Life has thrown me a few curves this past year and I have not posted hardly at all although I have been around. I have been going through a rapid and unexpected career-change that does not seem to be over yet although the personal life has survived just fine. (Yes, Colonel Roettinger's NRM is just fine and safe as well.) But something has come up that is too good not to show around.
A friend in Guadalajara just came across this nice K-38. Perhaps it pre-dates 1961 but I have chosen to post it here and if I am wrong it is not intentional.
The condition is very nice for a Mexican gun, since often they are not kept up very well. The red ramp front sight is also most interesting as are the non-football stocks with nice diamonds there in the centers.
As I said, I have had more than a few unexpected curves thrown at me in the past year and am still dealing with some serious changes in lifestyle. One of them is that I no long have an M-5 Multitronic unit for a computer, just this crappy Mexican laptop that often kicks me out without notice so I tend to keep any writing sessions -- including emails -- short and to the point. So I won't risk being kicked out here and just get on with posting the photos.
Some marks on the stocks, probably from brass being extracted into them.
These are Cel phone photos, but pretty decent ones, and certainly clear enough for us to see what Marco has stumbled onto.
Red ramp with white outline, target trigger and hammer, and serial number is K-366440. Barrel is 6 inches from cylinder face to end of tube. Although it sort of looks longer, I had him confirm that. Okay, that's my post on this horrible laptop for this K-38 in Guadalajara! Good show, Marco! Saludos, everyone!
