So what is on the calendar for August?

 

[MiGS]

I love those kind of months!
58 gave me a little tingle... Gorgeous!!!

All 3 of those are on my list of models I have to own at some point, and you got them all in one month. Congrats! I bet you're very excited. You did very well. Enjoy!

Bread and water,if the wife has anything to say about it.

If August is like July, you *could* make some profit. But if you're like most of us, the safe just gets more residents...

Does anyone know if the grips on the 58 could be original?The serial number is S258XXX.It seems to me that it should have diamond service grips.There is a penciled number on the inside of the right grip,but it's too faint to read.
Thanks

Nice guns, all three. I think the stocks on the 58 should be diamond magnas. Check this earlier post for more info and pictures of S stamped 58 stocks:

Thanks,Jeff.I sort of figured they weren't original when I saw the photos on Gunbroker,but I bought it anyway.I was pleasantly surprised when I picked it up yesterday.The photos didn't do it justice.Almost to pretty to carry and shoot,almost.

Was the 17 numbered in '58?

 

[Valmet]

Very nice- I haven't had a 3-gun month in ages...congrats!

I think they started numbering in 1957.

Probably my last one for a while,too.I think I used up all my Brownie points with the wife.

The below model 58, serial number S258381 has serial number matching stocks (grips) per my records. The serial number, as best I recall, is stamped onto the backside of the left stock (grip). Even though our serial numbers our close I cannot tell if your serial number is before or after mine but even if after I would think it should have had diamond stocks (grips).

Very nice month indeed!

I doubt it.The dog sleeps with her.

Good. More space for you in the dog house!
