We've been camping since mid-May. We left Arizona heading north to Canada and Alaska, enjoying a leisure pace. While we have witnessed some outrageously beautiful places, what stands out is how civil absolute strangers have been. Montana, Alberta, Yukon, and of course Alaska has some of...

Greetings from AZ, My wife and I (and furry kids) are planning a late spring - summer road trip to Alaska. I can legally transport a shotgun through Canada on our way to Alaska, but handguns are a no-no. I’m looking for insight into shipping a pistol to a FFL in the Anchorage area...

I have a mid-1950’s 38 Combat Masterpiece, serial number K233767 that has non-relieved diamond target stocks. The stocks are in excellent condition…..except for the high gloss, rattle can spray job with what looks like polyurethane. I’m ready to strip them with acetone and want to know if there...

I’m a dog lover. My neighbor was walking her two pups, on leash, after she got home from work yesterday. I was returning home from errands, and out of no where came a pure white pit bull that absolutely attacked one of her dogs. I saw it happen in slow motion. The pit bull grabbed the victim dog...

I’m not sure what Dan Dietrich’s handle is on the forum but I can attest that he did marvelous work on restoring my original Outdoorsman stocks. The checkering was crushed in a few places and I find it near impossible to find those spots. The Revolver is now reunited with its original stocks...

I believe that the target stocks shown in the pictures are made from Rosewood. I’m looking for confirming opinions….that are much appreciated. Tom H.

I am interested in the approximate shipping dates for my two S prefix Military and Police revolvers shown in the attached pictures. Their serial numbers are S866716 and S880234. Any information is much appreciated. Tom H. I might be pushing things a bit here —- what box would Smith have used...

Hello Fellow Members, I just purchased a near mint, blued 19-2 with serial number K781832. My trusty SCSW book tells me it’s a 1967 manufactured revolver. It is wearing an excellent pair of blue washer, football cutout stocks. Sorry, no pictures are available at this time. Are the stocks...

I’m looking to purchase a Smith and Wesson box for my model 15-3 2 inch barrel, square butt, blue finish revolver. Box needs to be in good- very good condition. Please PM if you have one. I have strong preference for doing business with SWCA and Forum members.

I’m feeling the need, no —- want for a collector quality, early chief special. I prefer a flat latch, diamond grip, round butt, blue with the matching box and documentation/tools. I’m only going to do this once, so high condition is important. Please private message me with any possible...

Shown in the attached pictures is a US 1924 $20 dollar gold Double Eagle (MS-62) and a US 1908 $5 dollar gold Indian Head (AU). I believe that both may have some numismatic value besides the 1 1/4 ounces of gold. I’d like $3,000.00 for both - shipped USPS Priority Mail insured. No tax, no...

I am looking for a set of side plate screws (4) for my 357 Magnum (Pre-27) serial number S151xxx. The side plate is scuffed from a holster strap left open. The previous owner decided to try and remove the plate — and gave up, not before he buggered the screw heads with an incorrect screwdriver...

I have a model 37 box that “needs a bath”, and I’m looking for advice on how to clean it up without causing any damage. Mild soap and water? Formula 409? Acetone? Your consideration is appreciated. Tom H.

I’m looking for a pair of N frame magnas for a mid-1970’s model 28-2. They must be high condition. Tom H.

Today at a small local gun show I purchased a 5 inch barrel 27-2 that was wearing the target stocks shown in the pictures. I recognize that they are likely a decade or so early for the N362095 gun. I’m wondering if I stumbled upon a set of Cokes? The material is also unknown to me. Any help is...

I’m wanting to add a 3 1/2 or 4 inch blue model 27-2 or earlier to my modest collection. For sale or trade is a near perfect Ruger 10-22 magnum with Redfield scope. It’s a later version with 2 “extractors”, the inner removed and included with 5 magazines and leather sling. It’s had about 50...

Hello All, I just purchased a model 10-8 Heavy Barrel with a AUS xxxx serial number. The LGS had two, I bought the best one. The revolver appears to be from some municipality/government. My SCSW book does not recognize this number. I paid about $300 for it. Pictures to follow. Any ideas where...

While visiting our local gun show yesterday, I purchased a set of K frame stocks. They are shown in the attached pictures. I’m looking for any information on what era they are from and what the “KPC” stamps on the back side might mean. Comments are appreciated. Tom H.

I’m disappointed. I’m in the process of selling my wife’s 2006 Mazda Miata MX-5. I advertised in on Autotrader with many in-focus pictures showing a 35K miles pristine hangar queen. I priced it at full retail value ($12,500). Within hours I had 7 different out of state area code texts saying...

Hello Folks, I’m inclined to purchase an absolutely mint 18-4; just the revolver with no box, etc. The owner wants about a $1,000.00 for it OTD. Am I romancing B.S. at that price? It’s veeeeerrry pleasing and checks all of the boxes. Thanks, Tom H.
