That's a beauty Jeff!

I love those stocks!

Yes sir and I edited my post.

I just finished Ren-waxing this one that I found in a gun shop in Austin three years ago on consignment. Very nice, possibly unfired 38/44 HD, 4" "Transitional". I believe that the serial number range on these begins at S62400 and this one is S62845 that shipped in July of 1946. This is a...

Jim how rare are the 6” guns?

Dr. Jinks theorizes there are only 2 and I have one of them. Look at the second to the last post in this thread and you can see where the twin of mine went for over $5K in an Amoskeag auction this year...

I’ve been looking for one of these for a while at a good price and brought this one home this week. This little guy shipped in May of 1951 to NYPD and was one of a hundred in the shipment. Serial number is 554394 and the stocks appear to be pre war, maybe replaced by a department armorer. I...

I’m the original poster and didn’t realize that GB links expired. I’m not sure why you’re putting an anger emoji into a conversation with a stranger.

I haven’t seen David Carroll and Woodlawn Boys at all this year.

I’m bowing out of your thread. Feel free to put me on ignore and I’ll do the same.

Got it. So your facts are coming from a news outlet, not a formal investigation.

I’m curious how you know that the “guardian” made an accurate assessment of another observably armed person definitively being an active shooter? I’ve had two on duty CONUS shootings that resulted in fatalities that I was cleared by a grand jury on, so I’m familiar with use of force. Politics...

You don’t think it’s the “guardian’s” fault that they missed what they were shooting at and then hit and killed an innocent bystander?

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1108781013 I think that’s the most I’ve seen a pre war HD run up to.

I try not to waste my time. Two year old threads would be a good example.

Thanks Richard, this was my first time doing something like this and I enjoyed the process.

John stripped off the old finish and charcoal blued the gun. Cut the barrel to 3.5” and fashioned a King’s style base from scratch. He actually found a King’s sight to drop in. I have a ton of custom stocks but I think this one looks perfect with a pair of NOS unused factory magnas in a dark...

In all my gun browsing I spotted a cool 38/44 that had gone on Amoskeag a few years ago. It had been cut to 3.5”, had a King’s base installed and a blade front. A drift adjustable rear completed the sighting system and then the old gal was nicely engraved. Here’s that old gun...

Two years ago I got this 38/44 HD on GB pretty cheap. https://smith-wessonforum.com/threads/38-44-hd-45-colt-conversion.704926/page-2 It had been converted to .45 Colt and had a dull re-finish. Great shooter, and a phenomenal action. After some thought I decided to initiate a custom project...

Here’s mine purchased on the forum a couple of years ago. Terrible finish but Dr. Jones wasn’t much for aesthetics with his firearms. Very cool Curtis Harlow aged American Holly stocks. Show them off!
