardwood Open Back #NRW01' from Handicraft Grips. Basically, some round-to-square conversion grips. I had ordered some grips from them several years ago, and was pleased with what they sent...

I was just shown a rather nice 16-4 with a 6" barrel. Conservative estimate of condition a tad above 90%. Offered to me at $800 (down from $850 original asking price). Stocks are not original, the issued Combats have been replaced with a nice set of Targets. What do I do here guys? Go for it...

Ed is a great seller, can't recommend highly enough. Great communications and lightening fast shipping! Tom

I bought this last week in an antique store in Bristol, Va. Paid $59 for it. It's 8" across the base, and 19.75" tall. Pretty hefty. The second pic was taken with an LED flashlight inside, so you can see that it's translucent. I know that y'all are a VERY smart and experienced bunch, so I'm...

Nothing here particularly rare, basically just honing my newly-found (and not yet very well developed) photo skills. From top to bottom: Brazilian 1937 WWI Original Finish M1917 M1917 with (probably) WWII park Victory 38 Spl Only the grips on the WWI are original, although I do have the...

I have been on the Board for a while now, but I haven’t been posting a lot due to my photo-ignorance. Yesterday, however, I fixed that, and now that I have come to learn how easy it is to post pics y’all will have to bear with me while I play ‘catch-up’ with some of my nicer Smiths. This is my...
