Estate sale yesterday. Picked up a M46 7” barrel in the original box. Not perfect condition but probably a 90%. The box had blown out corners but I can repair that. Came with an ugly set of Plastic grips. I put a set of M41 grips I had on it. Question, did the M46 come with the same grips...

Picked the 14 no dash at auction today. SN K366xxx which I assume to be 1959. It is a triple T’s except the grips are aftermarket. It is also SAO, with a very nice trigger. I assume these grips are probably Herretts? Anybody have a better guess as to the grip maker? BTW paid $650...

Picked up two high standard model 103’s today. I’m a model 41/52 guy but the high standard autos have a calling for me

Picked up two items in an estate sale a couple of weeks ago for a couple dollars each. I’m a sucker for buying stuff I have never seen before. I finally figured out what the first one is. It’s a watchmaker’s staking tool. Has a wood case that is in the process of refinishing. The...

A couple of weeks ago I bought a slide and a 5” field. Barrel at a small gun show near Fort Worth. I already had complete guns for all the barrel lengths including the 5” field barrel and the 5-1/2” EFS. Now I have a complete set of “spare”barrels. What can I say,,,, I like M41’s about as...

All, looking for anybody who can give info on my friend’s gun. It is a MAB top break rimfire. Barrel says 9 mil. It is a smooth bore so assume it is a 9mm rimfire shot gun.

Been thinking about building a pneumatic reloading press for a while. I dont have a rotator cuff on my right shoulder and the left is torn so some operations with the press are difficult. Anyway, decided to build one with a pneumatic cylinder, pedal to operate. Tried it this evening sizing...

Cold and rainy her in north texas today so I decided to do some reloading. Didn’t have very many loaded shells for my mini 30 so decided add a few. Anyway, I was in the middle of reloading and remembered , I bought all the components in the fall of 2000 at gun shows from guys who said “ammo...

My FFL friend picked up this old revolver in an auction. There are no markings anywhere on it. The “pin “ pulls out and cams over to be an ejector rod. Loads and ejects out the right side like a single action. I believe it is a 38 caliber. Anybody know what it is?

Picked up a nice nickle 586 ,4” ,no dash at the pawn shop about a month ago. SN is ABF31XX. Roy says it shipped in May 1983. It has target stocks but not the trigger or hammer. Looking at the SCSW I cannot find what the product code would be. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, George

I’ve looked for a replacement little “top hat” spacer used to hold the gun in place in the 1 piece box from the 80’s. Has anybody found a source for these? Thanks, George

Well, I got it together. Got the stripped vent rib slide off ebay, another slide for the internals off eBay and bought a shooter 39-2 in a gun show. Put it all together and shot it yesterday. Works perfectly. I have been waiting for a shooter grade (cheaper than $600) model 39 no dash but...

Hi M39 guys, I have a slide from a M39 no dash that has been modified with a vent rib and adj sights. I just bought a ‘well experienced’ M39-2. I would like to install the 39 slide on the 39-2 frame. 1st, is it possible? 2nd, what do I need to do to either the slide or the frame to create a...

I have dug through the “miscellaneous “ bins at pawn shops for years looking for a jewel. Finally found one. A S&W SAT from the 50’s. Now I feel validated for all that digging. Found a nice 8 row SAT. Picked up another small screwdriver and was out the door for $1. I have a couple of 22 and...

Bought a M17-3 today at the Fort Worth gun show with some target grips. The M17 was pristine but had aftermarket grips. Need a little help identifying the grips. Nothing on the backside of the grips. I assumed they were Siles but usually Siles have “Made in Italy” stamped on the inside.

Went with my buddy to the pawn shops around Tulsa on Tuesday. I have been looking for a Model 41 barrel to replace one of mine that is “cosmetic challenged”. We were looking in the gun case next to two M41’s and there is a 5-1/2” barrel priced at $299. Not a great bargain but I have been...

Picked up an oddity on eBay the other day just because it was Odd. Standard 4” barrel slide with vent rib and ‘National Match” stamped above Smith & Wesson logo. Now I think I need to find a beat up Model 39 to install it on. Anybody have any info. ? George

Model 52’s have been getting hard to find lately. Found a Model 52-2 at the gun show today. It was in a zip-lock bag. Looked like all the major parts are there so I bought it. Paid $300 OTD. Since I own 5 model 52’s I figured the parts were probably worth that much. The slide and frame had...

Making my pawn shop rounds this morning and saw this 15-3 in the case. Priced at $300+ tax. Couldn’t pass it up. I’ve now got the grips with the first coat of Tung oil. Gun is pretty pristine with a faint turn line but otherwise like new. Don’t see many 2” M15’s. Never own a M15 before. I...
