    44he 3rd model assistance.

    I’ve recently come across a 3rd model 44. As you can see it’s the scare 6.5in barrel sn#29342. I’m not generally a N frame guy but I recognize it for what it is. Would $2100 be good bad or ugly for this example? Thanks in advance.

    Stevens 44 in 22lr.

    I recently acquired a 44 in 22lr. It seems the stock as been refinish but has the original h sight set. Which is a Lyman combination front and a Lyman #1 tang sight. As you can see from the target it has the potential to shoot great. I seem to gathering quite a few single shot 22’s.

    Model 1894 Winchester stock stamping?

    I purchased this 94 TD rifle long ago when I first got in to collecting. It’s also the gun that taught me that I know nothing about collecting firearms. It was cut down and bubbaed up petty good. It took awhile to get straightened out but I did and it shoots great. One thing that has always...

    1905 2nd change 32-20 target?

    I recently acquired another 32-20 target. This one has me a little stumped. The sn# number has it as a 1905 2nd change but it’s missing the extractor pins. Which is the engineering change that makes it a 2nd change. All of the numbers match the bore and chambers are bright and shiny. It shipped...

    Projects completed thanks to the forum

    I’ve managed to complete 3 projects over the last couple months. First up is my 1905 4th change 32-20 target with Curt’s Roper grips. They are simply awesome. Next is a 1953 K22 combat masterpiece. Curt repaired a 1 inch chunk missing from the left grip panel. A fellow member reamed the 2nd...

    Reaming K22 cylinder to 22mag

    I’ve fitted an extra cylinder to my K22 with the intention of reaming it to 22mag. I see that you can rent the reamers and I’m willing to give it a go. My question is are their any forum members that could do this or do this? My work schedule is starting to push this project to the back burner...
