    Think I got the stocks right for 1959....opinions solicited please

    A few eeks back I posted about my latest find, a Model 14 No Dash that Mike Helms said shipped in April 1959. As you experts on this site pointed out it came to me with a real nice set of PC Magna, non diamond, rounded bottom stocks. I had seen that in the store so offered less $ because of...

    Since announcing this Manson reamer and tap handle loaner program on April 20, 2025 we have been able to help some 20 Members successfully ream their S&W 22's and literally ALL Members have reported that new ammo and fired casings "fall in and fall out" without any undue force on the ejector...

    I posted this Model 14 no dash (April 1959 per Mike Helms) a couple weeks ago and yes...it came to me with PC Magna's that you experts determined from the serial number were probably a 1973 D prefix K Frame like a Model 10-5, etc. So I went searching for some period correct, diamond around the...

    Couple weeks ago (July 12) I was out of town and stumbled onto a K38 Heavy Masterpiece confirmed shipping in September 1950. You experts were really helpful at helping me identify and correctly describe that gun.....which is a super sweet shooter. Now yesterday I am out and about checking my...

    22LR Manson Loaner Reamer program - Memorial Day Weekend UPDATE

    The program is really flying. I just moments ago shipped out the two (2) Manson reamers, with tap handle and instructions to #8 and # 9 on the list so we are more than halfway through the original list of Members who wanted to finish ream their 22's. Both reamers show absolutely no signs of...

    22LR Cylinder Finisher Reamer LOANER Program UPDATE add a tap handle option

    **** Just found out that USPS Small Box Priority Mail is $10.65 anywhere in domestic USA so seems a shame to send only the Manson Reamer, but the lady at the post office cautioned AGAINST using small padded envelopes as they run through the high speed sorters and she thought too delicate for...
