I've got a few Colt M1917 refurbs that have the refurb number stamped all over the darn things, even on some of the parts under the sideplate. Have you looked to see if your S&W example has them on the hammer, trigger, etc too? I chocked it up to seeing so many added numbers on the Colts due...

Did he happen to say how many were in the first production run? I have an early example in the 18XX s/n range. Thanks!

Looks like a very nice example, especially the stocks. Tell us more about how it came to reside with you!

I would love to have an example such as this to go with my South African marked Savage made No4 MkI*! Nice, thanks for sharing it!

I'd love to eventually add just such an example to my M1917/.45acp revolver collection. Nice find. All I've seen have been priced accordingly to their scarcity. 😂

I'm not tired of it and I for one would love to find such a nice 1950 example as yours to go with my 1955.........at a very inexpensive price that makes everyone else jealous of course!

You just had to do it didn'tchya WGGuy! Dang.

A good giveaway before checking to see if the stocks are matching s/n wise is proper fit. Flush along the frame with no proudness, smallness, or gaps. Of course all bets are off if the original stocks have been sanded/reworked or if they have been correctly fit when replaced. Here is my...

magger, can you post a legible pic of page 1, page 2, page 3.........;)

Book title? (I guessed I missed it if it was posted.) Addendum: Oops, found it in Post #31.

Maybe you can lemme "borrow" that book? ;)

I thought it was funny how said "old" with regards to it. Heck I'm older than what that .30-30 would have been at that timeframe.......and I ain't "old". :p

Do you remember the dead/stuffed rattlesnakes he had in the glass display case that he had rigged with a string so he could make them jump at you when you looked real close? That trick got me, my step-brother, and cousins when we were way too young to be a roofin' in the Texas summer heat!

It is currently on Netflix if you know someone that has an account. I'm tempted to watch it again today.

Was it common at one time for folks to say lead in place of ammunition or ammo? I've never hear it put as such but you do have a point with regards to the rifle ammo as well. Then again I wasn't around in the 1930's.........not even by a longshot.

Here's the old Barrow garage/home on Singleton Blvd. It's still standing somewhat but sadly our old roofing office/warehouse/yard that was just east of the Barrow garage have been gone for a number of years now. I can remember going into Ray's Sporting Goods (just down the road from the Barrow...

I knew somebody was going to say this!!!!!!!!!!

BB57, I tried not to pick the scene apart too much as I was just pleased the 1917 Smith and a few half-moonclips got a shout out. I did think it was odd he asked for a black 1917 instead of saying blued. Also thought it was odd he asked for .45 lead instead of ball or fmj considering the auto...

I watched this movie recently and as an M1917 revolver accumulator this scene brought a big smile to my face. I thought you guys might enjoy it too. On a sidenote we used to drive by Clyde Barrow's father's garage every time we drove to the family roofing office/yard on Singleton Blvd in Dallas...
