    Suppressor ammo?

    Hey All- I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of a .22 suppressor. One of the guns I plan to use it on is my M&P15-22. Obviously subsonic or standard velocity ammo is quietest; any suggestions? Best, PaulG

    Boxes through the Years

    Due to lack of anything better to do, I was rearranging my factory S&W boxes and noticed the subtle (and not so subtle) changes over the years. Just what I need, another reason to collect guns, so I can get all the different box variations. Cheers! Pauldg

    A fixer upper gun

    I found this old gun at a yard sale. My cousin Moose was in the army and knows all about guns an stuff. He says he can cut the barrel off and put on one of those laser scopes to make it real tactical. He said he can paint it to. The wooden handles are all coerced up, so I’m gonna throw them out...

    Thoughts on this pre-27

    Hello Folks, I got this gem today from a family member. Ser. number S-904XX dates it around 1952-1953. It’s in great shape, with just a hint of bluing loss at the muzzle. The box I don’t believe is original, as the fit is a bit off. What really intrigues me are the stocks. They have S&W...

    Chest rig for 3” 629

    Hello All, Hiking season will be here soon, and I would like to find a leather chest rig for my 3” model 629. I usually carry a lumbar pack, which precludes using a belt holster. I’ve seen quite a few on line, but none look to be available for a 3” N-frame. BTW I am left handed. Thanks! PaulG

    28-2 out of time

    Hello! I recently picked up a 28-2 for what I thought was a good price. It passed all my initial checks, at least as far as my limited knowledge is concerned. You know what they say about things being too good to be true? I finally had the chance to shoot it yesterday. It appears to be out of...

    28-2 Forcing Cone Question

    Hey Folks, I just picked up a 28-2, and upon looking more closely at it, the forcing cone looks like it was sort of beveled on the outer edge. None of my other Smiths look like this. It is evenly done all around so I would think it was intentional. Almost looks like the beginnings of threads if...

    Help with identification please

    Hello, I am trying to help a family member with some of his late father’s collection. This is a photo of what I believe is an earlier J-frame. The guns are actually a couple hundred miles away, so I am depending on photos to provide information. I can’t find this serial number is the SCSW, the...

    Harbor Freight walnut media?

    Hello all, The time has come to replace my tumbling media. I'm thinking of trying the walnut from Harbor Freight. Does anyone have experience with this? Fine or coarse? I've been using some that I purchased at a gun show years back, so I don't know exactly what it was, other than walnut. Always...
